Frequently Asked Questions
What causes dark spots and hyperpigmentation?+
Dark spots form when melanin overproduces in certain areas. Common triggers include UV exposure, hormonal changes (melasma), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne or injuries, and aging. Sun protection is the single most important step in preventing new spots.
Which form of vitamin C is best for brightening?+
L-ascorbic acid is the most researched and effective form at 10-20% concentration. For sensitive skin, try sodium ascorbyl phosphate or ascorbyl glucoside, which are gentler but still effective. Store vitamin C in dark, cool conditions to prevent oxidation.
How long does it take for dark spots to fade?+
With consistent use of brightening ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide, most people see improvement in 6-12 weeks. Deeper pigmentation may take 3-6 months. Daily SPF is essential or the spots will darken again with sun exposure.
Can niacinamide and vitamin C be used together?+
Yes, despite an old myth, modern formulations of niacinamide and vitamin C work well together. Niacinamide at 5% and vitamin C at 10-15% can be layered in the same routine. Together they brighten, protect, and strengthen the skin barrier.
Is skin brightening the same as skin bleaching?+
No. Brightening refers to evening out skin tone, reducing dark spots, and restoring radiance using safe ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide. Bleaching uses harsh chemicals to lighten overall skin color. Ayonne products focus on safe, gentle brightening only.
