Dark spots (hyperpigmentation) are extra melanin left behind by acne, sun exposure, or irritation. In Bangladesh's strong sun they get darker and last longer without protection. Fading them takes the right actives plus consistent sunscreen — and patience (8–12+ weeks).
What fades dark spots
- Sunscreen every single day — the #1 step. Without it, spots keep re-darkening. See the sunscreen guide.
- Vitamin C — brightens and evens tone. See best vitamin C serums.
- Niacinamide and alpha arbutin — gentle, effective brighteners. See the serum guide.
- Exfoliating acids (AHA) 1–2x a week to speed cell turnover.

What to avoid
- Mercury / steroid "fairness" creams — they may lighten fast but are dangerous and banned, and cause rebound darkening. See why to avoid mercury creams.
- Picking at spots or skipping sunscreen.
- Expecting overnight results — real fading takes weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Which serum helps fade dark spots on oily skin?
A lightweight, water-based niacinamide or vitamin C serum tends to work well without adding extra shine. Avoid heavier, oil-based serums if your skin is already oily.
Why do dark spots get darker faster in Bangladesh's sun?
Strong UV exposure triggers more melanin production, so spots left unprotected can darken and take longer to fade. This is why daily sunscreen is a non-negotiable part of any dark-spot routine here.
Where can I buy an original niacinamide or vitamin C serum in Bangladesh?
Buy from a seller who can show the importer's invoice and batch number for the product. This matters for actives like these, since a diluted or fake version simply won't work as expected.
