HYPERPIGMENTATION GUIDE

HYPER-PIGMENTATION PRESCRIPTION

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin concern characterized by the darkening of certain areas of the skin, typically due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. While hyperpigmentation can occur for various reasons, including sun exposure and hormonal changes, melasma is a specific form of hyperpigmentation that often presents unique challenges in management.

This guide was created to help guide your choices to supplements and products that can help you toward your goal of fading dark sports safely. The following is a quick breakdown of methods you’d need to deploy in your battle against this persistent condition:

Protection: Broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen to prevent UV- induced pigmentation.
Tyrosinase Inhibitors: Block melanin production with azelaic acid and tranexamic acid.
Melanin Transfer Stoppers: Niacinamide reduces melanin transfer to skin cells.
Exfoliants: Retinol & AHAs promotes cell turnover to fade dark spots.
Antioxidants: Glutathione, Vitamin C, Green Tea and Licorice Root extract combat free radicals and inhibit melanin synthesis.
