Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of skin produce excess melanin, creating darker patches, spots, or uneven skin tone. This can appear as post-blemish marks, sun spots, melasma, or age spots, and commonly affects the face, hands, and other sun-exposed areas.
Effective hyperpigmentation treatment involves consistent use of proven ingredients like vitamin C for brightening, retinol for skin renewal, and tranexamic acid for targeted spot reduction. Professional treatments and daily SPF protection are also crucial for best results.
Our 15% Vitamin C + EGF Serum (£15) targets overall brightening, Tranexamic Acid Serum (£16) reduces specific dark spots, and Retinol serums promote skin renewal.
Most people see initial improvements in 4-8 weeks with consistent use of active ingredients. Significant results typically appear after 12-16 weeks. Patience and consistency are key, as skin cell turnover takes approximately 28 days.
Yes! Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is the most effective prevention method. Gentle skincare routines, avoiding picking at blemishes, and using antioxidants like vitamin C also help prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) occurs after blemishes or skin injury and typically affects individual spots. Melasma appears as larger, symmetrical patches often triggered by hormones or sun exposure. Both respond to similar treatments but may require different approaches.
Flat brown, pink or grey marks left after a breakout are pigmentation and they respond to topical ingredients. Indented or raised areas are textural scarring and creams will not level them. If you can feel a change in the surface with your fingertip, it is texture, not pigment.
Start with one. Tranexamic acid interrupts the signal that triggers excess pigment, which suits marks that keep returning in the same places. Vitamin C brightens overall dullness and protects against daily environmental damage. Adding several at once makes it impossible to tell what worked.
Yes. They work at different points in the pigment process, so they complement rather than cancel each other. Neither is an exfoliating acid, so the irritation risk stays low. Apply the thinner texture first and let it absorb. Try our Tranexamic Acid Serum (£16) and 15% Vitamin C + EGF Serum (£15).
Usually sun exposure, or irritation from doing too much. UV and visible light both stimulate pigment production, so unprotected days reverse weeks of progress. Over-exfoliating, picking, or layering several acids at once creates inflammation, and inflammation creates fresh pigment. If your routine stings, that is not it working.
Yes, pause them. Irritation on pigment-prone skin tends to leave more marks behind, so pushing through is counterproductive. Go back to cleanser, moisturiser and SPF only until your skin feels comfortable, then reintroduce one product at a time.
No. Above a certain point you gain irritation rather than results, and irritation drives pigment. A well formulated lower percentage used daily outperforms a high percentage used twice then abandoned. Judge a product on whether you can tolerate it every day for three months.
