Brighten Dark Spots in 3 Steps

Dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and post-acne marks are common skin concerns in the Maldives due to sun exposure and humidity. With the right routine and ingredients, you can achieve a more even, radiant complexion. Here’s how to brighten dark spots in 3 simple steps using ISM Cosmetics’ top products.

Step 1: Cleanse Gently

A clean canvas helps treatments work effectively. Use a gentle cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin.

Recommended Products:

  • Acne Control Cleanser for Face with 2% Salicylic Acid – CeraVe (237ml)

  • Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam – Anua (150ml)

Tip: Cleansing twice daily—morning and evening—keeps your skin clear and preps it for treatment serums.

Step 2: Treat Dark Spots

Use serums with targeted ingredients like niacinamide and tranexamic acid to fade hyperpigmentation and even skin tone.

Recommended Products:

  • Niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% Dark Spot Correcting Serum – Anua (30ml)

  • The Niacinamide 15 Serum for Acne Control and Brightening – COSRX (20ml)

Tip: Apply a few drops on affected areas, gently patting until fully absorbed. Consistency is key—results may appear over 4–6 weeks.

Step 3: Hydrate & Protect

Hydration is essential to support skin repair, while sun protection prevents new dark spots from forming.

Recommended Products:

  • Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence – COSRX (100ml)

  • The True Cream Aqua Bomb Hydrating Moisturizer – Belif

Tip: Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to prevent UV-induced pigmentation.

Extra Tips for Brighter Skin

  • Exfoliate 1–2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and enhance serum absorption.

  • Avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate skin and worsen pigmentation.

  • Maintain a consistent routine; patience is key when treating dark spots.
