Dark spots, dark patches, dark marks and other types of hyperpigmentation on the skin is something that everyone at one time or another has. However, removing these dark spots from the skin can be more difficult for darker skin tones. What may work to remove dark spots for a lighter tone may not and most of the time does not work for black skin or darker skin tones.

The same formula that you'd use for dark spots on darker skin tones is the same that you would use to lighten dark patches, sun damage, melasma (chloasma), etc. For black skin or darker skin tones, a more concentrated formula is required and more exfoliants may be required for effective lightening but a dedicated skin care regimen is also very important for lightening areas of hyperpigmentation and even more so for darker complexions.
Hyperpigmentation Removal Regimen
The first step of any good skin care regimen is to use a good quality cleanser and to exfoliate. These two things make sure that the skin is clean and the pores are unclogged and open so that it is at its best and the skin care products that are applied to it work well.
After cleansing and exfoliating, applying a good skin lightening cream is the next step to lightening hyperpigmentation. Normally it will be applied twice daily for the best and fastest results. It is important to apply evenly on the face and use as directed as well.

The last step is to use a good sunscreen daily. Since some sunblocks can use a white caste on the black or darker skin tones, using a tinted brightening sunscreen is a good option. A tinted sunscreen can be used and blends in with all skin tones, protects the skin well, and is good for use daily and can be used with or without makeup and even when not actively lightening hyperpigmentation.
