Our Tough Pigmentation and Melasma Combo is your all-in-one solution for addressing pigmentation and melasma concerns throughout the day and night.
To effectively tackle tough pigmentation and melasma, skincare products need to:
- Inhibit melanin production.
- Promote skin cell turnover for gradual fading.
- Provide antioxidant protection to prevent further damage.
- Hydrate and soothe the skin to enhance healing and reduce inflammation.
- Exfoliate gently to remove dead skin cells without causing irritation.
To do all the above we created this Tough Pigmentation and Melasma Combo.
We have three types of exfoliants to choose from
- 3 % Mandelic Acid (for sensitive skin)
- 5 % Lactic acid exfoliant (for normal, dry, combination skin)
- 3% Glycolic acid exfoliant (for normal, dry, oily combination)
Benefits of Tough Pigmentation and Melasma Combo
Power Players
Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic acid is a potent ingredient renowned for its ability to address pigmentation concerns effectively. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and hyperpigmentation, thereby fading existing discoloration and preventing the formation of new spots. Â
Kojic Dipalmitate
Known for its skin-brightening properties, Kojic Dipalmitate helps to inhibit melanin production, effectively reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Licorice Root Extract
Licorice root extract contains compounds that inhibit tyrosinase activity, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. This makes it an excellent choice for fading dark spots and promoting a more even skin tone.
Alpha Arbutin
Alpha Arbutin is a potent skin-lightening agent that inhibits melanin production, helping to fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots while promoting a brighter complexion.
Granactive Retinol
Granactive Retinol stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, which can help to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of pigmentation issues over time.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C)
As a powerful antioxidant, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) helps to neutralize free radicals and brighten the skin. It also inhibits melanin production, making it effective for reducing hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone.
Niacinamide
Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide has anti-inflammatory properties that help to calm and soothe sensitive skin. It also supports the skin barrier's function and can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
This is a stable derivative of Vitamin C, which is renowned for its skin-brightening effects. This powerful antioxidant works by inhibiting melanin production, which reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. By promoting collagen synthesis, it also enhances skin firmness and elasticity, contributing to a more youthful and radiant complexion.
Retinyl Palmitate
A gentle derivative of Vitamin A, it is highly effective in brightening the skin. It works by accelerating cell turnover, which helps shed dead skin cells and reveal fresh, new skin underneath. This process not only smooths the skin's texture but also fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation over time.Â
Turmeric Extract
Turmeric extract contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties. It helps to reduce inflammation and redness associated with pigmentation issues while promoting a more even skin tone and texture.
SKIN TYPES
All skin types except extremely dry and overly sensitive skin. However, you should always carry out a patch test before applying a new product.
HOW TO DO A PATCH TEST
Performing a patch test is a crucial step when introducing a new skincare product to your routine, as it can help you to determine whether the product is safe for your skin and whether you may have an adverse reaction to it. Here are the steps for performing a patch test:
- Choose a small area of skin on your inner forearm or behind your ear that is easily accessible and not visible.
- Apply a small amount of the product to the area and spread it evenly.Â
- Wait for at least 24-48 hours and observe the area for any signs of redness, itching, swelling, or irritation. If you have a reaction, remove the product immediately and rinse the area with cool water.
- If you do not experience any adverse reactions after 24-48 hours, it is likely safe to use the product on your face.
