Getting rid of hyperpigmentation is no easy feat, but dedication and the right products will help your dilemma. "Uneven skin tone can be addressed through the use of chemical exfoliants, such as topical acids and vitamin C," said Prudvi Kaka, chief scientific officer at DECIEM, which just so happens to be the company that owns The Ordinary. "Topical acids help to reveal more radiant skin beneath by loosening the top layer of the skin to slough off dull and rough skin. Vitamin C improves the appearance of dull, uneven skin tone by targeting melanin production, promoting a brighter, more even complexion" (via Byrdie).

The Ordinary has numerous vitamin C products, and the Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% is one of them. According to Deciem Chat Room, it is one of the best products for skin brightening. Hence, it can greatly reduce skin discoloration. If you're a fan of serums, then you'll love the Ascorbic Acid 8% + Alpha Arbutin 2%. The two ingredients are powerful in combatting hyperpigmentation and can also improve skin tone. Meanwhile, the Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is another serum that many people like to use for acne. Apart from keeping the face blemish-free, the product can also prevent dark spots. To achieve an even skin tone, the Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion, the Retinol 1% in Squalane, and Alpha hydroxy acids can help you in this area. As for the Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, the multitasker is another skin-brightening product that also helps improve skin texture.
