Can AHAs and BHAs Cause or Worsen Hyperpigmentation?

While AHAs and BHAs are often used to treat hyperpigmentation by promoting cell turnover, improper use or over-exfoliation can lead to irritation and potentially worsen hyperpigmentation, especially in darker skin tones. Using sunscreen and following product directions can mitigate this risk.
