What is Pigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation or uneven pigmentation affects most people, regardless of ethnic background or skin colour. In fact, half of females between ages 35-59 cite discoloration and uneven skin tone as a more significant concern than loss of skin firmness.
Pigmentation occur when the body produces too much melanin triggered by tyrosinase (an enzyme that converts tyrosine to melanin). Tyrosinase activity is stimulated by aggressors including UV overexposure, inflammation including acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and hormonal fluctuations.
Skinceuticals Advanced Pigment Corrector
Featuring an exclusive breakthrough cocktail containing ellagic acid and hydroxyphenoxy propionic acid, two high potency ingredients proven to be as effective versus 4% hydroquinone and 2% kojic acid, respectively.
This highly effective formula works via four modes of action: it exfoliates existing spots at the stratum corneum, inhibits melanin transfer at the epidermis, blocks excess melanin production at the basal layer, and strengthens dermal layers to prevent against new and reoccurring pigment.
Effective as a stand-alone product and as an alternative to hydroquinone therapy, SkinCeuticals Advanced Pigment Corrector can also be used as a complement to clinical procedures and common prescription therapies, and to treat hyperpigmentation and discolouration.
