Dark Spots and Pigmentation
CLARIFY, BRIGHTEN, EVEN
Uneven skin tone, blotchiness, and those random patches that won’t blend — discoloration shows up in many forms and can linger for months if untreated.
Whether it's post-acne marks or sun-induced spots, the key is understanding what you're dealing with and finding a consistent, gentle routine that targets pigment irregularities at the root.
Fading the Blotches: How to Treat Discoloration for Good
What Is Skin Discoloration?
When skin tone gets patchy, here’s how to even things out.
Skin discoloration refers to any irregular darkening or lightening of the skin. It might appear as patches, marks, or blotches that don’t match your natural tone. Causes vary widely — from sun exposure and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (like after a breakout), to melasma triggered by hormones, or even irritation from harsh skincare. For some, discoloration shows up as redness or dull, shadowy areas. It’s not always easy to pinpoint the exact cause, but one thing’s clear: fading discoloration takes time, consistency, and the right lineup of products.Incorporating gentle exfoliation and brightening actives can kickstart the fading process. Ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, PHA, and fruit enzymes help resurface skin texture and slow melanin production. Go for products that both exfoliate and nourish—especially those that won’t trigger inflammation or dryness, which can worsen dark marks.
The first step to treating discoloration is prepping your skin properly. Gentle exfoliation — not scrubbing — helps remove dull buildup and allows brightening ingredients to penetrate deeper. Choose products with PHA or natural exfoliants that are suitable for sensitive skin, and aim for regular but non-irritating use. Adding oil-based cleansers or makeup removers also ensures you’re starting with a clean slate, free of residue that can dull the skin over time.

After your skin is cleansed and exfoliated, follow up with formulas designed to address the actual pigment. Look for ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, and other melanin-inhibiting actives that brighten without irritation. These ingredients not only fade existing discoloration but also help prevent new spots from forming. Most importantly, pair your treatment with a daily SPF — because no matter how powerful your serum is, sun exposure will keep resetting your progress.
