Episode 26: Spot Treatments & Serums for Melanin Skin
In this quick but powerful bonus episode, I’m diving into one of the most requested topics—how to properly use serums and spot treatments on melanin-rich skin.
We’re breaking down the difference between the two, how to use them without triggering irritation or uneven tone, and what ingredients are actually safe and effective for correcting dark marks, post-acne scars, and more.
🔑 What You’ll Learn:
What makes a serum different from a spot treatment
Which ingredients target hyperpigmentation without bleaching
My favorite gentle actives for melanin skin
How to layer your products without causing irritation
Spot treatment mistakes I see way too often
✨ Ingredient Spotlights:
Niacinamide – calms inflammation & fades dark spots
Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid or THD Ascorbate) – brightens skin tone
Azelaic Acid – fights acne and reduces post-inflammatory marks
Tranexamic Acid – great for stubborn pigmentation
Licorice Root Extract – gentle brightening agent
Sulfur – targets active acne
Salicylic Acid – decongests pores and helps with oil control
