How to remove pigmentation using a cream?

Dark spots and pigmentation are some of the most persistent and stubborn skin issues. Luckily, the right cream can help you get rid of dark spots and prevent new ones from forming.

First things first, make sure you’re wearing broad spectrum sunscreen every single day, even when it’s raining. SPF is essential for keep pigmentation at bay since dark spots are primarily caused by UV exposure.

But that’s not all. Other environmental aggressors that generate free radicals such as urban pollution and smoke can also contribute to pigmentation disorders and other signs of aging. The good news is that free radical damage can be prevented with antioxidants.

Our favourite antioxidant is the powerful vitamin C — it works to prevent hyperpigmentation and even boost collagen production, brightening and evening out the skin tone in the process to grant a healthy-looking radiance. So, a daily dose of vitamin C in a cream or moisturiser will do your skin good.

But to help your skin recover overnight, introduce alpha-hydroxy acids into your nighttime regimen. Look for creams containing lactic acid and glycolic acid, both of which will gently exfoliate the skin as you sleep to help fade hyperpigmentation and boost glow.
