Top Dermat-Approved Pigmentation Routine

Pigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns in India — from dark spots and acne marks to stubborn melasma and uneven skin tone.
Dermatologists agree on one thing: pigmentation cannot be treated with just one product.
It needs a consistent, layered routine with the right actives + daily sun protection.

The good news?
With the right steps and the right formulations, you can fade pigmentation much faster and prevent it from coming back.

Here is a dermatologist-approved pigmentation routine using CLARIV products that fit perfectly into each step.

⭐ Why Pigmentation Is So Hard to Treat

Pigmentation happens when the skin overproduces melanin. This occurs due to:

• Sun exposure

• Acne inflammation

• Hormonal changes

• Heat exposure

• Lifestyle stress

This means your routine must include:

• Brightening actives

• Melanin-controlling ingredients

• Skin barrier repair

• Daily UVA protection

CLARIV’s formulations contain the exact actives dermatologists recommend for these concerns.

⭐ Derma-Approved Pigmentation Routine Using CLARIV

1️⃣ AM Routine (Morning)

This routine prevents pigmentation from getting worse and brightens the skin gradually.

➡ Step 1: Gentle Cleanser

Start with a mild, non-stripping cleanser to keep the skin barrier calm.
Avoid harsh foaming cleansers in pigmentation routines.

➡ Step 2: CLARIV Vitamin C Serum (Antioxidant + Brightening)

Dermatologists always include Vitamin C in pigmentation routines because it:

• Fades dark spots

• Brightens dull skin

• Protects against UV damage

• Boosts even tone

CLARIV Vitamin C Serum contains 10% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Ferulic Acid, Vitamin E, and Hyaluronic Acid, making it suitable for daily morning use and gentle on Indian skin.

➡ Step 3: Moisturizer

Keeps the skin barrier strong, which is essential when using active ingredients.

➡ Step 4: CLARIV Sunscreen (Most Important Step)

Dermatologists insist that no pigmentation routine works without sunscreen — especially in India.

Daily sunscreen prevents:

• Tanning

• UV-triggered pigmentation

• Dark spots darkening

• Melasma from worsening

• Breakdown of Vitamin C

A lightweight sunscreen like CLARIV’s gives broad-spectrum protection and makes the routine easy to maintain every day.

⭐ 2️⃣ PM Routine (Night)

This routine focuses on treating existing pigmentation and repairing the skin.

➡ Step 1: Cleanser

Remove dirt, sweat, and sunscreen.

➡ Step 2: CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum (The Treatment Step)

This is the core derma-approved weapon against pigmentation.

CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum is formulated with four dermatologist-loved actives:
✔ 2% Kojic Acid
✔ 2% Alpha Arbutin
✔ 3% Tranexamic Acid
✔ 5% Niacinamide

This powerful combination helps:

• Fade pigmentation

• Lighten dark spots

• Reduce acne marks

• Improve uneven skin tone

• Control melanin production

• Smooth and brighten the skin

This is the step that actually treats the pigmentation.

➡ Step 3: Moisturizer

Seals in the actives, repairs the skin, and reduces any dryness or irritation.

⭐ Optional Dermatologist Tips for Faster Results

Dermatologists also recommend:

✔ Stay consistent for 6–8 weeks

Pigmentation takes time to fade.

✔ Use sunscreen indoors too

UVA penetrates windows.

✔ Avoid picking acne

It worsens pigmentation.

✔ Use a hydrating toner/serum if your skin feels dry

A hydrated barrier responds better to actives.

✔ Reduce heat exposure

Heat can trigger melasma and darkening.

⭐ Why This CLARIV Routine Works

🌙 Night: Treat pigmentation

Using a powerful formula like CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum targets melanin at multiple levels.

🌞 Morning: Protect the results

Vitamin C boosts glow, while sunscreen prevents pigmentation from coming back.

Both together:

✔ Fade dark spots
✔ Prevent new ones
✔ Boost glow
✔ Improve texture
✔ Brighten overall skin tone

This routine follows the same logic dermatologists use in clinics — treat + protect.

⭐ Final Derma Verdict

Pigmentation can be stubborn, but with the right active ingredients and daily sun protection, you can achieve visible results.

A consistent routine using:
✔ CLARIV Vitamin C Serum (AM)
✔ CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum (PM)
✔ CLARIV Sunscreen (AM)

creates one of the most effective, dermatologist-style pigmentation routines for Indian skin.
