Potato juice is one of the safest and most gentle home remedies for reducing pigmentation, dark spots, acne marks, and uneven skin tone. It is especially suitable for sensitive skin and can be used regularly without harsh side effects.
Why Potato Juice Works for Pigmentation
Potato contains natural enzymes like Catecholase, along with vitamins and antioxidants that help to:
- Lighten dark spots and pigmentation
- Reduce melanin formation
- Calm irritated and inflamed skin
- Improve overall skin tone
- Add natural brightness and freshness
Because it is mild, potato juice works slowly but safely, making it ideal for long-term use.

- Take 1 medium-sized raw potato
- Wash, peel, and grate it
- Squeeze out the juice using a clean cloth or strainer
- Use immediately for best results
