Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition in which irregular patches of skin become darker than the surrounding area. It can affect all skin types, at any age and these darker areas are the result of excess melanin production, which can be caused by everything from acne scars to sun damage.
We all want glowing skin but pesky hyperpigmentation is one of the biggest concerns as it steals the skin of any radiance and results in an uneven, dull complexion instead.
The good news is that clear, bright skin is within reach and in today’s video, I share my EASY hacks to treat hyperpigmentation so you can reclaim your grown-up glow!
As always thank you so much for watching and for all your support!

After my 30's the melasma monster started, just like my mother's and brother's. Obviuosly genetic. But doctors usually ignore that fact and keep giving you hope with all those amazing treatments, ,afterall they wanna profit. I spent thousands trying to make it better, became neurotic because of the sun, only to become frustraded for years. Untill the pandemic started and I realized all the time and energy I wasted with something that can't be fixed (in my case), so I started seeing beauty beyond that and I'm much happier, and richer for saving all that money 😅.

@annieway35 2 года назад

You can't use both at the same time because they cancel each other out. I use benzoyl peroxide as part of my morning routine and I use azelaic acid in the evening, moisturizer and then my retinol. In Dr. Sam's Acne video series she talks about how to use benzoyl peroxide. I think it's the Acne Solved part 1 video, it's super helpful. I've used BP since the 80s and for the first time in my life, I hardly need it at all. The azelaic acid works just as well, took about two months with a proper routine and I only use BP as a spot treatment now.

@user-ii4rq5ko3x Год назад

@@annieway35 I’ve never used azaelic acid before. I’ve been using Tret for over 2 years and ready to add something to my routine to tackle hyperpigmentation. Have you got a good suggestion for Azaleic, as in any particular brand/product? I’m an oily, blemish prone person. I use BHA, AHA and BP as and when my skin needs them. So would you suggest Azaleic acid in the evening before retinoid?

@annieway35 Год назад

@@user-ii4rq5ko3x Hi, I swear by Azaleic acid by The Ordinary, it's light and goes on dry. Use it in the evenings before retinoid, but like 30-60 minutes before so it can do some work before you put on the retinoid, they don't counter-act each other but there can be some drying. It took a good 6-9 months of using BP as a spot treatment (in the am) and retinoid in the pm to see significant results. It works! Your hyperpigmentation will fade.

Hi Doctor, thank you so much for this. I have this greyish hue on my face overall because I did a home chemical peel and got sun exposure the next day. I have used several lightening agents as prescribed by various doctors including vitamin C, kojic acid, botanical extracts. I also did a few professional chemical peels and a laser treatment. However my skin does look greyish and very very dull, and it looks strange because I have a golden tone all over my body. My doctor prescribed Hydroquinone 2% once a day (at night), and it seems to be working but PAINFULLY SLOWLY. I have been using it for almost 40 days now. I don't have any irritation or any side effects. How do I amplify this process? I asked my doctor for 4% prescription but he is skeptical as it may cause irritation. However I am absolutely broken due to my skin condition it has been 6 months and i don't go anywhere out without 3 layers of foundation :((((((((. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

I have a good amount of success treating acne with benzoyl peroxide but also want to use adapalene, retinol, C, B3, and acids in my routine. How might I alternate using a BP cleanser and a salicylic acid cleanser with the other actives? Would a cleanser pH even affect other actives since it is rinsed off?

@cv7958 2 года назад

You do not need adapalene and retinol. They are both in the vitamin A family. Pick one. Use your BP or SA wash and then apply vitamin C in the morning and retinol or adapalene at night. Go slow. I would introduce the retinol first before even attempting vitamin C because you need to see whether your skin can even adjust to retinol and BP in your routine. Both are quite irritating, especially in the beginning.

@egregoree3662 2 года назад

@@cv7958 what I usually do is this: alternate BP and SA cleanser, sometimes follow with vit C toner, then serum containing B3 and good stuff, and then I mix up the moisturizer. At night I'll alternate using one containing glycolic acid and one containing "encapsulated retinol." During the day I'll usually use a basic one without any strong actives but also use a serum with tranexamic acid and other things for dark spots. A couple of times a week I use adapalene instead of, or along with, the retinol. So, I'm acting against what she has said about sticking with one routine every day. It's worked better than my previous regime but I don't want to be doing the wrong thing anyways.

@-l485 2 года назад

@@egregoree3662 if you use both adapalene and retinol together, its going to be VERY strong and you will destroy your skin instead of rescuing it. as C V has mentioned, they are both the same, All are Vitamin A derivatives (Adapalene-a type of retinoid, tretinoin aka retinoic acid, retinol) just pick one and if it doesn't work, try another one. Also, i echo C V's comment of "go slow" don't use daily if you have never used retinol and vitamin c before. start with a low dose or patch test first. A weekly retinol and slowly increase the usage (same goes if you decided to go with tretinoin, adapalene, etc) same as vitamin c, i say a 3x a week. If you put so much strong acids/exfoliant agent on your face at one go, you greatly risk ruining your skin barrier as i have said at the start. don't forget to use a good sunscreen with all these things you plan to put on your face. (and yes Vitamin A derivatives only at night, you can try a bakuchiol serum/moisturiser during the day as well-it also have anti inflammatory and not as harsh as vitamin c)

@-l485 2 года назад

also, forget to mention this, you shouldn't mix Vitamin A with AHA/BHA, Benzyl Peroxide, Vitamin C. BP straight out cancel the effect of Vitamin A, whereas AHA/BHA are exfoliants and can cause too much drying out or irrtation if you use together with retinol. When you use Vitamin A, always opt for a routine where you don't use other exfoliant if possible (because vitamin A itself is already an exfoliant among other things) maybe opt for a gentle PH cleanser, or instead of BHA/AHA (Salicyclic Acid is a BHA) when using vitamin A, pick PHA (ex: gluconolactone, galactose, lactobionic acid) instead and opt for a moisturiser with ceramides/soothing ingredients

@egregoree3662 2 года назад

Thank you C V and - L for your advice! I'll do as you said and go slower with a more gentle approach. I didn't realize how often I was actually exfoliating with those products. Before I started using those, it was simply a BP cleanser and plain Neutrogena face moisturizer. I still got hormonal acne and dark marks followed every single breakout. Now the marks are starting fade and everything looks brighter and fresher but I was worried about doing too much at once. Will definitely step it back. Thanks.

Hi I am from Pakistan. I also suffered from it. My docter recommended alot of medicens but that was only for fair skin. And my skin is already fair so why he recommend that type of medicens? I have just a problem of pigmentation when I used the medicines it was wrok perfectly when I stopes the problem is more increased. There is no way to treat and get ride of it.

I had dark spots, I tried all sorts of products which didn't work. I made my own rosewater and after a month the dark spots I had for years disappeared, I also make my own facial creams natural are best and I use iron oxide.
