Top ingredients to target pigmentation concerns according to science
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin concern that affects many people, particularly those with darker skin tones. While there are several treatments available to reduce hyperpigmentation, not all are created equal.
Here are the top 4 ingredients that have been proven effective in treating hyperpigmentation according to research:
-
Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that helps to brighten and even out skin tone by inhibiting melanin production and promoting collagen synthesis.
-
Azelaic acid: A naturally occurring acid that has been found to be effective in treating both hyperpigmentation and acne scars. It works by reducing melanin production and promoting cell turnover.
-
Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B3 that helps to reduce hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production and promoting skin barrier function.
-
Kojic acid: A natural skin lightening agent derived from mushrooms that works by inhibiting melanin production and has been found to be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation.
