Here are a few ingredients with better evidence for specific skin concerns:
-
Aloe vera: Can soothe some skin irritation, but evidence that it removes dark spots is limited.
-
Niacinamide: A skincare ingredient that may help improve uneven skin tone and the appearance of dark spots.
-
Azelaic acid: Can help with acne and post-acne discoloration.
-
Vitamin C: May help gradually improve some forms of pigmentation.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily to help prevent dark spots from getting darker.
