"There are three imperative steps" to treat hyperpigmentation, says Goldfaden. "Exfoliate, treat with a lightening agent and protect with [sunscreen]."
Your Rx: Tanzi treats hyperpigmentation with "short bursts" of hydroquinone and mushroom-derived kojic acid, which lighten skin by curbing melanin production.
