A Complete Guide to Clearer, Even-Toned Skin Using Evidence-Based Skincare and The Ordinary Products
🧬 What Is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin issue where certain patches of the skin become darker than others due to excess melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye color.
Fun Fact: Melanin acts as the skin’s natural sunscreen — but when triggered in excess, it leads to unwanted dark spots.
🧪 What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
The most common causes include:
Trigger
Explanation
Sun Exposure
UV rays stimulate melanin to protect the skin, often resulting in sunspots.
Hormonal Changes
Especially during pregnancy or with birth control; known to cause melasma.
Inflammation
Post-acne or eczema flare-ups leave behind dark marks (PIH).
Medications
Certain drugs (like antibiotics or chemotherapy) can trigger pigmentation.
Genetics
Some people naturally produce more melanin.

🪞 How to Get Rid of Hyperpigmentation – Step-by-Step Guide
✅ Step 1: Wear Sunscreen Every Day
UV rays are the #1 cause of hyperpigmentation and can worsen existing spots.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily
Reapply every 2 hours if exposed to sunlight
“No treatment works without sunscreen. It’s the foundation of pigmentation control.” — Dr. Michelle Wong (Lab Muffin Beauty Science)
✅ Step 2: Use Proven Active Ingredients
You must target melanin production, cell turnover, and inflammation.
(We’ll cover this in detail below 👇)
✅ Step 3: Follow a Consistent Routine
Dark spots can take 6–12 weeks or more to fade. Be patient and consistent.
✅ Step 4: Avoid Picking Skin
Popping pimples = more inflammation = more hyperpigmentation.
✅ Step 5: Hydrate and Repair
Support your skin with moisturizers, barrier repair creams, and hydrating serums like hyaluronic acid.
