@skinchemistrywithdee: I've struggled with pigmentation my whole life. I used to cover it with layers of foundation, and now I go makeup-free. Getting there was less about what I added and more about what I stopped doing. Most of this list comes down to one thing. On my skin, irritation means more pigment. So anything that inflames, overheats or over-exfoliates my face is out. That's why I don't use tretinoin or 15% vitamin C. I went through two full bottles of a 15% L-ascorbic acid before I admitted it was irritating my skin. Glycolic acid is the same story. I tried it, and my skin did not thank me. Facials are a hard no. If the facial lady comes near me with the extraction tool and the steam, she's gonna get it. And the last one is the one I wish someone had told me years ago. Dark spots you've had for decades aren't going anywhere in 2 weeks. Pick a routine you can stick to and give it time. Which one surprised you? Or tell me your own never. #hyperpigmentation #darkspots #brownskin #skincareover40
Disagree but whatever works for you is cool. Tretinoin works. As does vit C microneedling and supplements never replace the vit D from sun. 🙏✨❤️

Some facials are good for hyperpigmentation , also glycolic acid is great with the right formula and used correctly ☺️coming from medical aesthetician / nursing student

Hyperpigmentation can also be a sign of estrogen dominance as well

I’m gonna do my saunas that is one great amazing way to detox the skin and body. Vitamin D from the sun is way better and different than taking a pill. Just moderation is key
