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.
Give your skin a 7-day brightening boost with Bright Plus Fresh Ampoule, a powerful treatment highly concentrated in Vitamin C. This fast-absorbing, intensive serum is infused with 15% Vitamin C, Organic Acerola Seed, and Rose Myrtle, working to brighten, even out skin tone, and reduce dullness.

Why UV protection is important for the face
Ultraviolet rays (UV) emitted from the sun can damage your unprotected skin, triggering hyperpigmentation and premature ageing. Regardless of your age, sun protection is your best bet to prevent UV rays from harming your skin cells. If you haven’t been consistent with face sunblock, never too late to start.
What UV rays will do to the skin
UV rays should not be taken lightly. They trigger hyperpigmentation, resulting in dark spots and freckles. Wrinkles, fine lines and dehydrated skin are also the unfortunate effects of sun damage without UV protection skincare. UV rays can cause sagging skin on the face and neck as well.
Understanding UVA, UVB, SPF, PA
The common abbreviations associated with sun protection are UVA, UVB, SPF
and PA. UVA rays are long-wave light rays that are often known as the "suns's silent killers" because they can still cause severe damage even on a cloudy day. Although they aren't painful, they penetrate deep into the skin to stir
trouble, and are the leading cause of skin cancer. They can also penetrate through glass, while UVB rays cannot.
On the other hand, UVB rays are more prevalent in sunny climates and can trigger sunburn. While they
have a smaller range than UVA, UVB rays are equally destructive and can also cause skin cancer. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) evaluates UVB protection, while PA shields against UVA rays.
That's why it’s
really important to use a sunblock with both UVA and UVB protection.
When and how to use sun protection skincare
If you’re looking for a non-greasy sunscreen face lotion with
SPF, try our UV Plus [5P] Anti-Pollution SPF50/PA+++ Translucent, which is also available in a pink tint for that natural rosy glow. This sunscreen is packed with UV Plus Anti-Pollution and potent plant extracts
like Succory-dock Cress and White Tea to boost your skin’s natural defense when faced with environmental stressors while combating the harmful effects of free radicals. It shields your complexion from the sun’s damaging rays,
leaving behind a transparent finish without any oiliness or stickiness. Customers love that it’s lightweight and non-comedogenic. Unlike other traditional sunscreens, this one doesn’t clog pores.
Don't forget to apply sunscreen daily even if you're indoors because UV rays can penetrate through glass. You should always use it as the
final step of your skincare routine after moisturising, before applying your make-up.
Give the bottle a quick shake before use, then squeeze a bit of the product into your palm. Rub your palms together to warm the
liquid before smoothing it over your face, starting from the centre and working outwards to the corners of your face to stimulate circulation and provide an instant radiance boost.
