However, the best way to know for sure if a dark spot corrector is right for your skin type and tone is to consult your dermatologist, says master esthetician Sarah Akram. “There are different levels of melasma which means that the treatment or method of care will be different,” she adds, explaining that depending on your current skin routine, and what products you are using on your skin, some products make your skin more sensitive than others. Even after you’ve chosen one of the best products for dark spots, don’t forget to wear a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 every day. Sunscreen will help prevent current spots from becoming dark while helping to prevent new ones from forming.

Be sure to see a dermatologist if any dark spots look concerning. It’s important to rule out anything precancerous or cancerous spots right away and a dermatologist can provide guidance and treatment on what steps to take.

Published 2021 Mar 22. doi:10.3390/md19030172 After researching the best dark spot correctors available on the market, we narrowed down the list to the 13 most popular products currently available and brought InStyle editors to test the product in our NYC-based Lab. Then, each editor went home with a different dark spot corrector to test as part of our daily skincare routine for the next 12 weeks. We followed the manufacturer’s usage instructions and diligently applied the formula every day, sometimes twice, if the instructions called for it. What We Love: We loved that it gave our skin an instant brightness, but we were most impressed with our bouncy, plump skin at the end of the testing period.

Spot correctors are best applied as part of your morning routine, first by washing your face, then applying a spot corrector, followed by moisturizer and sunscreen,” recommends Dr. Mahmood.Zduńska K, Dana A, Kolodziejczak A, Rotsztejn H.

Aside from trying to spend less time in direct sunlight, wearing protective coverings like a wide-brimmed sun hat and of course loading up on SPF are a couple of ways to avoid dark spots. The most notable result after using this product for three months was how our skin tone looked more even than ever before. Unlike a serum you would typically apply to your entire face, this functioned as a spot corrector, allowing us to really hone in on specific areas of discoloration. Darkness from acne spots or dyspigmentation (an abnormality in the formation or distribution of pigmentation in the skin) tends to respond well to over-the-counter dark spot remedies. Keep in mind that it can take up to three months to start to see results. Several plant extracts in the Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum make this a powerhouse against hyperpigmentation. Similar to Clinique’s Dark Spot Corrector, this formulation contains turmeric root, mulberry root, cucumber fruit, barley, grapefruit peel, and rice. Many of these ingredients have shown the ability to halt tyrosinase from producing more melanin. A dark spot remover or corrector is a beauty product that does wonders. It can help to lighten or even diminish dark spots on your skin, regardless of whether they are from sun damage, acne or other issues. How they work is by acting on and inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme, which is what creates melanin in the skin. As a result, the dark spot can start to get lighter in color. Some dark spot removers increase the rate for skin cell renewal, so the body sheds more dead skin and damaged dark cells are replaced with fresh new ones.What We Love: The Fenty Dark Spot Serum softened acne scars by healing damaged skin and plumping it with hydrating, skin-strengthening ingredients like Barbados cherry. The formula achieved this in a couple of different ways. First, it used five percent niacinamide, a percentage studies have shown to be a much more effective amount at treating hyperpigmentation, to lighten the skin. Then, the formula combined Barbados cherry, one of the most abundant sources of ascorbic acid (aka vitamin C), with licorice root extract to vigorously brighten our skin without triggering a hint of irritation. Rice has also exhibited anti-melanogenic effects, essentially curbing melanin production to reduce the formation of dark spots and treat existing ones. Birch contains salicylic acid, an exfoliant that can encourage cell turnover. Wheat contains hydroquinone, a potent anti-pigmenting agent present in many dark spot reducing creams and available via prescription as well.
