Frequently Asked Questions About Hyperpigmentation
How do you get rid of hyperpigmentation fast?
If you’re looking for a hyperpigmentation treatment, understanding what can trigger it goes a long way to both resolving and preventing it. Sun exposure, post-inflammatory trauma (from breakouts or picking), and hormonal fluctuations are some of the most common culprits of this condition. To counteract this, try the following ways to practice pigmentation skin care:
- Prioritize skincare formulas powered by clinically proven brighteners like azelaic acid, lactic acid, vitamin C serums, and alpha arbutin drops. Regularly using these products is key to managing hyperpigmentation.
- UV exposure is one of the most persistent drivers of hyperpigmentation. Daily face sunscreen is non-negotiable. Even incidental sun can undo progress, so protect your skin rain or shine.
- For more stubborn pigment or deeper discoloration, consult your Glo Pro for a personalized plan. A professional peel series that’s tailored to your skin’s needs and paired with laser treatments like IPL or BBL can dramatically accelerate results and restore your radiance.
Can a face serum reduce hyperpigmentation?
Yes, a hyperpigmentation serum like alpha arbutin drops can help reduce the appearance of pigmentation concerns and even out skin tone for a brighter, glowing effect. You can also look for a brightening face serum that contains lactic acid and/or vitamin C to further nourish and maintain your skin.
Can vitamin C remove dark spots?
Vitamin C serums can brighten your skin, even out your skin tone, and prevent further UV damage. Adding a vitamin C anti-pollution serum into your daily routine offers a more concentrated, targeted approach to treating dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Glo offers potent 15% or 20% vitamin C drops, depending on your preference and tolerance.
Which product is best for discoloration?
Look for targeted brightening skincare solutions that contain natural brighteners like azelaic acid, alpha arbutin, lactic acid, and vitamin C. As these serums can vary in strength, the best product for discoloration will be the one your skin tolerates the most and that has the best result for you over time. You can also combine homecare with professional treatments too. Speak to your Glo Pro to find a plan that works for your needs.
