Whether you’re struggling with sunspots, hyperpigmentation or melasma, dealing with pigmentation issues on the skin is no fun. And let’s face it, no one actually wants to have to wear loads of make-up to cover-up. So when a slew of new products that promises to help reduce dark marks launched this year, we were over the moon.
Here are a few of our beauty editor’s favourite items to try…
Eucerin Even Pigment Perfector
A range made up of four products that all contain a new hero ingredient clinically proven to reduce the production of melanin in the skin, Thiamadol. Eucerin Even Pigment Perfector Day Cream SPF 30, R449,95 for 30ml.

It’s packed with pigmentation blitzing alpha hydroxy acid, plus exfoliating cellulose micro-beads that really do work to lift dark spots.
