Struggling with uneven skin tone and dark spots?
The quest for a flawless, radiant complexion isn’t impossible, but dark spots pose a real challenge. Dark spots are the reason for uneven skin tone, which causes your skin to appear patchy or aged. Foundation and concealer are only temporary solutions to the underlying issue.
Causes of dark spots
Dark spots are typically caused by acne scars and harsh UV rays, often from unprotected sun exposure. Sun damage results in hyperpigmentation, in which your skin develops dark spots or patches that can only be removed with laser treatments or skin brightening products.
Ingredients Clarins use to fight dark spots
When it comes to reducing dark spots on your face, you should look into a brightening skincare routine that nourishes the skin. Clarins uses plant-based skin brightening ingredients such as Rose-myrtle and Acerola Cherry extracts.
At Clarins, we believe that when your skin breathes better, it looks brighter. Rose-myrtle stimulates skin oxygenation by helping your cells to consume more oxygen, leading to a radiant complexion. Its double oxygenating power enhances your skin’s ability to regain its radiance and luminosity. Apart from Rose-myrtle, Acerola Cherry is another powerful brightening ingredient packed with Vitamin C that visibly revives your complexion and diminishes dark spots.
How to fix dark spot skin concerns
Exfoliating regularly with a facial scrub helps remove the buildup of dirt and dead skin cells, so your skin is constantly clean and healthy. This prevents breakouts and acne, and also improves the appearance of dark spots.
Next, you should use a brightening toner like the Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Treatment Essence to refresh and comfort the skin after cleansing. The Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Milky Essence is a milky toner packed with Acerola Cherry extracts to hydrate and soften your skin, while also illuminating your complexion.
It’s important to keep your skin hydrated at all times. When your skin is dehydrated, it produces more oil to make up for the lack of hydration. Too much oil production may lead to acne formation, which leave behind stubborn dark spots in their wake.
The Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Moisturizing Emulsion is a lightweight brightening moisturiser that comforts and nourishes the skin, leaving your complexion velvet-smooth and radiant.
You should also buy a skin brightening serum, as serums can deliver active ingredients deep into the skin to treat specific concerns. In the case of dark spots and uneven skin tone, our Bright Plus [Advanced] Serum is an effective dark spot treatment serum that combats pigmentation and uneven skin for a brighter, more even complexion.
Its advanced formula is powered by Evenness Boosting Technology, enriched with Acerola fruit extract, Vitamin C, and niacinamide which are well-known for their proven ability to promote brightening and radiance. This fast-absorbing serum also hydrates and soothes even the most sensitive skin. Many users have praised this serum for improving their skin tone and brightening their complexion within a month. Experience the powerful of duo with the Bright Plus [Advanced] Serum-in-Lotion for enhanced brightening results, apply it before the dark spot targeting serum.

1. What causes dark spots on face and uneven skin tone?
As we age naturally, our skin can often start to develop dark spots or brown marks, which usually appear on the face, décolleté, shoulders and the backs of the hands but can appear all over the body. However, not all dark spots are related to ageing alone. A dark spot on skin can also be caused by various environmental factors such as sun damage, hormonal changes including stress, inflammation of the skin, and dehydration.
Skin tone can be affected by insufficient sleep, ageing, high stress, poor diet, and inadequate toxin elimination. These factors contribute to oxidative stress, which impacts caveolae, the structures responsible for distributing melanin. When caveolae are damaged, melanin distribution becomes uneven, leading to dull, less radiant skin.
2. How do I improve the appearance of uneven complexion and brighten dull skin?
Taking the time to ensure you are getting enough sleep, limiting your sun exposure, eating a balanced diet and learning how to manage stress can be beneficial in reducing and preventing the apprearance of dark spots. Consistently implementing an effective brightening skincare daily routine will also help. The Clarins Bright Plus [Advanced] brightening skin serum features 3 organic extracts* and new Skin Evenness Technology to restore levels of caveolae within the skin. Purple tea extract restores skin evenness, acerola extract targets yellowness, niacinamide counteracts dullness, and a Vitamin C derivative reduces the appearance of dark spots, for bright and even skin that glows with radiance all year round.
3. Which skin type is suitable for using Clarins Bright Plus [Advanced] serum?
This Clarins advanced brightening serum is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive skin.
Its new generation is powered by a cocktail of plant extracts to provide gentle, yet efficient brightening effects. Its highly natural formula is composed of at least 91% ingredients of natural-origin (95% for the Bright+ serum-in-lotion) making it perfect for those with sensitive skin.
4. What is the key difference between Bright Plus [Advanced] serum and serum-in-lotion?
Bright Plus [Advanced] Serum is a skin brightening treatment with a lightweight milky texture that helps to improve radiance for dull skin, reduces dark spots and yellowness. Whereas Bright Plus [Advanced' Serum-in-lotion helps with cell renewal*, refines skin texture and brings clarity to skin complexion in a slightly gelified, transforming texture. Together, the duo brings enhanced brightening results* through the improvement of skin quality and a more even skin tone.
5. How do I use Bright+ serum for the best results?
Clarins Bright Plus collection is designed as a complete skincare routine to brighten the complexion of skin. For intense correction of dark spots and to maximise the effectiveness of your daily routine, apply Clarins Bright Plus [Advanced] Serum-in-Lotion as your first step after cleansing. Follow with C morning and night before applying emulsion. For an additional boost of radiance, use Clarins Bright Plus Ampoule for a 7-day intensive radiance-restoring treatment. As sun damage is linked to the appearance of dark spots, we also highly recommend using UV+ sunscreen to prevent the appearance of future dark spots caused by sun exposure.
