What is hyperpigmentation and how can you prevent it?


Ladies and gents, if you're experiencing dark spots and uneven skin tone despite having a consistent skincare routine to address them, then that could already be hyperpigmentation.

According to Healthline, hyperpigmentation is not "necessarily a condition" but a term that describes dark areas in the skin. It could occur in small patches, cover large areas of the skin, or, worst-case scenario, affect the entire body.

One of the common causes of hyperpigmentation is overexposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

So, if you enjoyed summer a little too much this year, it's time to bring back your skin's natural glow and healthier state by knowing how to address hyperpigmentation.

If you want an instant result, the easiest way to address hyperpigmentation is to use cosmetic lasers widely offered by many aesthetic clinics. But if you're going to treat it naturally first with products available in the market, giving ampoule serums a try is a great start.

Ampoule serums are highly concentrated and can target specific skincare problems.

While the typical serums are safe for daily usage, ampoule serums have a higher potency, which is why it is advised to be used for only six days.

Garnier's newest ampoule serum is made with 3% Vitamin C + Niacinamide, a clinically-proven power combo of ingredients.

While Vitamin C is proven to brighten and even out your skin tone and decreases hyperpigmentation, Niacinamide is an ingredient used in reducing discoloration and fortifying the skin barrier.
