Dark spots, or hyperpigmentation, are very common and highly treatable. For darker skin tones, it is best to use gentle ingredients to avoid irritation, which can worsen spots. Look for over-the-counter creams containing active ingredients like Niacinamide, Kojic Acid, Azelaic Acid, or Vitamin C. These help safely fade spots and even out your skin tone. A mild Retinol cream at night can also assist with skin renewal. Most importantly, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher daily, as sun exposure darkens these spots. Please consult a dermatologist for a personalized evaluation and prescription strength options if needed.
