Brown Spots & Sun Damage

Brown spots and sun damage are among the most common and visible signs of accumulated UV exposure appearing as flat, darkened areas of discolouration on the face, hands, décolletage, and other sun-exposed areas of the body. Caused by an overproduction of melanin in response to years of UV exposure, brown spots, also known as age spots, liver spots, or solar lentigines, are the skin's visible record of a lifetime spent in the sun. While entirely harmless, they can significantly age the appearance, create an uneven and patchy skin tone, and prove frustratingly resistant to topical skincare alone.

Get the facts

Sun damage is cumulative and irreversible without treatment. Every unprotected UV exposure contributes to the gradual accumulation of pigmentation, skin texture changes, and cellular damage that manifests as visible brown spots and uneven skin tone over time

Sun damage can create wrinkles, fine lines, roughness and hyperpigmentation.

Daily broad-spectrum SPF and covering exposed skin are essential prevention.

Brown spots are caused by an overproduction of melanin. Triggered by UV exposure, the skin produces excess melanin as a protective response, which clusters in concentrated areas to form the flat, darkened spots visible on the skin's surface
