23 products
Hyperpigmentation causes patches of skin to become darker than the surrounding skin. It occurs when the skin produces excess melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. It can affect any skin type and is more likely during pregnancy, with older age, or after an injury.
What are the 3 types of hyperpigmentation?
Three common types of hyperpigmentation include:
Sunspots
Age spots
Liver spots
Solar lentigines
These are different names for spots that develop because of one thing—sun exposure. Sunspots are most likely to pop up on areas that are commonly exposed to the sun, such as your face and hands.
