Skincare for Pigmentation
Pigmentation is characterised by darkened spots and patches that appear on the skin, contributing to an uneven complexion. Melanin production causes this pigmentation, and unsurprisingly, the sun is the biggest factor in stimulating melanin and the appearance of pigmented skin. Age, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy), and previous skin injuries can also influence pigmentation, and determine which skincare products for pigmentation will be most effective for you.

Pigmented and sun-damaged skin can benefit from a range of brightening and clarifying actives. Vitamin C and Retinol serums are particularly recommended to help you achieve a more even complexion. These ingredients work to target pigmented and sun-damaged skin through gradual use. Vitamin C encourages tissue repair, helps to reduce pigmentation, and gives skin a natural glow. Retinol targets pigmentation by promoting skin cell regeneration, which can fade darker patches. brighten the skin, and smooth overall texture.
Of course, pigmentation prevention is the best cure, so don’t forget to wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily, such as our Superstar SPF 50+ sun protection cream, in conjunction with skincare for pigmentation. Sun protection creams will help prevent new pigmentation from appearing and existing pigmentation from darkening. Sun protection is also important for those using active skincare since active ingredients can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
