Some evidence
Vitamin C: 7 studies tested it on its own. See all 24 studies
What the studies found
- Most studies found vitamin C helped fade dark spots or patches
- Most studies in melasma found it made patches look lighter over time
- It worked about as well as glycolic acid in one study
- One study found only weak fading, and one dark-spot measure did not beat a placebo
