It is l-ascorbic vitamin C, which is the purest active form of vitamin c, so if you have sensitive skin you might want to go with a vitamin C derivative. Goodal Vit-c serum and Skin&lab Vitamin c brightening serum are good alternatives for sensitive skin. The key to fading those spots is patience. It takes time and consistency to see the results. Also, use sunscreen and reapply every two hours if you are outside, more if you sweat.

    Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. I had hyperpigmentation show up really suddenly after starting a new antidepressant. I tried just about everything that I could find over the counter and the results were pretty limited. I was pleasantly surprised when I was finally able to get botox for chronic migraine and within a week the hyperpigmentation was basically gone (or at least like 90% gone). Definitely doesn't qualify as holistic, but I'm really happy with the resulting decrease in headaches and dark spots.

    the best thing i ever did was starting to use sunscreen every single day + actually taking precautions from the sun with UV blocking long sleeved clothes or just staying out of the sun in peak hours. those + alpha arbutin (in a niacin toner by good molecules) + tranexemic acid (discoloration serum by good mol.) are preventing AND fixing prior hyperpigmentation. kojic acid is also fantastic but you have to be consistent

    If you’re asian with olive skin stay away from IPL. My sister and I had great results with our first couple of treatments. Basically your dark spots get crispy and fall off like scabs but return after a few months. After our third treatments (they increase the intensity of your treatments), we noticed patches of dark spots appearing where there were none before. It’s been a couple of years and the new dark spots (patches) caused by IPL are still there. Surprisingly my original dark spots have faded, almost disappearing completely. I’ve been using various brightening serums but the key was adding a glycolic peel mask to my weekly routine.

    ASIANS- Be cautious and research if you’re thinking of getting IPL treatments
    I was happy with my first 2 treatments but then after my 3rd treatment some new spots showed up and some spots that were already there got darker. Maybe if I continued having treatments the spots might have eventually gotten lighter but that would take time and a lot of money. So I was left with my skin looking worse than before I had the IPLs! Fraxel laser treatment is another treatment I would pass on. Generally speaking Asians and other darker skinned people are more at risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after laser treatments. I wish I knew this before my treatments

      I’m Asian and had 2 sessions of IPL done. I have a fair skin but the IPL worsen my dark spots. My dermatologist was honest enough to tell me that Asian skin are hard to treat with skin hyperpigmentation. He prescribed me tretinoin 0.05% but the result took years to clear.

    Thank you for sharing your wisdom. .I am in my late twenties and I start doing skincare. I don't have any targeted areas on my face, just start having 3 or 4 freckles on my nose area in last 1 year. However, I have hyperpigmented lines on my neck. I am using cosrx snail mucin essence and alpha arbutin serum at night and vitamin c serum in morning. I am relieved that vitamin C is right choice but i am having second thoughts about arbutin. I just don't wanted to apply anything which would harm my skin or made my skin addicted to itself. Could you give me some advice please. I thought of using retinol at night at first but because i am a hairy girl i get facial hairs and do wax after every 2-3 weeks.

    I started using lanolin (nipple cream) and my dark eye circles were reduced by 90% within 5 days. I am able to go make up free now. I used ALL of the hyperpigmentation treatments with no noticeable improvement. Lasers, hydroquinone, niacinimide, glycolic acid (laroche's - this seemed to do a little something), vitamin c, retinoid, and multiple eye creams. I was on a 6 month struggle bus trying to treat this. I ordered nipple cream for lips and decided to see if putting it on my dark eye circles and hyperpigmented smile lines would work. I woke up the next morning and had a 60% reduction. By the end of the week, I had a 90% reduction in the dark eye circles. The dark smile line is completely gone on 1 side of my face.
    I've had dark eye circles my entire life. I have baby pictures with dark eye circles!!! 😂😂😂
    I have no idea why the nipple cream worked but praise be! Instant success.

    I agree that sun spots are from those younger years where people were baking themselves in the sun by the pool.

    I have always gotten only minimal sun exposure plus I always wear a large brim hat when outdoors.
