Those who experience hyperpigmentation will be aware that the condition manifests itself often through uneven skin tone, post-blemish marks and darker patches on the skin. It can also appear as melasma, usually in larger patches. There are a range of causal factors, from UV exposure to medication and pregnancy, but in all cases, something has triggered the the skin to produce excess melanin in the deep, epidermal layers, which then shows up on the surface of the skin.

While there are some amazing topical ingredients you can try (from vitamin C to niacinamide), some cases of hyperpigmentation may need further treatment – often in-clinic.
