    Pigmentation serums are targeted treatments for dark spots, uneven skin tone and marks left behind after breakouts. This range includes brightening serums built around niacinamide, vitamin C, alpha arbutin and AHAs, from brands such as The Ordinary, Alpha-H, Medik8, Skinstitut, Medicube and COSRX. Hyperpigmentation happens when skin makes more melanin in some areas than others, and sun exposure, hormones and inflammation can all play a part. If you want to look beyond serums, browse our pigmentation correction range.


    Pigmentation Serum Ingredients to Look For

    Different serums take different approaches, so it helps to know what is in the formula. Niacinamide serums, such as the Alpha-H Vitamin B Serum with 5% Niacinamide, are one option, and the Skinstitut 10% Niacinamide Power Serum and COSRX The Niacinamide 15 Serum are others. Vitamin C and antioxidant serums include the Alpha-H Vitamin C Serum with 10% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. For alpha arbutin, look at The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA Serum or the Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum with rice and alpha-arbutin, and the Medicube TXA Niacinamide 15 Serum is another to compare.


    How to Use a Pigmentation Serum

    Follow the directions on the pack, introduce one new active at a time, and patch test first. Strong acids and some other actives can irritate, so if your skin reacts easily, start with a gentler formula and browse skincare for sensitive skin.


    Sun protection matters as much as the serum. DermNet NZ notes that sun exposure promotes melanin production, and it lists broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen among the general measures for melasma. Pair your serum with a facial sunscreen every morning and reapply as directed on the pack.


    Getting Advice About Pigmentation

    Pigmentation can have different causes, and melasma in particular can be slow to respond to treatment. DermNet NZ says it usually needs a combination of measures, and that the most successful topical treatment reported uses prescription ingredients. Skincare can support a routine but is not a substitute for medical advice. If a mark is new, changing or worrying you, or your pigmentation is not improving, speak with your doctor or dermatologist.


    Frequently Asked Questions About Pigmentation Serums

    How long do pigmentation serums take to work?

    Results vary from person to person, and pigmentation tends to fade slowly. DermNet NZ notes that melasma is slow to respond to treatment and that pigmentation can reappear with summer sun exposure. Use your serum as directed, wear sunscreen daily, and speak with your doctor or dermatologist if you see no improvement.

    Can I use a pigmentation serum on sensitive skin?

    It depends on the ingredients and on your skin. Patch test before using a new serum, introduce it gradually and follow the directions on the pack. If your skin becomes irritated, stop using it and speak with your pharmacist or doctor.

    Do I need sunscreen with a pigmentation serum?

    Daily sun protection is an important part of managing pigmentation. DermNet NZ notes that ultraviolet and visible light promote melanin production, and it lists broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen as a general measure for melasma. Apply sunscreen every morning and reapply as directed.

    Really good delivery

    | 4 hours ago

    I bought this to tide me over until I could replace my usual, more expensive vitamin C serum, and I was genuinely impressed! My skin felt so hydrated that I didn't even need to apply moisturiser afterwards. I could go straight to primer and makeup, and everything sat beautifully. Such a great find.

    Highly concentrated

    | 4 hours ago

    I received a sample of this serum with my other Skinceuticals order. As I usually don't use ferulic/vitamin c serums on my skin, after the first use it felt heavy on my skin. But skin definitely became more glowy. I will give this serum another try in the future but probably I should start with less concentrated option to get my skin gradually get used to those ingredients. One thing that I didn'tlike about it was the smell, it smelled like bacon or something like that.

    High strength

    | 8 hours ago

    An excellent high strength vitamin c serum which is great for reducing pigmentation. I recommend using this every 3 days if you're new to vitamin c just to start off. I personally had no issue with using it regularly but it's strong and of high quality. Highly recommend. You only need a very small amount as well. Absorbs into the skin well.
