Acne isn’t the only skin affliction that’ll most likely have you instantly reaching for foundation, dark spots can also give the appearance of an uneven skin tone. Hyperpigmentation causes range from age spots, sun spots to post-breakout discoloration, whatever the cause, it still leaves behind a noticeable spot that you can’t help but want to cover with concealer.

Makeup isn’t the only solution to evening out your skin tone, investing in the right skincare ingredients can help rid your skin of pesky hyperpigmentation — and in less time. The American Academy of Dermatology Association states that prescription-free ingredients that are proven to help reduce the appearance of dark spots include, azelaic acid, glycolic acid, kojic acid, retinoid and vitamin C — and Topicals has a popular serum that includes two of the listed ingredients.

The skincare brand has become a favorite among artists including Teyana Taylor who dropped her own collection of favorites and Flo Milli who was the face of the brand’s Faded Bar. Topical’s dark spot serum has been a favorite among reviewers who praise how the formula “dramatically” fades hyperpigmentation, resulting a more even skin tone. Its popularity has not diminished since its release with 2,000 shoppers on Amazon purchasing the skincare product this month.

You may notice a sulfur smell while using the serum, according to the brand. For the best results, it’s suggested that you start by applying the product once a week and work your way up to daily use depending on how your skin reacts. Be sure to apply sunscreen and moisturizer everyday after the serum absorbs into your skin as it may become more sensitive to UV rays while using.
