Can hyperpigmentation and brown spots be treated topically?
A visit to a dermatologist can determine whether the hyperpigmentation (brown spots) is located in the surface of the skin or in the deep layers. Surface (epidermal) hyperpigmentation can be treated successfully with skin lightening products found in our Lightening/Brightening category. Deep (dermal) hyperpigmentation often does not respond well to topical treatments and may require special care – see your dermatologist. It is also advisable to use a concealer with PHA to cover the pigmentation.
