Where to start
You can begin with one small change, such as daily sunscreen or adding a brightening serum, then slowly build up to a full routine as your budget allows.

Core routine products
Targeted dark spot support
Use the targeted corrector only on stubborn marks while the serum and creams handle overall brightening.
Support products for older marks
Consistency matters more than perfection. Most people see the first changes in four to eight weeks when they protect their skin from the sun and use brightening products regularly.
Key takeaways
- This guide is designed for African and other melanin-rich skin in South Africa dealing with dark spots, dark marks, and hyperpigmentation.
- The core routine is simple: gentle cleanse, brightening serum, moisturiser, and daily sunscreen, with a targeted corrector added only when your skin feels calm.
- See a doctor or dermatologist if marks change suddenly, become painful, itch intensely, or do not improve at all after a few months of consistent care.
