# Abib-focused skincare routine for skin with dark spots

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/brands/abib/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 Canada.

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

Cleansers, [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum), masks, and toners with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/niacinamide) help fade hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone. Exfoliating steps and cleansing toners with glycolic, lactic, and [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/salicylic-acid) target dark spots.

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 it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps to target hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.

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