Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)

Dark spots can develop from sun exposure, acne, or inflammation. Gentle exfoliation and brightening ingredients like azelaic acid and niacinamide can help fade discoloration over time. Sun protection is essential to prevent spots from darkening.

• Gentle cleanser with brightening ingredients
• Brightening treatment: azelaic acid or niacinamide
• Daily sunscreen SPF 30+ (critical to prevent darkening)

When to see a dermatologist: If dark spots are changing, irregular, or not fading with OTC care after several months, see a board‑certified dermatologist to rule out other concerns.
