Why it happens

UV-stimulated melanin, hormonal melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Key ingredients

✦Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) — inhibits melanin enzyme
✦Niacinamide — blocks melanin transfer
✦Alpha Arbutin — fades dark spots
✦Tranexamic Acid — hormonal melasma

How to pick

Always pair with SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning — without it, brightening actives are wasted. Choose Vitamin C in opaque airtight packaging to prevent oxidation.
