Frequently Asked Questions

What is hyperpigmentation, and what causes it?
Hyperpigmentation is the appearance of dark spots or patches on the skin caused by an overproduction of melanin. Common triggers include sun exposure, acne scars, hormonal changes, and inflammation. It can affect any skin type and is often more visible on the face.

Is retinol good for hyperpigmentation?

Retinol is highly effective for hyperpigmentation. It promotes cell turnover, helping to fade dark spots and even out skin tone. 

Medik8 offers retinoid products specifically formulated to target pigmentation, such as the Crystal Retinal range, which gently brightens and smoothens the skin.

Can vitamin C help with hyperpigmentation?

Vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant that helps to brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting melanin production and protecting the skin from sun damage. 

Medik8’s C-Tetra range of serums is perfect for treating hyperpigmentation spots and enhancing overall radiance.

What are the best products for hyperpigmentation?

The best products for hyperpigmentation often contain ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and niacinamide. 

Medik8’s Oxy-R Peptides and Retinol 10TR are designed to target dark spots, reduce pigmentation, and create a more even skin tone.

What is the best night cream for hyperpigmentation?

A night cream containing retinal is ideal for hyperpigmentation as it works overnight to accelerate skin renewal. 

Medik8’s Crystal Retinal series offers retinal-based night creams that target pigmentation and promote brighter, smoother skin with consistent use.

Can I use both retinol and vitamin C for hyperpigmentation?

Yes, using both retinol and vitamin C can be highly effective for hyperpigmentation. Apply vitamin C in the morning to brighten and protect the skin and retinol at night to accelerate cell turnover and fade dark spots. Always use sunscreen during the day to prevent further pigmentation.

How long does it take to see results from hyperpigmentation products?

It can take 6-12 weeks to see visible improvements in hyperpigmentation, depending on the severity and consistency of your skincare routine. Products like retinoids and vitamin C should be used regularly for best results, and it’s important to protect your skin with SPF during the day.

Hyperpigmentation Skincare

From lingering post-blemish marks to sun-induced dark spots, hyperpigmentation can show up differently across skin types and tones. Visible improvement comes from consistency and ingredients that work across multiple stages of the pigmentation cycle, rather than targeting just one cause.

Choose ingredients that work across the pigmentation cycle

Improving hyperpigmentation often means combining approaches. Antioxidants like vitamin C help visibly brighten and defend against environmental triggers, while tranexamic acid and targeted peptides support a more even-looking tone over time. Daily SPF remains essential to help prevent new discolouration from forming and protect the progress you’ve made.
