How to Treat Pigmentation Effectively – The Power of Kojic Acid & Niacinamide

9/6/20252 min read

Pigmentation is one of the toughest skin concerns to tackle. Whether it’s dark spots, melasma, acne scars, or sun-induced discoloration, uneven skin tone can affect your confidence. The good news? Pigmentation is treatable with the right skincare routine and active ingredients.

At CLARIV, we’ve developed the Anti-Pigmentation Face Serum, formulated with Kojic Acid + Niacinamide, two dermatologist-approved ingredients that work together to reduce dark spots and restore radiance. Let’s explore why pigmentation happens and how CLARIV helps you achieve clear, even-toned skin.

What Causes Pigmentation?

  1. Sun Exposure – UV rays trigger melanin production, leading to tanning and dark patches.

  2. Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy or hormonal imbalances often cause melasma.

  3. Post-Acne Marks – Pimples often leave behind stubborn dark spots.

  4. Aging – Over time, uneven tone and age spots develop.

  5. Lifestyle Factors – Stress, lack of sleep, and pollution can worsen skin discoloration.

Key Ingredients in CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum

1. Kojic Acid – The Spot-Fading Hero

  • Inhibits tyrosinase enzyme responsible for melanin production.

  • Gradually lightens dark patches, acne scars, and melasma.

  • Provides visible results within a few weeks of consistent use.

2. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – The Brightening Multitasker

  • Reduces hyperpigmentation and evens out skin tone.

  • Strengthens skin barrier to prevent further discoloration.

  • Minimizes inflammation, redness, and dullness.

3. Supporting Ingredients

  • Hyaluronic Acid → Hydrates and plumps the skin.

  • Antioxidants → Protect against oxidative stress from pollution & UV rays.

How to Use CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum

  2. Apply Serum → Take 2–3 drops and spread evenly across face.

  3. Moisturize → Seal in hydration with a nourishing cream.

  4. Protect → Always apply sunscreen during the day to prevent new pigmentation.

Pro Tip: Use the serum consistently for at least 6–8 weeks to see significant results.
