# Derma E-focused skincare routine for skin with dark spots

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/au/brands/derma-e/skincare-routine/for/dark-spots

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Australia.

A routine for skin with dark spots built around Derma E products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers, toners, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/serum), and moisturizers with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/niacinamide) help fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Sunscreen steps with [vitamin C](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/ingredients/vitamin-c) and ascorbic acid protect against sun spots and further hyperpigmentation.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while the skin rests and is away from the sun. This weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps to help manage hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.

[The British Journal of Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12100180/) [Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24993939/) [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34525885/)

Products are rated for the concerns frequently associated with dark spots: hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.
