Niacinamide: May help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and support the skin barrier.
Vitamin C: Can help improve the appearance of certain dark spots when used in an appropriately formulated product.
Retinoids: Some products containing retinoids can improve fine lines and photoaging over time, but they may cause irritation and require careful use. They should not be used during pregnancy unless a healthcare professional specifically advises otherwise.
The right choice depends on your skin type, sensitivities, and skincare goals.
Step 6: Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage
Sun protection is one of the most important steps for preventing premature skin aging and helping dark spots fade.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
Apply it as directed and reapply when necessary.
Wear a hat and seek shade during strong sunlight.
Avoid tanning beds and intentional tanning.
Without adequate sun protection, dark spots may persist or return even when other skincare products are used.
