Start by applying your dark spot remover to clean, dry skin, usually after cleansing and before heavier creams.
If you’re using a serum, apply a few drops directly to the affected areas or all over the face if needed. For creams or gels, gently dab and spread a thin layer without rubbing too hard.
Use the product once or twice daily depending on its strength and your skin’s tolerance. Always read the instructions — some ingredients like retinoids are better used at night, while vitamin C serums work well in the morning.
Consistency is key. Dark spots won’t fade overnight, so keep at it for at least 4 to 12 weeks to see visible results. And most importantly, always apply sunscreen during the day. Without sun protection, dark spots can worsen even while you’re treating them.
