Do I need sunscreen on a cloudy day?

Yes. Much of the ultraviolet light that triggers pigment production passes through cloud.

How long does a brightening product take to work?

Pigment fades as the skin renews itself, and that takes weeks. If someone promises a result in days, that promise is not real.

Do post-acne marks count as pigmentation?

The brown discolouration left after a spot heals does. Redness or an indentation is something different and takes a different route.

Pigmentation and dark spots

A dark spot appears where skin produces extra pigment in one area — after sun exposure, after a spot has healed, or following hormonal change.

The single most important thing about pigmentation: without sunscreen, no brightening product gives a lasting result. Sunlight is what triggers pigment production, so whatever you lighten comes back.

A sensible order: sunscreen every day, including cloudy days and indoors near a window. Then a brightening product. Then patience — pigment fades in layers, not overnight.

Spots with an irregular shape, that grow quickly or change colour should always be seen by a doctor.
