Which serums work best for melasma and dark spots?

Melasma and dark spots can be persistent — and not all serums are created equal. Look for clinically backed ingredients that brighten without irritating sensitive skin.

Top ingredients to look for:

· 🌞 Vitamin C — brightens and protects

· 🌿 Niacinamide — evens skin tone and reduces pigmentation

· 🌙 Retinol — boosts cell turnover to fade spots

· ✨ Ferulic acid and licorice root — antioxidant support

Dr. Dermaluci Lab combines these actives in targeted, organic serums like:

· Vitamin C Bio Serum (with ferulic acid + centella)

· Retinol Puro Serum (pure 0.1% with HA)

· Niacinamide + Zinc + Prebiotics Serum (supports clarity)

Use consistently and always apply SPF in the morning — it’s essential for preventing new pigmentation.
