Hyperpigmentation is a common concern for those looking to achieve clear, even-toned skin. At the root of the issue is an excess production of melanin (the pigment responsible for the tanning of your skin), which can be triggered by sun exposure, genetics, and hormonal changes. While sufficient daily SPF protection should always be your first line of defence, using an at-home facial peel is an effective way to target dark spots and uneven patches. These facial treatments are formulated with acids —such as Glycolic acid, salicylic acid or fruit enzymes — that exfoliate and get rid of dead skin cells, as well as increase natural collagen production to reveal a radiant and even-toned complexion.
