Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Don't get scared by the name. Simply put, it is a stabilized form of Vitamin C that can be dissolved in oil-based products. And this feature helps it penetrate the skin better than other forms of Vitamin C. You may be wondering how it helps in dark spot treatment. It prevents free radical damage that causes dark spots.

Trichloroacetic acid

Have you heard of dark spot peels that help you remove layers of the skin? Trichloroacetic acid is one such powerful substance that helps in the exfoliation of skin layers. The stronger the concentration of the peel, the more layers you will remove. But concentrations of 40%+ need in-office treatments. So look for lower concentration if you plan to try out this acne scars treatment.

Retinoids

If you are a skincare freak, you won't miss out on this magical ingredient called retinoids. From dermatologists to beauty influencers, this is a name that pops up on the list of must-use ingredients. The benefits it offers are vast ー from fewer fine lines to improved firmness. But did you know retinoids can also remove dead skin cells, increase cell turnover and promote formation of new skin cells? And this is how it helps in removing those stubborn dark spots.

PS: Retinoids are notorious for causing skin irritations. So start with lower concentrations and always do a patch test before trying it out.

Hydroquinone

The best way to get rid of those stubborn dark spots is by using skin care products with skin-lightening ingredients. One such sought-after ingredient is hydroquinone. This is powerful enough to interfere with the excess melanin production of the melanocyte (one of the main reasons for dark spots). But wait! Here's something you need to know about hydroquinone. Do not use hydroquinone if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. And this is not available without a prescription.

Tranexamic acid

Want something just like hydroquinone but safer to use while pregnant or breastfeeding? Then tranexamic acid is the best option for you. Just like hydroquinone, it interferes with excess melanin production. And the result? An even-toned skin free of acne scars or dark spots. But that's not all. You can even use it with other powerful ingredients like Vitamin C and retinoids for improved effectiveness.

Arbutin

Tired of all those chemical-based actives? Relax! We have plant-based solutions as well. Arbutin is extracted directly from the bearberry plant and works just like hydroquinone. Yes, Arbutin too slows down the excess melanin production when applied to the skin. So look for acne treatment products with this natural ingredient and save your skin from the risk of irritations and rashes.

Niacinamide

How can we describe this magical ingredient in a few words? ‘An all-rounder in the skincare regimen’. Being a powerful antioxidant, it will help you in acne scars treatment and give you a healthy radiant skin. And there's more to cheer! It's also proven to boost the skin's moisture, thus giving you supple and smooth skin. Combine it with licorice root, retinol, and arbutin for faster and better results.

Licorice root

Are you someone who loves sustainable clean natural skincare? Then, without a second thought, go for this natural ingredient. The usage of licorice root in skincare has its roots in Chinese medicine. It works by stopping excess melanin production and thus prevents dark spot formation. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, even sensitive skin can use it without fear of skin rashes or irritations.
