Hyperpigmentation: A Solution for the Appearance of Dark Spots
Although hyperpigmentation isn’t harmful, nobody enjoys seeing their face becoming peppered with dark spots. This discoloration can be attributed to a variety of causes, although accumulated sun damage is usually the main culprit.
Either way, once you start to notice hyperpigmentation forming, you’ll need to be proactive if you want to prevent those dark spots from multiplying and turning even darker. The good news is that there are a few skincare ingredients out there that are revered for how they can lighten and fade the visibility of dark spots, some of which you can find in OROGOLD skincare products.
Ready to take back control of your skin? Read on as OROGOLD shares the most effective solutions for diminishing the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
The 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum
Let’s start by talking about vitamin C – one of the most popular ingredients around for tackling the look of dark spots. The reason that it’s so loved is because not only does it help to lighten the appearance of discoloration, but studies have found that it can prevent it from occurring too. Better yet, vitamin C is also an extraordinary multi-tasker. In addition to evening out your complexion, it will also leave your skin looking brighter, firmer, and less wrinkled.
This is why a good vitamin C serum is a must for anyone looking to eradicate the visibility of dark spots. The tricky part is determining which of the many vitamin C serums out there are capable of working wonders on your skin.
There are a couple of key features to look out for. The first is the type of vitamin C that has been used. In the OROGOLD 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum, you’ll find a combination of two forms of vitamin C; tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate. Both have plenty of research behind them to back up their efficacy. A good vitamin C serum will also blend vitamin C with other antioxidants. Vitamin C is an antioxidant itself, meaning that it works best when it’s joined by other similar compounds. In our serum, vitamin C comes together with vitamins A and E, both of which are also powerful antioxidants.
The 24K Termica Activation Serum
While vitamin C may be one of the most revered skincare ingredients around, there are a few other names that are worth noting when dealing with hyperpigmented skin. Kojic acid is one, with this ingredient considered to be one of the most effective complexion-lightening compounds in the industry. It boasts antioxidant properties too and also helps to reduce the feeling of inflammation in the skin.
Licorice root extract is another ingredient to get familiar with. It contains a compound called glabridin, which, again, minimizes the look of both dark spots and inflammation. This is another ingredient with plenty of science behind it, confirming its effects.
On their own, these ingredients are great. However, when combined, as we’ve done in the OROGOLD 24K Termica Activation Serum, their results are even more impressive. This serum takes things even further by also incorporating a few other ingredients that directly target the appearance of dark spots. You’ll find vitamin C in this formula in the form of ascorbic acid while green tea extract is a source of unique antioxidants that will help to lighten and brighten the look of your skin. To keep your skin feeling calm and balanced while all of this action is occurring, this serum also contains ceramides, peptides, collagen, and sodium hyaluronate. They all keep the skin barrier feeling strengthened and supported, allowing the other active ingredients in the serum to work their magic uninhibited.
The 24K Rose Gold Age Glow Duo
If you’ve been doing some research into the best ingredients for lightening the appearance of dark spots, you’ll have likely come across niacinamide. Also referred to as vitamin B3, clinical studies have found that the ingredient is capable of reducing the visibility of hyperpigmentation after just four weeks of regular use. This is when it’s used on its own. Combine it with other complexion-brightening superstars and you should see an improvement in your skin tone even sooner.
This is where the OROGOLD 24K Rose Gold Age Glow Duo comes in. It’s a two-part skincare system, with the 24K Rose Gold Multi-Vital Liquid Powder being formulated with niacinamide. It contains resveratrol too – a powerful antioxidant that, once again, can also help with the appearance of dark spots.
When applied, the powder is combined with the second product in this duo; the 24K Rose Gold Enriching Serum. It contains vitamin C, peptides, and a number of antioxidant-rich plant extracts. These will also work toward evening out your complexion while combating the appearance of free radical damage.
The 24K Multi-Vitamin Night Nourishment + Retinol
Of course, retinol needs to be mentioned too. It’s a form of vitamin A that can help with so many visible skin concerns, including the look of discoloration.
Unlike the other ingredients we’ve discussed, most of which directly target the appearance of excess melanin in the skin, retinol woks in a slightly different way. It ensures that skin cells feel supported during the cell renewal process, which is when the older (and discolored) cells that sit on your skin’s surface are naturally shed. In this way, retinol can help to speed up the rate at which your skin naturally eliminates its dark-looking cells.
Of course, retinol is known for irritating the skin too, which you definitely don’t want. Any inflammation will only run the risk of exacerbating your dark spots. The key to getting around this is to find a retinol skincare product that combines the ingredient with others that soothe and calm the complexion.
This is where the OROGOLD 24K Multi-Vitamin Night Nourishment + Retinol really shines. While retinol is one of the main ingredients in this formula, it’s joined by several others that help to keep the appearance of irritation or other side effects to a minimum. Between shea butter, aloe vera leaf juice, green tea extract, jojoba seed oil, and vitamin E, it allows the vitamin A to work to its full potential without upsetting the skin in any way.
The 24K Skin Tone SPF 30
As we mentioned earlier, the sun tends to be responsible for the majority of the dark spots that develop on the face. While the ingredients and products that we’ve discussed above are undeniably useful at helping to even out the look of the skin, they won’t be able to have much of an effect if your skin is still continuously being damaged by UV rays.
This makes it essential to keep your skin shielded from the sun at all times. Ideally, do this with a product that also contains some of the ingredients we recommended above, just like the OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30 does.
This formula is infused with vitamin A, green tea extract, and vitamin E, all of which will help to brighten the look of your skin. It also contains gold – an ingredient that not only gives the skin a luminous glow but also boasts antioxidant properties. Even better, since it’s an SPF moisturizer, it doesn’t feel as heavy or greasy in the way that many of the other sunscreen products out there do.
The 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid
Earlier, we talked about the cell renewal process – how the skin naturally sheds its discolored skin cells over time. The faster this process occurs, the sooner your skin will be able to rid itself of dark spots.
Unfortunately, this process slows down with age, which is also when dark spots tend to appear. However, if you regularly exfoliate your skin, you’ll be able to give it the helping hand it needs. Rather than leaving it to your skin to naturally shed its older cells, you’ll be doing this for it. This then allows the newer and less damaged skin cells beneath to show through.
With that said, how you exfoliate will have a big impact on how successful your efforts are. Ideally, you need a chemical exfoliant but one that’s gentle enough to not trigger inflammation. Our top choice would be the OROGOLD 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid. Mandelic acid has a large molecular size, enabling it to exfoliate without irritating. Many of the other ingredients in this exfoliator will also be familiar to you as we’ve already recommended them a few times! Between vitamin C, vitamin A, and green tea extract, it’s a great exfoliator to use if your aim is to reduce the appearance of dark spots.
The Photonix-2 Jade Eye Wand
There’s no denying how beneficial the right topical products can be when you’re trying to even out the look of your skin. However, an LED skincare device could be a very useful addition to your toolkit too…
LED light therapy has become increasingly popular lately. This is largely down to its ability to help with a variety of visible skin concerns. Different wavelengths, or colors, of LED light target the skin in different ways, meaning that one multi-mode device could potentially be used for a range of purposes.
When it comes to dealing with the appearance of dark spots, red light therapy is what you need. However, blue light therapy can be good for lowering the feeling of inflammation in the skin, with the two working hand-in-hand together. The Photonix-2 Jade Eye Wand offers both. Not only can this device be used to fade the look of dark spots around your eyes but it will also smooth away the appearance of puffiness and crow’s feet while firming up the feel of your skin.
Tackling the Appearance of Dark Spots With OROGOLD
While it’s true that it will usually take several months for dark spots to look noticeably lighter, you should, ideally, be seeing an improvement in a matter of weeks if you’re using the right skincare products. Give some of the above formulas a try and you’ll see exactly what we mean – your skin will start to look brighter and more even in no time!
