FAQ's

1. What causes pigmentation and how can I reduce it?
Pigmentation can be caused by sun exposure, acne scars, hormonal changes, or aging. Using skincare with ingredients like niacinamide, azelaic acid, and exfoliating acids can help fade dark spots and even out skin tone over time.

2. Which Paula’s Choice products are best for treating dark spots and uneven skin tone?
Our bestsellers for pigmentation include the 10% Niacinamide Booster, Azelaic Acid Booster, and Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. These products target discoloration, fade spots, and brighten skin with consistent use.

3. How long does it take to see results from pigmentation products?
You may begin to see visible improvements in 4–6 weeks with regular use, but deeper pigmentation may take up to 12 weeks. Consistency and sun protection are key for best results.

4. Can I use pigmentation products if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, Paula’s Choice offers gentle yet effective formulas like the Azelaic Acid Booster that are suitable for sensitive skin. Always patch test first and introduce new products slowly.

5. Do I need to use sunscreen with pigmentation treatments?
Absolutely! Sun exposure can worsen pigmentation. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher during the day to protect your skin and boost the effectiveness of your treatment.
