How do I reduce or remove dark spots on my skin ?

Hi Michael,

Thank you for submitting your query! Removing a dark spot would depend on what kind of dark spot you have. If dark spots on your skin gives you concern, our first recommendation is to always consult a medical professional or a skincare professional. They can then recommend treatment options or even cosmetic procedures that will be affective in removing or reducing the appearance of these spots.

However, if you would like try reducing the spots on your skin at home, you could try a dedicated skincare regime. Dark spots on the skin is also known as hyperpigmentation, which can have a variety of causes. You can help prevent the appearance of dark spots by wearing daily sun protection. Sunscreen is the key to protecting your skin from UV rays and sun damage, which can cause and/or worsen pigmentation. Look for broad spectrum sun protection to ensure protection from both UVA and UVB rays. You could try a sunscreen from our SunSense range*, which have different products dedicated and formulated to different skin types and are all broad spectrum and SPF50+.

To reduce the appearance of dark spots, you can try products containing Vitamin C, an antioxidant that not only helps combat the production of melanin, but also helps combat signs of ageing. Products that help to brighten skin tone often contains this key ingredient. We recommend that you try our Elucent Whitening* products, which aims to help brighten complexion and reduce the appearance of darkness.
