Pigmentation & Dark Spots
Dark spots, uneven tone, jhaiyan.
Morning: 10% Vitamin C + SPF. Night: Hydra Glow Cream (0.3% retinol + alpha arbutin) a few nights a week — the same pairing as our pigmentation bundle. Consistency beats harsh bleaching.
Three common causes.
UV is the #1 driver of pigmentation. Even on cloudy days, SPF is non-negotiable.
Dark spots after breakouts are pigmentation, not scars — they fade with consistency.
Deeper patches on cheeks and forehead. A gentle Vitamin C + SPF routine helps; see a dermatologist for chronic melasma.
