About This Product

Is NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector right for you?

  • If you have specific areas of discolouration that bother you more than your overall tone — a targeted corrector allows you to concentrate the highest active dose exactly where it is needed, without applying strong brightening agents across your entire face.
  • If post-inflammatory marks from acne, injury, or procedures are leaving lasting pigmented reminderspost-inflammatory hyperpigmentation responds well to localised AHA and brightening treatment applied directly and consistently.
  • If age spots on your hands, face, or chest have become noticeable — the Dark Spot Corrector works effectively on any body area where UV-induced pigmentation has accumulated.
  • If you are using the Enlighten Pigment Controller for general tone and want to accelerate specific darker spots — combining a general brightening programme with targeted spot correction delivers significantly faster visible results on the most stubborn areas.
  • If a scar or mark has stayed longer than you expected and lighter than it is acceptable — concentrated active treatment applied directly is the most effective approach for stubborn localised discolouration.

How NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector works — the science

Individual dark spots — whether from sun exposure, post-inflammatory marking, or hormonal triggers — represent concentrated melanin deposits in a localised area. Treating them effectively requires delivering a higher active concentration directly to the melanin-dense area rather than diluting the same actives across the whole face.

The Dark Spot Corrector contains a concentrated blend of AHA exfoliants and tyrosinase inhibitors in a 20g targeted format. The AHA component accelerates the shedding of the most deeply pigmented cells from above, while the tyrosinase inhibitors interrupt melanin production from below. Applied twice daily directly to the spot, this dual action creates a visible lightening effect faster than a general brightening programme applied broadly.

The small format encourages precise, consistent application — and the targeted approach means the highest active concentration goes exactly where the problem is, without over-treating healthy surrounding skin.

What you will notice — and when

Week 1-2 — The edges of the spot begin to soften and look less defined. The centre may appear slightly lighter.

Month 1 — Visible lightening of the spot is measurable. The area blends more naturally with the surrounding skin tone.

Month 2-3 — Persistent spots fade significantly with consistent targeted treatment. For very long-standing pigmentation, in-clinic treatment alongside home correction accelerates results.

How to use NeoStrata Enlighten Dark Spot Corrector

  1. After cleansing, apply a small amount directly to the dark spot using a fingertip.
  2. Apply morning and evening, keeping application precisely within the pigmented area.
  3. Always apply SPF over the treated area in the morning — unprotected UV exposure will undo the correction.
  4. Can be used alongside the Pigment Controller for a comprehensive brightening approach.
  5. Continue for a minimum of 8-12 weeks for stubborn spots.

Dr. Bangalee's clinical perspective

Dr. Bangalee Recommends
"Targeted spot correction is something I recommend as an adjunct to any comprehensive brightening programme. For patients with specific marks — a stubborn age spot, a post-acne scar, an area that has not fully responded to general treatment — this gives them a precision tool to apply maximum concentration exactly where it is needed. Used alongside in-clinic treatment, results are significantly faster." Dr. Rajeev Bangalee

What our patients say

"I had an age spot on my cheek that I had been covering with concealer for 5 years. After 10 weeks of targeted application it has faded by about 80%. I stopped using concealer last month."
Glenda, Hillcrest
"The acne scars that were left after my teenage years have finally started to fade. I did not expect a product to be able to do this at my age."
Tshepo, Glenwood
"Dr. Bangalee told me to use this on my specific problem areas while continuing the general Enlighten programme. The combination worked much faster than either alone."
Riana, Kloof

Frequently asked questions

QuestionAnswer
Can I use this on my hands and body as well as my face?Yes — it works on any area with localised hyperpigmentation, including hands, chest, and arms.
What is the difference between this and the Pigment Controller?The Pigment Controller is applied broadly for general tone management. The Dark Spot Corrector delivers a higher concentration to specific targeted areas. They complement each other and can be used together.
How long will one tube last?With targeted application to specific spots only, the 20g tube typically lasts 2-3 months.
My spot has been there for over 10 years. Will this still work?Long-standing pigmentation takes longer to correct but does respond to consistent treatment. For very persistent marks, combining home treatment with in-clinic procedures at Star Aesthetic Centre will deliver faster results.
Is it safe during pregnancy?Consult your doctor before using brightening actives during pregnancy.
