Ok, someone probably told you to get Vitamin C serum and your pigmentation would go away…… Well, they lied to you.

Pigmentation is probably the most difficult skin condition to treat. With pigmentation you may need to layer to get results, however you also need to be patient.
The combinations that work include:
Azelaic + Tranexamic Acid
Alpha Arbutin + Kojic acid
Vitamin C + Alpha Arbutin
Vitamin C + Tranexamic acid
Retinols are also major players when it comes to treating Pigmentation, but please take the precautionary notes mentioned, below, very seriously and always do a patch test:
Alpha Hydroxy Acid
+
Arbutin OR Tranexamic acid OR Retinol
You need to proceed with serious caution with AHA/Retinoid combo
Hydroquinone + Tretinoin
I would advise you get this via prescription
Niacinamide + Retinol
This combination is a personal favourite of mine.
And that’s it! Those are the Serum combinations to tackle Pigmentation.
