Why Dark Spots and Acne Marks Refuse to Fade
Dark spots, acne marks and uneven patches happen when your skin creates excess melanin in response to inflammation, sun exposure or hormones.This triggers a constant cycle called melanin overproduction, where your skin keeps producing pigment even after the breakout or irritation is gone.
Here is the real reason most spots stay for months:
- The pigment sits deeper than regular serums can reach
- Inflammation keeps the melanin switch turned on
- Harsh acids and unstable Vitamin C often make it worse
- Darker skin tones are more prone to stubborn PIH
- Hormonal pigment keeps resurfacing even after it fades
This is why most brightening serums barely do anything. They stay on the surface while the real problem is happening deeper in the skin.
