Pigmentation is a common skincare concern that affects a lot of people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or age. Dark spots and patches can be caused by many factors, including hormones, UV damage, breakouts, or simply your genes! Hyperpigmentation can appear in different forms too, from age spots and freckles to melasma and an overall blotchy complexion. But don’t worry: there IS something you can do it about it. With the right skincare routine, you can diminish pigmentation and scarring for a clearer complexion. Amazing cosmeceuticals brand SkinCeuticals has a whole range of skincare for pigmentation available, so you’ll have clear and glowing skin in no time.

Do Pigmentation Marks Fade?

If you want to speed things up, changing your skincare routine is a must. Read on to discover how to clear pigmentation marks on your face fast.

Ingredients include a 0.5% stabilised form of Retinol, which delivers efficiently into the skin without causing the irritation commonly associated with Retinol-based products. This makes it a great choice for those with sensitive and reactive skin or for those who are new to using Retinol.

Retinol is a great ingredient for fading pigmentation, as it will slough away damaged skin cells to reveal a brighter and clearer complexion below. We recommend SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 serum as one of our best retinol serum's due to its effectiveness and non-irritating formula.
