Hyperpigmentation can also occur after a trauma or injury to the skin; a typical example is post-acne scarring: “You may notice some darkness or discolouration on old acne lesions. It may appear pinky-red or blue-brown – depending on your genetic pigmentation.”
Michelle’s top tip is never to pick your spots. Instead, she advises to “opt for a localised spot cream to treat your breakout such as the Ultra Clear Spot Complex; this can be used on the spot up to 3 times a day.”

Choose the Right Skincare
When treating hyperpigmentation at home, Michelle says you need to tackle the concern with a synergy of brightening skincare products.
Michelle advises upgrading your cleanser to one formulated to treat hyperpigmentation, such as the Ultra Brightening Foaming Cleanser. Next, she recommends applying a targeted treatment serum. “I’d recommend the Ultra Brightening Serum. This corrective serum has a remarkable formula developed specifically to improve the appearance of mild-excess pigmentation visibly.”
Swap your usual moisturiser for a treatment moisturiser. Michelle’s top pick is the Ultra Brightening Moisturiser Cream, “it’s a nourishing moisturiser that helps to enhance skin’s brightness, clarity and luminosity.”

Boost Results with Professional Treatments
Finally, Michelle says a synergy of home care and professional treatments is recommended to help achieve your skin goals.
“If you are concerned about dull, blotchy and uneven skin tone, I highly recommend a course of the Ultracueticals Radiance and Glow Facial Treatment,” says Michelle. “This features the Ultra Brightening Accelerator Mask with a cocktail of tried and tested ingredients to deliver a more even and smooth skin tone.”
