A question I get asked a lot at the moment is "Will this get rid of my natural freckles?" The short answer is no. But the longer answer is worth knowing, because a lot of what people call freckles actually isn't.
Freckles are genetic. They're tiny, flat, harmless, and usually show up in childhood, especially on fairer skin. They darken in summer and lighten in winter. They're part of your skin, so no supplement is going to remove them (and honestly, I wouldn't want it to).
Hyperpigmentation is different. It comes from damage or disruption, like acne, hormones, inflammation or sun damage. Your skin makes extra melanin while it heals, and that leaves dark spots or patches behind.
Here's how to tell which one you're looking at:
Freckles: small, showed up when you were young, fade in winter, run in your family
Sunspots: bigger, showed up in your 30s or later, stay the same colour all year
Melasma: larger patches on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip, often linked to hormones
Acne marks: flat dark spots sitting exactly where a breakout used to be
If you love your freckles, keep them. But if you've got spots that don't fade in winter, or patches that showed up after a pregnancy or a bad breakout, that's hyperpigmentation. And YES, that's where I can help.
My top suggestion is the Hyper Renew Kit. It pairs the Hyperpigmentation Cleanse Capsules with the Anti-Aging Collagen Complex, and together they work from the inside out to:
Help calm the inflammation that keeps triggering extra pigment, with licorice root and white tea
Support healthy melanin balance so marks from acne, sun, or hormones can fade
Support skin renewal with hydrolyzed collagen and amla, so pigmented cells shed and fresher skin comes through
Give your skin antioxidant support against sun damage with polypodium and pomegranate
The result? Your freckles will keep coming and going with the seasons like they always have. The spots and patches left by sun, hormones or old breakouts are the ones that can visibly fade, leaving your skin brighter and more even.
Talk soon,
