The second type is caused by hormonal fluctuation,&nbsp; like during pregnancies, and the third type is caused by sun damage,\u201d says Chiko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyperpigmentation is completely NORMAL, most people experienced or have experienced hyperpigmentation in their lives. The idea of a flawless complexion is extremely unrealistic- here at Radiance we all suffer with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However for those who feel like they want to reduce their marks here is Chiko\u2019s advice:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite hyperpigmentation not being dangerous, people obviously still seek treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She says: \u201cHyperpigmentation can be very hard to get rid of.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chiko\u2019s skincare recommendations are retinoids and serums which contain azelaic acid or tranexamic acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, normally the most successful way of removing hyperpigmentation is through more experienced treatments such as chemical peels and micro-needling. If you are interested in these procedures please go to a professional.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DFYPGZau_J3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
