A common skin condition called hyperpigmentation occurs when the skin becomes darker in some areas due to an overabundance of melanin. Hormonal changes, sun exposure, and acne scars can all cause the condition. On the face and body, it may result in patches, dark spots, or uneven skin tone.

Vitamin C, niacinamide, and exfoliating acids included in skincare solutions for hyperpigmentation can help lighten dark spots, promote skin renewal, and eventually make your skin appear more vibrant and even.
