Skincare for Hyperpigmentation

The right skincare routine can make a visible difference to hyperpigmentation. A consistent approach using brightening, protective, and hydrating ingredients helps to fade dark spots while preventing new ones from forming. Discover expert insights below.

Hyperpigmentation types and causes

Not all pigmentation concerns are the same. Here’s how to identify what your skin needs:

Sunspots (Solar Lentigines): These small, dark patches appear after prolonged UV exposure and are most common on areas like the face, hands, and shoulders.

Melasma: Often influenced by hormones, melasma presents as larger, blotchy patches of discolouration and is commonly seen during pregnancy or with certain contraceptives.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): These dark marks remain after acne, eczema, or other skin trauma, lingering long after the initial irritation has healed.

Each type of hyperpigmentation requires a targeted approach to help fade discoloration and prevent further darkening.

Our brightening skincare collection is designed to reduce pigmentation, protect against further discoloration, and restore an even complexion by supporting skin renewal, hydration, and antioxidant protection. 

By combining powerful active ingredients with nourishing hydrators and antioxidants, our formulas help skin regain its natural clarity and radiance.

How do I clear my hyperpigmentation?

Fading hyperpigmentation takes time, but a consistent skincare routine with the right ingredients can speed up the process. 

Brightening ingredients such as Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Silver Hydrosol protect against further discoloration and help break down existing pigment. 

Layering this with an effective moisturiser supports hydration, which in turn encourages healthy skin renewal, allowing dark spots to fade more evenly. 

What skincare product is best for hyperpigmentation?

To care for hyperpigmentation gently yet effectively, we recommend the following product types:

Nourishing cleanser - Avoid abrasive scrubs or exfoliating tools. Instead, opt for a cream or milk-based cleanser that hydrates while removing impurities. Look for calming botanicals and skin-replenishing ingredients. Our oil-to-milk cleanser does just that. 

Targeted serum or essence - After cleansing, apply a lightweight serum with antioxidant-rich ingredients such as Chaga Mushroom, Vitamin C or Niacinamide. These ingredients help to regulate melanin production and improve tone without irritation.

Restorative moisturiser - Lock in hydration and support skin regeneration with a moisturiser like our silver face cream, formulated with Silver Hydrosol, DNA HP and Argan Oil. This step strengthens the skin’s barrier and supports a more even complexion over time.

Broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 - Perhaps the most important step. UV exposure can deepen pigmentation and undo progress made with skincare. Choose a broad-spectrum mineral or hybrid sunscreen and wear it daily - even on cloudy days.

Which serum is best for hyperpigmentation?

The best serum for hyperpigmentation should contain ingredients that brighten, protect, and strengthen the skin barrier. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Silver Hydrosol help to reduce dark spots while preventing further discoloration. DNA HP enhances hydration, allowing the skin to renew itself more effectively. 

Peptides and soothing botanical extracts can further support an even skin tone by calming inflammation, which can contribute to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A well-formulated serum works best when used consistently, paired with daily sun protection to maintain results.
