FAQ

FAQ

Q: How long does it take to see results with the NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector?

A: Results vary depending on the severity and type of pigmentation being treated. Many users report visible lightening of dark spots within 2-4 weeks of consistent twice-daily use, with optimal results typically observed after 8-12 weeks of continuous application. For stubborn hyperpigmentation, improvements may continue to develop over several months of dedicated use alongside proper sun protection.

Q: Can I use this product on my entire face, or should it only be applied to dark spots?

A: The NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector is specifically formulated as a targeted treatment designed for precise application directly onto areas of visible discolouration, dark spots, or hyperpigmentation. It should not be used as an all-over facial treatment. For comprehensive brightening across the entire complexion, our experts recommend pairing this targeted corrector with the NeoStrata Enlighten Illuminating Serum or other full-face brightening products from the Enlighten range.

Q: Will this product work on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne?

A: Yes, the NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector is effective for addressing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) resulting from previous blemishes or skin trauma. The combination of exfoliating acids and brightening agents helps fade these marks by accelerating cellular turnover and inhibiting melanin production. However, it's essential to ensure that any active breakouts have fully healed before applying the product to avoid irritation. Consistent use alongside diligent sun protection will yield the best results for fading post-acne marks.

Q: Is it normal to experience tingling when using this product?

A: Mild tingling or a slight warming sensation upon application is normal and indicates that the active acids are working. This sensation typically subsides within a few minutes as the product absorbs. However, if you experience persistent burning, significant redness, or discomfort, discontinue use immediately and consult with our skincare experts for personalised guidance. Always introduce acid-based products gradually, starting with once-daily application to allow your skin to build tolerance.

Q: Can I use other active ingredients like retinol or vitamin C alongside this dark spot corrector?

A: Whilst the Dark Spot Corrector already contains Vitamin C, you may incorporate additional actives into your routine with proper layering and timing. Our experts recommend using this targeted treatment in conjunction with the NeoStrata Enlighten regimen for synergistic brightening benefits. If introducing retinol or other potent actives, consider alternating application times (e.g., acids in the morning, retinol in the evening) to minimise potential irritation. Always monitor your skin's response and adjust usage frequency accordingly. For personalised advice on combining actives safely and effectively, speak to our skincare specialists.

NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector | Pigmentation Treatment | 20g

£32.99 £38.40

Product Overview - NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector | Targeted Pigmentation Treatment | 20g


The NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector is a professional-grade targeted treatment gel specifically formulated to address stubborn hyperpigmentation, dark spots, age spots, and sun-induced discolouration. This potent formula combines a 10% Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) exfoliating blend with powerful skin-brightening antioxidants including Kojic Acid, Pure Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), and Liquorice Root Extract to deliver visible brightening results whilst preventing future pigmentation from forming.

Developed by the dermatologists who pioneered AHA technology, this high-strength gel works through multiple mechanisms to target discolouration at its source. The unique chelating antioxidants help trap the metals that can trigger uneven skin tone, whilst the exfoliating acids gently resurface the skin to fade existing dark spots. Suitable for normal skin types experiencing hyperpigmentation, this targeted corrector is designed for precise application directly onto affected areas rather than the entire face.

Key Benefits at a Glance:

Immediate Benefits:
Long-Term Benefits:

With consistent twice-daily application, the NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector delivers progressive brightening results that become increasingly visible over time. The powerful AHA/PHA blend promotes accelerated cellular turnover, continuously revealing fresher, more evenly-toned skin layers beneath the surface. Clinical testing demonstrates that the formula's unique combination of brightening agents not only fades existing discolouration but actively works to prevent new dark spots from forming by inhibiting excess melanin production.

The gentle yet effective Polyhydroxy Acids strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier, ensuring that whilst pigmentation is being addressed, the skin remains resilient, hydrated, and protected against environmental stressors. Over weeks of use, skin appears noticeably brighter, clearer, and more luminous, with improved overall tone and texture that reflects light more evenly across the complexion.

How will it feel on my Skin?

The NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector features a lightweight, transparent gel consistency that glides smoothly onto targeted areas. Upon application, the formula feels refreshing and slightly cooling, absorbing rapidly into the skin. You may notice a temporary tacky sensation immediately after application, which dissipates as the gel fully dries down. The non-greasy, oil-free texture ensures comfortable wear throughout the day and layers seamlessly beneath moisturisers and sunscreen without pilling or affecting subsequent product application.

Who is it Suitable For?

Why choose NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector?

This clinically-proven formula represents over 40 years of skincare research from the dermatologists who pioneered Alpha Hydroxy Acid technology. The unique combination of 10% AHA/PHA exfoliating acids with multiple brightening agents delivers results-driven pigmentation correction without the use of hydroquinone. Our experts recommend this targeted treatment for those seeking professional-grade brightening with dermatologist-tested safety and efficacy.
