Hyperpigmentation skincare, explained.

Dark spots, melasma and post-acne marks can have different causes. A useful routine targets visible discolouration, supports the skin barrier and finishes with SPF every morning.

The short answer

A useful pigmentation routine combines a targeted serum with barrier support and daily broad-spectrum SPF. Consistency matters more than adding more and more actives.

01

What it is

Hyperpigmentation describes areas of skin that appear darker because more melanin is present. Common triggers include sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation and previous breakouts. The right routine depends on the cause, but daily sun protection is a consistent foundation.

02

How we treat it

Fade & Brighten Serum is the targeted morning step in the Brightening Protocol. Follow with the moisturiser prescribed for your routine, then apply Collagen Matrix Defense SPF50 as the final morning layer.

Visible change is gradual and timing varies by skin, cause and consistency. Follow each product's directions, avoid adding several new actives together, and keep SPF in the routine while addressing pigmentation.

03

Who it is for

This guide is for people concerned about uneven tone, dark spots or marks left after breakouts. If your skin is reactive, begin with a simple barrier-supporting routine. Ask the team for individual advice if you are pregnant or treating persistent or changing pigmentation.
