Hyperpigmentation
ANTI-DARK SPOT
PROTOCOL
SKIN HYPERPIGMENTATION
The natural color of skin is mainly determined by melanin, a pigment produced by cells in our skin called melanocytes. These cells work more intensely when exposed to sunlight, though certain melanocytes may sometimes produce excess melanin due to other factors.
Once produced, the excess of melanin sometimes builds up in certain areas of skin, rather than being distributed evenly all over skin, thereby forming darker areas, that is, hyperpigmentation.
Having uneven skin and dark spots can greatly influence how old other people think we are.
Hyperpigmentation blemishes can be localised, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun spots and age spots, or occurring over a larger skin area, such as melasma.
HOW TO PREVENT AND CORRECT DISCOLOURATIONS?
The ANTI-DARK SPOTS PROTOCOL has been designed to correct the main discolourations skin can show - either localised blemishes or spread over larger skin areas, improve radiance and even out skin tone.
