Shop Antioxidant, Brightening and Vitamin C Serums
One of the most common skin care complaints is pigmentation, especially for mature and aging skin. Pigmentation can appear in many forms from brown, age spots to redness and sallow skin.
If you’re wondering how to get rid of pigmentation, one of the best ways to tackle pigmentation is to use targeted treatments with high concentrations of active ingredients.
While your daily moisturiser and cleanser can help to slowly fade pigmentation and retain hydration, using high potency serums are the best ways to deliver fast and dramatic results to your complexion.
Our best brightening serums will help to minimise the appearance of pigmentation and balance your skin tone for a more even colouring.
Brightening serums are also often packed full of antioxidants. This is because pigmentation is mainly caused by external aggressors such as free radical and sun damage so the best way to prevent pigmentation from forming in the first place is to protect your skin with antioxidants.
