Pigmentation & dullness

Dark spots fade slowly, and only if they’re protected from the sun. Pair one brightening treatment with sunscreen every morning, and give it 8 to 12 weeks.

Start with the three essentials, then add the key step. Extras are optional, one at a time. Pick any products below that match.

    CleanseGentle, so your treatment doesn’t sting.
  2. 2
    MoisturiseA comfortable cream alongside your treatment.
  3. 3

What helps dark spots

Sunscreen is the step that makes the rest work. Wear it every morning, even when it’s cloudy. Have any new, changing or irregular dark spot checked by your GP.
