Pigmentation or uneven skin tone is regarded as a skin problem and is marked by the excessive presence of melanin pigment under the skin. Freckles, dark circles, tanning, and age spots are some prominent examples of pigmentation. It steals the natural glow of the skin, making a person look very dull.
