An anti-dark spot serum is a cosmetic product specifically designed to help improve hyperpigmentation and even skin tone. Thanks to Nanotech, the active ingredients can penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis, helping to reduce dark spots and prevent the appearance of new ones. Unlike creams, serums have a light texture that allows rapid absorption.
Difference between serum and anti-spot cream
The main difference between serums and creams lies in their texture: serums, which are light and fluid, are rapidly absorbed and concentrate active ingredients that penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, while creams, with a denser texture, are designed to moisturise, nourish and form a protective barrier on the surface.
For best results, the ideal is to combine both products: use the serum as an intensive treatment and the cream as a moisturising and protective complement.
Ingredients that an anti-spot serum should contain
Functionality of azelaic acid
Azelaic acid, the main active ingredient in our AZELAC RU depigmenting line, is a multifunctional ingredient that stands out for its ability to combat acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation thanks to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and depigmenting action. It regulates cell renewal, unclogs pores and reduces melanin production, helping to reduce dark spots and irregularities.

Can the serum eliminate dark spots?
Anti-spot serums are highly effective in reducing the appearance of dark spots, but their success depends on the type of spot and consistency of use. Recent or superficial spots usually improve their appearance with a suitable serum.
For deeper or persistent spots, it may be necessary to combine them with other dermatological treatments, such as chemical peels or lasers.
What is the best serum for spots on the face?
The best anti-spot serum will depend on the specific needs of your skin. For example, AZELAC RU Serum is a recommended option to combat all types of spots. Its formula includes azelaic acid, a depigmenting active ingredient encapsulated in liposomes that ensure better penetration into the skin.
In addition, AZELAC RU includes vitamin C to provide luminosity and retinol, ideal in cases where a deeper cell renewal is sought.
When to use your anti-spot serum and in which order to apply it
For best results, the anti-spot serum should be applied twice a day, in the morning and at night. The correct order is as follows:
-
- Cleansing: wash your face with a mild cleanser to remove impurities and prepare the skin.
- Serum: spread a few drops of the anti-spot serum on a cleansed face, massaging gently until completely absorbed.
- Moisturizing cream: moisturise your skin with a cream suitable for your skin type.
- Sunscreen: during the day, it is essential to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to prevent spots from worsening.
The key to effective treatment is consistency and combining the serum with other products suitable for your daily routine.
