If you struggle with dark spots and hyperpigmentation, you know very well that they can be hard to get rid of. There are plenty of products that are designed to brighten them and help reveal an even complexion, but those often fall short because they don’t feature the right ingredients.

Get Rid Of Dark Spots

When looking for a good dark spot serum, dermatologists say that it’s important that they include antioxidants like vitamins C and E as they help reduce damage from free radicals and other environmental stressors. “These neutralize free radicals from causing oxidative damage to the skin and block enzymatic processes that make more pigment in the skin,” Melissa K. Levin, M.D., a board-certified New York City dermatologist and clinical attending at New York University Langone Health and Mount Sinai Hospital, tells Women’s Health Magazine.

In addition to using an effective serum, Elizabeth Tanzi, M.D., founder and director of Capital Laser & Skin Care and associate clinical professor of dermatology at the George Washington University Medical Center, says that you also have to be smart about your sun exposure, too! “If you have good sun habits, you’ll get fewer dark spots than if you don’t,” she explains.

Farsáli Volcanic Elixir ($39)

 

So, which serum is the best? It looks like Farsáli's Volcanic Elixir has all of the other brands and formula beat. This hydrating overnight treatment oil is designed to nourish and condition the skin while you sleep, allowing you to wake up with hydrated, even and brighter skin. It's rich in antioxidants and helps condition damaged skin while also improving the overall complexion of the skin--it's even amazing for those with acne-prone skin, too!

What people are saying about: 

 

"Really helped destroy breakouts before they even started. I’m a dude, a dudes dude, I like PBR and spitting. Now I like this stuff too." - Sephora reviewer kyliedavidzeller 

 

"Along with providing ample moisture, the antioxidants fade acne scars and even out your skin tone. That's because it contains a rare lipid called calophyllolide that's a powerful anti-inflammatory. Since the consistency is rather thick, a little goes a long way: if you don't use too much, the bottle will last you a while, which justifies the almost $40 price tag. Plus, it works to fade stretch marks and body scars, too." - Alania Demopoulos from POPSUGAR.

 

"I bought this after trying the gold elixir and this is my new favorite. I use it to prevent and treat breakouts and no joke this can make any blemish disappear overnight." - Sephora reviewer sophiadimart
