Hyperpigmentation of the skin is a dermatological disorder that causes the skin to become darker or discoloured. Treatments for hyperpigmentation problems frequently have low patient compliance and take a very long time to show benefits. First line treatment for hyperpigmentation is topical formulation, oral treatments. The second line treatment is chemical peel which is more invasive procedure and the third line treatment is laser treatments that are all part of the conventional treatment for hyperpigmentation. These treatments have drawbacks and side effects such erythema,redness,irritation, skin peeling, and dryness, and they take a long time to start showing results. These drawbacks of the traditional therapies allowed for more investigation into more recent approaches to hyperpigmentation management. Novel formulations including liposomes, phytochemicals, and nano/micro emulsion microneedling are a few of these treatments. Better results with fewer adverse effects and more therapeutic efficacy are being shown by a natural chemical.This review aims to several hyperpigmentation problems and their processes, as well as the latest and innovative treatment approaches for managing hyperpigmentation.
