Pigmentation & Dark Spots

Do Dark Spot Treatment patches help prevent future dark spots?

Updated 1. January 2024

Immediate Answer: The only thing that truly prevents new sun spots is daily SPF. What the Dark Spot Treatment patches do is fade existing spots—and the earlier you start, the easier it is, because spots haven't yet become deeply entrenched.

The Science: Dark spots that are treated early respond faster than long-standing, deep pigmentation. The patches effectively fade existing spots—but they do not prevent new sun spots from forming. That's what SPF does.

Your Strategy:

  • Patches on existing spots: Fade the spots that are already there
  • Daily SPF everywhere: Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 prevents new sun spots from forming

Dark Spot Treatment patches + daily SPF is the complete answer: remove what's there and stop new spots from forming.

Pro Tip: Start treatment early. A fresh, newly formed spot fades in 4-6 weeks. A dark spot that has been there for years may take longer. The earlier you act, the faster you see results.
