SOOOO WHICH IS BETTER? LET'S BREAK IT DOWN SHALL WE?
Dark spots. Hyperpigmentation. Acne scars. If you’ve ever searched for solutions, you’ve probably seen turmeric and kojic acid mentioned over and over again. But which one actually works better and do you really have to choose?
Let’s break it down in a simple, honest way so you can make the best decision for your skin.
WHAT CAUSES DARK SPOTS IN THE FIRST PLACE?❓❓
Before choosing ingredients, it’s important to understand why dark spots form.
Dark spots are caused by excess melanin production, often triggered by:
- acne and breakouts
- sun exposure
- inflammation
- hormonal changes
- skin injuries or irritation
The key to fading dark spots is using ingredients that either reduce melanin production, calm inflammation, or gently exfoliate damaged skin; ideally all three.
