 - Also called hyperpigmentation, dark spots can occur when melanin, the natural substance that gives skin its color, is working overtime. But they can also come from sun damage, pregnancy, acne and certain medications you are taking. But don’t fret, these products, for every budget, can help fade those spots in no time.
