Skin pigmentation or hyperpigmentation can cause uneven color and dark patches. Excessive production of melanin is responsible for this condition. Hyperpigmentation can occur on almost any part of the body, including the face, neck, hands, arms and legs.
Finding the cause of excess melanin production is the key to reducing pigmentation. This is generally attributed to internal factors like hormones, genetics, medications and UV exposure. Skin inflammation from skin injury, burning, and acne is called PIH or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. You can get rid of hyperpigmentation naturally with DIY skin products and the help of some simple and easy home remedies.
AHA or BHA can help exfoliate the skin and reduce superfial pigmentation from melasma, hormonal pigmentation and post acne inflammation. Neostrata makes a good range of products.
Retinol based products contain Vitamin A. This gets converted to retinoic acid. It works both as a exfoliant, but it also slows down skin pigment production or melanin production.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid can be useful. It acts as a free radical scavenger and can be used with Vitamin A in your daily skin care routine.
Another skin care tip is the use of plant extracts such as Potato, Tumeric, Aloe Vera, and Lemon. Apple cider vinegar can also help. Many companies now use natural plant extracts including Neostrata and Lytera.
BHA or salicylic acid combined with low strength hydroquinone is another skin care tip to reduce most forms of skin pigmentation. This is called Superfade and can be purchased from most pharmacies, including myskinpharmacy.com.au
As a laser dermatologist I use over a dozen types of lasers in various wavelengths, including pico and nano second lasers, Fraxel, Clear and Brilliant, fractional laser resurfacing and even ablative CO2 and erbium lasers. I always give a diagnosis with an examination before providing a laser solution. Please do not ask me to recommend a laser solution for your skin type, as a diagnosis is needed prior to advice. Freckles, melasma, sun damage, actinic keratosis and age spots all require specific lasers or IPL- BBL in some cases. As with all my treatments, a bespoke approach gives the best results.
Stay safe, and remember this- diagnosis before treatment. Many deaths have occurred due to poor management as melanomas have been treated with laser from non-medical or Specialist clinics. These DIY tips are designed as a safe ‘hint’ for treating your pigmentation using products that can be bought online, or at a local pharmacy.
One new video every Saturday morning, Brisbane Australia time, Dr Davin Lim. Laser & Aesthetic dermatologist.
Quick video on products to consider if you have pigmentation. These are over the counter products that actually can work, especially for mild pigmentation. I use lasers for all forms of resistant pigmentation including freckles, sun damage, melasma and age spots. Diagnosis is the first step .... so please consult a dermatologist in PERSON if in doubt. Dr Davin Lim
Hi Doctor I know you get hundreds of emails a day and I have really appreciated that you have taken the time to respond to a few of mine in the past. Just another question please - any names for a U.K. dermatologist who specialises in acne scar revision? I have been on your website and you have named Doctors in the US, Singapore, France and Germany (i think) but none for the U.K. I would be massively grateful, thank you! Otherwise I might have to seriously think about a trip to Brisbane next year!
What dose collagen do? And what can help produce it more ??? Thank you
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim baby
Hi Dr Lim, thank you for all the amazing tips and knowledge! Could you put in your list of to dos a video on chest wrinkle prevention and treatment? Thank you again and happy holidays!
Lasers and Lifts by Dr Davin Lim doctor plz tell me that products name
With each of your laser videos, I'm gradually understanding the differences between them. Better to see a derm as an "educated" patient than not, and I sincerely thank you for that! Have a great week! Rita
Thank you . DL
Tis Doc is so generous to share his knowledge. Im very impressed. Thanks Doc., am a fan now from Phils 🇵🇭😍❤️
Finally found somebody who actually talks about the scientific evidence behind those beauty products. Well done! Hoping to see more of such videos, plus explaining the biological mechanism would be great!
Cheers, Davin Lim
Hi Dr Davin lim. You are tha best doctor in this word.
Thank you for your kind words, Davin Lim, BRISBANE SKIN specialist.

Helli Davin. IM justin from philippines. I used obagi products before but i stopped because i started to have a pigmentation. Is it possible that products causes my pigmentation? Never been exposed to the sun before
Even now . I am inside of the house.
@@thejpcfiles8438 did you put sunscreen ? My case i use at night but in the morning before i head out i use sunscreen . Ps i use other retinol but the thing is the same
WOW that was amazing!! you can see the results with 1927 machine on first treatment, awesome job doctor Lim 👏 I'll keep watching and keep learning, watching from Illinois USA.
I love this! "here's a few free ways to help your problems". For that, I would totally pay to see you.
Hello Dr. What is the Vitamin A retinol which u are showing in the video? Which one Shud I buy?
Wished I live in Australia so I could see you as my dermatologist
Yeah I need to get some laser treatment and daren't pick a dermatologist, I'd trust Davin though 😬
Mary Chen yummy!!
Hey do you have pigmentation?
Same
#mary do you have pigmentation problem..
If yes I can give you the solution in Australia...
Wow, this video makes me really grateful to live in a cooler climate for once. I had no idea just everyday sun could do such damage to skin...very interesting video, as always!
Cheers, Davin Lim
He's giving us love by giving us great and genuine information that'd he'd give to his personal family and friends. Let's do our part by sharing the video on fb, etc. Ty Dr. Lim appreciate the help.
Thank you so much for your honesty in helping people who want to reverse skin damage and giving hope as not all people can afford laser treatments but appreciate your great info on dyi to help improve skin. Really appreciate this so much.
Maybe this might help...

Fantastic results. I need this! Skin texture was also so improved. Thankyou Dr Lim!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am almost 50 yrs old and suffering from hyperpigmentation. So this is very helpful!
Wow you look great!
Please share some of patients with deeper skin tone, if they are comfortable and if you have such patients. Deeper skin tones have to use alternative professional regimes , and id love to hear you speak on it.
Yes, time will come. Davin Lim
Hi Dr,great to come across your Chanel,really happy to see someone who's knows what is right for us....👌💕
I'm traveling to Australia just to book an appointment and see you.
Thank you So much for the over the counter options for hydroquinone!! So thrilled to know something is actually available without prescription in Australia!! I had given up trying to find one previously!
the only product that cleared my melasma in two weeks is called Eucerin, great product!
Which one of the cream ?
@@zullymouton1869 I used 3: eucerin pigment, cream day pigment 30 sunscreen and cream night pigment
This video and your video on melasma have given me so much informative information for my assignment on melasma. Cheers!
Excellent video: highly informative. Your skill with a laser certainly highlights the limitations (and strengths) of at home treatment. Highly appreciate your skill. Keep producing content and get yourself some US links so you can be compensated for your recommendations.
I’m so glad I’ve found your Chanel🙏
My future Trips after COVID injections
Is coming to Queensland to have my treatments .
Loving these videos Dr. Handsome. With your tips and tricks, my skin has looked it's best. My sister is envious. Thank you so much and keep these videos coming!!!! Happy holidays!
Thanks.... good to know Im helping people... Davin Lim
Hello to all people who have issue with acne. I am 22 years old, and since I was little girl, I suddenly got horrendous acne covering my face. I tried all acne medications available but it was no good. I even tried many diets and advice but in the end i got some metabolism disorder and I ended up with even more acne. My last hope was to try special laser treatments and when that failed too, it seemed I will never find solution. Then I run across this page. It’s name is: *AcneCureOnline. Com* It was impossible to believe, and advice from this site helped me to cure acne! After only 7 days I had first results and after less than two months my skin was free of acne. All this thanks to secrets from this site
You have the greatest attitude, very comforting! keep up the good work Doc
Thank you
Thank you Dr for giving free consultation...😚
Cheers, the reason I do these videos is that it saves me explaining what can be done BEFORE laser. As a laser dermatologist its only ethical that patients should try these (within reason ) BEFORE seeing me. Saves time, effort and money for patients. Davin Lim
Wonderful acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to get short, sweet and also to the point about what food items to avert and boost intake for better skin, eliminating acne. Trust me, this will make sense. I can guarantee that this is a helpful guide. Extremely informative and a great help to eliminate acne.
Thank you so much. I am a 52 year old that has a lot of sun damage and am trying to undo what the sun has done. Your videos are very educating. I appreciate your knowledge and your no nonsense approach to products. Gotta have my Botox so I can save money on all the products I buy and just stick to the ABC routine.
Yup.... simple works. DL
Dr Lim who would recommend to see down here in Sydney. Love the Video presentation.
Thanks. I like dermatologist who are honest and practise professionalism to help their patients. Many dermatologists prefer to sell products, and unnecessarily treatments.
Cheers, DL
Thank you so much. I learned so much from you. Good job and God bless you.
Dr. Lim your a world champion in what you do and I think you have great & lovely parents & family and had a fantastic uprising. I wish you all the best Sir...
I’m new here and I really appreciate what you are doing it is amazing information and passion to your profession to the people!!! Regards CA USA. 🥰🥰
Loved your video, I am actually in the hospital, had surgery on my rt. Knee after a nasty fall. I had a total knee done, and am now learning how to function again. Hope all is well in Brisbane. Goodnite from Utah
Hope you are recovering well.... I dread the day when I need a new right hip.. I can feel the arthritis coming on.I know how you feel as I ve had over a dozen ortho ops. for backs, knees, and ankles. Too much sport when I was young. Recover well, nite Ida.
Plz make video on acne and acne marks best way to deal with these skin problem and what is the best cream
Just thought i would share my experience about breakouts. I take zinc. Do salt water " sea salt" colon cleanses. Just doing those 2 alone nearly made my skin perfect .
Oh Dr. Bronners soap will help like you won't believe. Organic is the way to go .
Thanks for your well wishes, means a lot to me. Yes it is bad when arthritis sets in, so you thought you had a broken meniscus but now it is embedded in arthritis also. I am not the best patient, I have actually heard that about a lot of us medical people lol. Meet you at the video saturday, until then, see y'all later. Ida
Thanks so much Dr. Davin Lim!!!! Excellent video and extremely informative like always!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! I always learn so much watching your videos!!! I have shared so much information that I have learned from you!!! Greatly appreciated!!! ❤️😃
No problems Traci, Dr Davin Lim
Doctor..your smile is so soothing.. I think your patients gets cured just by that smile 😊

How thorough! Love the before and afters and your unsponsored skillz! Thats amazing! Have a great week and Happy Saturday /Sunday 💞
Thanks, DL
U.s.a has hydroquinnone OTC in low percentages. Palmers coca butter brand sells one.
If you use hydroquinone and then stop , can the lightened skin get worse when in the sun esp in the summer ?
@@dynamitedynamite2737 yes make sure you use sunscreen, you should be using sunscreen anyway
What kind of vitamin C should i use while using Hydroquinone?
Thank you !!! I have been waiting for this.
Cheers, its a popular requested topic. Davin Lim. Brisbane.
Would you please explain hot to use the 5 products in order? Step by step? Sunscreen first? And then vitamin C? And then....??? Shall I put some of the products at night? Or only in the morning? Do I need some time like 5 minutes or 1 hour between the products?
Hey Dr Davin. I practice in Jamaica doing basic aesthetics but getting into laser cosmetics soon. A large part of my population is darker skinned with PIH macules secondary to acne. What laser would you recommend for that target population?
Great video. So informative for those of us with pigmentation issues. Thank you!
Thank you for watching. Davin Lim
Do you know of any dermatologists like yourself in Illinois or Wisconsin? I’m having a hard time finding a place that doesn’t have a bad reputation or med spas with untrained and unlicensed technicians. I wish i had someone like you in the u.s
I just made a small operation with fractional C02 Laser. I made it bcs i had a mole on my face and i went to the Doctor and all procedure went so smooth, then i went to work and blood started to come out, lol.. i panicked like a mofo but then i patched it up with band aid.. we will see if i will have any scar after that.
Next friday im going to make the fraction C02 Laser on my cheeks for pores and post acnee scars. We will see how its going to be.
By the way, i have freckles too since i was little, now its not so visible, but freckles can have its own charm, be beautiful with freckles, i embrace them and i'm not feeling comfortable having them :D, its more i feel uncomfortable with my big ass pores and post acne scars.
You are very good Dr.Lim and i can see by the way you are talking and what you do, damn you for sure love what you do :D
Hi Doctor Davin, what great information. I used superfade many years ago and did permanently get rid of many brown spots, although I found the formula very greasy. Is it any better now? thank you for your video. You are saving us all a lot of money! cheers!
No problems ,share if you think its useful. Davin Lim
Hello prettyblimp, Can you please share more details of the superfade? I am interested in trying it out. Thanks.
How do we get rid of burn mark at home quickly? Mark was done by hot ion box!
Thank you for all the informations & I wish to visit your clinic when I visit Australia! You are a blessing sir!
Can you use all this together? Or is there a special way to layer these products.
You cannot mix and match without having a deep insight in these treatments. Best to see a dermatologist for your concerns specifically.
I always have to watch a few times before I understand what you are saying, cos I can't stop looking at you! Anyway, thanks for the info, great video, great help !
You are indeed welcome. Davin Lim
I was using hydroquinione 4% for a number of months and then looked at my skin and I really wanted to lighten it but it doesn't get any lighter unless you look at my neck. That is light. I wear the lightest shade of foundation in any line and I should be happy with that. Asian beauty standards were getting the best of me but I am ok being the lightest shade as it is.
Add laser... Davin Lim
You are a wonderful doctor. These Lazer treatments are amazing. The results you get on wrinkles and aging skin is unbelievable. Thank you so much for all this information. God bless.you.
.. and I thank you for taking the time to view this video. Hope it helps. Dr Davin Lim. BRISBANE SKIN specialist.
Dr. Lim you don't want to start practising in Canada, do you? It's nice here. We have free universal health care. Summers are nice. Winters are challenging, but not horrendous. I need a laser dermatologist here. It wouldn't be hard to get certification here!
Thanks, love my work, but family in Bris Vegas, or Brisbane Oz..... I have yet to lecture in Canada. DL
please come here in canada
Treatments to get when you have a non-Caucasian complexion. I am biracial, over 60 and have skin color similar to yours or a little lighter and I have natural freckles plus additional freckles from sun damage
Sir i hv pigmentation patches on my face pls suggest me
This was a quick and useful read. I`m promoting this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* to my friend who`ll begin their acne treatments to accomplish a clearer skin. Very much liked this and appreciated the awareness into how my inside troubles can affect my skin. .
Liked the video before I even watched cause I know you make great content, cheers doc
Thank you . Davin Lim
thanks ..love u for giving such awesome tips
Welcome.
sir can you write/mention the name of these product in description box,please.
Thank you for providing the exact info I need. I like your cheerful, positive style of presentation.
I have been seeing a laser dermatologist in Brisbane, Dr Robert S. who has a research team working on skin cancer. I had no idea about all the different kinds of lasers. I am 73 and ALWAYS wear a hat in the sun, but I have mild rosacea, rhinophyma, brown spots and acne.
Could you give the names of the products that are shown in the video in the description...pls....that applies to all your videos....
Hello Dr.Lim, i would like ask you. How we can combine retin A with AHA in our daily routines? Is it possible and save?? Thank you ))
With a test patch and caution. Davin Lim
Why isn't every dermatologist in the world like you? btw got any tips for red acne hyperpigmentation? or can you make video about it please
A lot of these ingredients are in the Reverse Regimen I've been using from Rodan + Fields. It's really helped fade my sun damage.
Hi again Dr David, you are an amazing doctor 👨⚕️ sooooo glad to know you
Dr. Lim, Thank you for the wonderful video!! Are we not supposedly using 2%-4% hydroquinone more than 2-3 months then take a break? I just purchased Obagi blender to mix with retin-a & Obagi clear to add to my daily skin care routine. THANKS!! :)
Jewel m hi where did you get yr obagi blender. I have trouble finding it in melbournr. Thanks
Anna I got mine from lovelyskin.com. I'm from U.S., don't know if they ship internationally. Dr. Lim office might carry them too?
Hi Anna,
Not sure where your from but in the US, you can purchase Obagi on Obagi.com or dermstore.com. Good luck!
Such a good hearted and generous doctor,, athough i dont have that skin problem i just want to salute u for being so kind.. sharing ur knowledge to others.. God bless sir.. 😇🙏
You are welcome. DL
What about post inflammatory hyperpigmentation ?
Yup, this can be effective for PIH. Davin Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
Hello Doc, thank you for sharing this information. Have a blessed day!
Welcome, Davin Lim, Brisbane skin specialist.
do i need to apply sunscreen when i am work at home? only one window in my room and is not facing to my desk
Yes.. UVA goes through glass. Davin Lim
will do!!
So quickly becoming addicted to your channel! I only wish these products were OTC in the US!
In Bulgaria it is literally cheaper and much faster to do the laser treatments, rather than to buy 3 Neostrata Products!
Wow... laser sessions here are not expensive as well... dermal toning.
Aren't they? How do you finance all those machines? Or is there such high demand?
I can not obviously answer for Dr Lim, but I could give u an insight how things work out in poor Bulgaria:
the banks buy the machines and then the lease them out to Salons and Clinics.
Yes, that's usually how it works in capitalism, but leasing doesn't mean free. I know it's tax deductible, but you must still earn that money and your wage and wage of administrative workers and a rent.. But if it pays off at lower prices, good for us.
Imagine the lowest salaries in EU combined with the lowest taxes in EU. Welcome, to Bulgaria! That is how they achieve those prices!
I want to start adding Vit c to my routine. As a young child I was a fair skin golden blonde with freckles. The freckles have faded with care but come back in the summer. These are great products that will work for me I am sure.
Great sharing! Can you do a video on getting rid of ingrown hairs and strawberry legs, please?
Please respond to this
Recently I got PIH from 2.5%benzoyl peroxide. Can I use kligman serum just on the brown marks
You are awesome, I love watching your videos, thank you making them
It has taken me years to fade my dark spots. Thank you for this video.
Yes, PIH does take a long time to fade. Good work Davin Lim
Hi how long did it take to fade dark spots and was it post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and what products did you use to fade ?
THANK YOU! WOW LASERS ARE WONDERFUL! I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL OUT OF NOWHERE AND I LOVED IT!
GOD BLESS YOU!
YOU ARE AMAZING!💜💜
Thanks Davin Lim
Thanks for another video! your last one (montsh ago) convinced me to try the Pico for asian skin after being burned by IPL and tbh, one session of that was WAY more effective than years of different creams etc for PIH. was definitely worth the cost. thanks!
Cheers, Pico is great, make sure you see someone experienced. .. all the best, Davin Lim.
Omg the intense pulse light burned your skin ? Did you have IPL for hyperpigmentation first ? Then that burned you and so you decided to have the pico laser dome to treat post inflammatory hyperpigmentation? How is your skin now after having pico laser done?
hi Dr. Davin, thank you for your informative videos. great job! was wondering if you could give an online consultation for melasma.
Good Morning, Dr. Lim. I recently found your channel and so enjoy your content. Coming to you from the U.S-The great state of Texas.
Hi Judy, thanks for viewing, Davin Lim
OMG! I have no idea how I never came across your channel until now..... But I'm so happy I did! Thank you for your time and outstanding videos! Please come to Ohio and practice! 😙
Love your videos Dr. Lim! Please keep making them!!
You are welcome. Davin Lim
Informative, short & straight to the point, thank you Dr..🇿🇦
My doctor gives me this prescription for melasma! My question is that this prescription is only for melasma or this helps me to combat aging. fluocinolone-hydroq.-tretinoin 0.01-4-0.05
Thank you so much for such great information. God Bless you Dr Lim
Hey dr lim great vid as always! With regards to retinol how long are you supposed to use them? Forever?
I have a freckles problem after I had my frist kid. I am gonna try this method
the sunsense is the best sunscreen ever from Australia am been using almost a year and my skin is glowy and healthy
Hi Dr Davin lim you are best doctor in my seeing in his world and my one problem sir I have suffering from redness on my face because I more tubes used it so more dermatologist no one I proper carefully not treated so I kindly request you sir please reply me
I am dealing with acne marks and Vitamin E and especially Vitamin C are basically in EVERY SINGLE VIDEO/ARTICLE . The thing is I've never used Vitamin C and I don't know if serums are the best way to incorporate it into my skincare or there are other and more effective products with a different texture and I don't know what percent is ideal to use for acne marks and as a new user of this ingredient.
el_. Vitamin E, A, and C for external use SHOULD BE the strongest you can get it. I know that if you use too much vitamin A internally, you can damage your kidneys and your hair will fall out too. Stick with EXTERNAL remedies, even from the doctors, dermatologists, and aestheticians.
Thanks so much for this! What is best to get rid of acne scarring at home?
Super fade is only 2% hydroquinoine. We need 4% to be effective right? If you are using Super fade should we rest after 3 months or its safe to use until the pigment improves at the 2%?
Hi doctor I have melesma on my nose and both of my cheeks I tried every single expensive creams I have had microdermabrasion nothing is working I don’t have no confidence and been so stressed about the melsema on my face plz help

When you title diy i was thinking about making unsweetened home made lemonade on my face as a remedy
Anne-Marie Defo bruh same
Hi, Dr.! Great video! Zo skin health products really help me with my acne scars. I used the Melamin and Melamix. I always have used Retina but have added Zo's glycolic acid and vitamin c. So the ABCs like you suggest.To me the Zo by Zeni Obagi products are way better than the original Obagi products.
What is this product name shown your video?
Happy Holidays Dr. Lim. I apologize if I didn't get to watch it. More power to your channel
No prbs.
Thank you ❤️🙏🏼 your videos are always so helpful!
:) thx
You are awesome. This is Dr. Kishore from India.
Dear dr. Lim, I hooe you'd reply. I break out from any sunscreen, chemical or physical. I've made sure to take it off thoroughly with cleansing oil but still. I have acne prone dry skin, would you suggest a good non clogging sunscreen? I've tried everything from banana boat to LRP. Thank you so much!
Trial and error, light LRP, ask a skin care pharmacist. DL
