Dark spots and uneven skin tone

Uneven skin tone is a term for skin discoloration caused by sun exposure, hormones, and scarring.

Uneven skin tone can look like:

  • dark spots
  • scarring
  • freckles
  • age spots

Some people are genetically more prone to uneven skin tone. Having uneven skin tone is completely normal and in most cases, harmless.

Dark spots are flat, dark spots on the skin. It is best to consult with a doctor if the spot is changing drastically. Uneven skin tone and dark spots can be reduced.

It is important to use safe skin-brightening ingredients. Many ingredients, especially unregulated or unstudied ones, may cause harm.
