One of the much-coveted features of healthy skin is an even skin tone. As you age, you may notice certain dark spots, discoloured patches, or darkening of certain areas on the skin. While this usually happens due to sun exposure, it can also be caused by skin ageing, hormonal imbalances, a dehydrated and damaged skin barrier, or even certain medications. And if you’re looking for an effective and long-term solution to fix this hyperpigmentation, then look no further than skincare actives.

Alpha Arbutin This potent, lesser-known skincare active is an anti-pigmentation hero that combats dark spots and lightens pigmentation and gives your skin a lasting glow. It’s a great ingredient to pair with other skin-brightening actives like Vitamin C, Niacinamide and even Glycolic Acid.

Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is a type of BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) that gently exfoliates the skin, and makes way for new skin cells that help fade dark spots and blemishes. This also helps clarify the complexion to give your skin an even tone.

Ascorbic Acid Ascorbic Acid is the purest form of Vitamin C and a powerful antioxidant that battles dark spots and fades pigmentation by promoting collagen production. It brightens the skin and replenishes your skin barrier.

Mandelic Acid If you suffer from sensitive skin, this is the perfect treatment to opt for. Mandelic Acid is a more gentle alternative to Glycolic Acid and doesn’t irritate sensitive skin, but basically has the same benefits. It helps you get rid of dark spots without causing any irritation to the skin or disbalancing the skin’s natural pH.

Lactic Acid Another top option for everyone with sensitive skin, this mild AHA active should be your go-to if you suffer from mild pigmentation, acne scars and dark spots. Lactic Acid helps buff away dead skin cells to reveal a new, even-toned layer of skin, making it an effective solution.

Azelaic Acid Azelaic Acid is one of the lesser-known skincare actives that have multiple skin benefits – primarily pigmentation. This anti-inflammatory ingredient helps keep the pores clean and treats dark spots caused by conditions like acne, melasma, or sun damage. It significantly boosts the skin’s complexion alongside, and blocks pigmentation, making it an effective treatment.
