Best moisturizers and moisturizing serums for skin with dark spots

What makes a good moisturizer for skin with dark spots

Moisturizers with niacinamide, alpha-arbutin, and vitamin C help brighten uneven skin tone and fade dark spots. Other hydrating steps with hyaluronic acid and glycerin lock in moisture to keep your skin soft and smooth.
