Hyperpigmentation refers to dark spots, patches, or uneven skin tone caused by excess melanin production. It can result from sun exposure, acne scars, hormonal changes, or skin injuries. Common types include sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Effective treatment focuses on brightening the skin, evening out tone, and preventing further discoloration. This often includes ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, retinol, and exfoliating acids, along with daily sun protection to prevent spots from worsening. With consistent care, hyperpigmentation can fade, revealing a clearer and more radiant complexion.
