Facial dark spots are one of the most common skin care concerns. Factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes and aging can cause an irregular production of melanin, leading to hyperpigmentation.
To obtain bright, even skin it is essential to follow a suitable facial depigmentation treatment. The combination of the right products can make the difference in reduction and prevention of dark spots. In this article, we present this Pigment Zero routine, designed to effectively treat hyperpigmentation and enhance results in the long-term.
How facial depigmentation works to treat dark spots
To effectively treat dark spots on the face, it is essential to understand how facial depigmentation works and what makes it really effective. It is not just about eliminating existing dark spots, but also about preventing their reappearance and improving the quality of the skin.
Facial depigmentation acts at three key levels:
- ● Preventing melanin production: Ingredients such as tranexamic acid and niacinamide reduce the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme that generates the pigment in the skin.
- ● Slowing the transfer of the pigment: Melanin that has already been produced is prevented from dispersing through the skin, avoiding new hyperpigmentations.
- ● Stimulating cell renewal: alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) and other exfoliants eliminate the pigmented cells, gradually lightening dark spots on the face.
The combination of these mechanisms makes a facial depigmentation treatment truly effective, allowing not only the reduction of dark spots on the face, but also evening of the skin tone and prevention of future pigment alterations.
At MartiDerm, we have also co-developed ExoTech, an exclusive biomimetic exosome that acts as an intelligent vehicle that delivers depigmenting active ingredients right where they are needed: to the source of the dark spot. Thanks to their high cellular affinity, they provide targeted, deep and long-lasting action.
The definitive facial depigmentation routine
Morning – Protection, prevention and depigmentation treatment
During the day, the skin is exposed to external factors such as solar radiation and pollution.
- ● DSP-Exo Melan serum in dropper format: Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin before applying cream. This serum includes ExoTech technology, an advanced depigmenting exosome designed and co-developed by MartiDerm, which delivers three times the depigmenting power ¹.
¹ Effectively reduces melanin production, as shown in ex vivo testing. Ref: 8715
- ● DSP-Cream SPF 50+ day cream: Apply the depigmentation cream after the vial to moisturise, protect from the sun and prevent dark spots from intensifying. Its formula with SPF 50+ UVA/UVB solar filters and antioxidant active ingredients prevent photoaging.
Finish your day routine by applying DSP-Cover, a depigmentation stick with a very high sun protection factor (SPF 50+) designed to prevent, reduce and camouflage dark spots on the skin. This stick is ideal for covering localised dark spots, and its practical format and small size make it perfect to carry with you and reapply at any time.
This routine:
- - Protects skin from the sun, preventing dark spots from darkening.
- - Prevents new hyperpigmentations while treating and covering existing ones.
- - Moisturises and strengthens the skin barrier.
Night – Repair and renewal with depigmenting products
During the night, the skin enters a process of regeneration, and this is the best time for thorough treatment of hyperpigmentation.
Reapply the DSP-Exo Melan serum as a first step and complete the routine with the DSP-Renewal Cream, to boost exfoliation with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), eliminating pigmented cells and improving skin texture.
Why is it key in the routine?
- - It reinforces the depigmentation treatment while the skin regenerates.
- - It promotes cell renewal and unifies skin tone.
- - It provides a gentle exfoliating action that enhances the results.
How soon will you notice the results?
The success of any facial depigmentation treatment depends on consistency and a good combination of active ingredients.
Clinical studies carried out by MartiDerm demonstrate that the Zero Pigment combined routine offers visible results from the first week, with a gradual improvement to the skin. In addition, continued use of DSP-Exo Melan reduces visible spots by up to 43% ² and also reduces spots that are not yet visible, evens the tone and offers anti-reappearance efficacy.

Tips for enhancing your facial depigmentation treatment
To achieve the best results and enhance the efficacy of the facial depigmentation treatment, it is essential to complement the routine with good habits. Here are some key recommendations:
Sunscreen: the essential step
Sun exposure is one of the main causes of hyperpigmentation, therefore applying an SPF 50+ sunscreen must be an essential step in your daily routine. Even in winter or on cloudy days, UV rays can affect the skin and exacerbate dark spots on the face. For effective protection:
- ● Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen every morning, as a last step in your routine.
- ● Reapply every two hours if you are going to be outdoors or exposed to the sun.
- ● Complement this with accessories such as hats or sunglasses to increase protection.
Consistency and patience: key to seeing results
Facial depigmentation treatments do not offer immediate results. Hyperpigmentation is a complex process and requires time and consistency for visible improvement. To avoid relapses:
- ● Follow the depigmentation routine daily, without interruptions.
- ● Take into account that the first results may take a few weeks to be visible.
Habits that enhance the facial depigmentation treatment
In addition to the routine with the right products, some lifestyle changes may help to keep skin more even and brighter:
- ● Avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially during the middle of the day.
- ● Include antioxidants in your diet, such as vitamin C and E, which help to protect the skin from the inside.
- ● Maintain optimal hydration, using products suitable for your skin type and drinking enough water each day.
Following these tips, your facial depigmentation treatment will be much more effective and you will be able to enjoy even, bright, protected skin.
