What Are Pigmentation and Hyperpigmentation?

Pigmentation refers to the colouring of the skin caused by melanin production. It's a natural part of the skin's appearance. Hyperpigmentation, however, is the darkening of an area of skin caused by increased melanin. This results in spots or patches that are darker than the surrounding skin, often due to factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes (such as during pregnancy or due to birth control pills), certain medications, and inflammation or injury to the skin (like acne scars or melasma).  This can occur in small patches, cover large areas, or affect the entire body.

Pigmentation Removal Creams

Select the right serum or cream for pigmentation on your face by understanding their ingredients and functions.

Moisturizers for Even Skin Tone

Our moisturizers for even skin tone utilise a variety of key ingredients to target pigmentation and hyperpigmentation. Ingredients such as hexapeptide-5, lipids and polyglutamic acid help to strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier. Oat and cucumber extracts soothe the skin, while hyaluronic acid and apricot oil deeply moisturize. In some products, aloe extract, green tea, and willow bark extract are included for their calming and exfoliating properties and lightweight hydration, enhancing the skin's natural radiance.

Even Tone Correcting Serums

Depending on your needs, you can consider even tone correcting serums featuring ingredients like bakuchiol, tranexamic acid, and niacinamide. Bakuchiol and tranexamic acid are known for their ability to target unwanted colour changes and reduce dark spots on the face, while niacinamide aims to even out skin tone. The inclusion of SPF 30 in certain products further protects the skin from further sun-induced pigmentation.

Brightening Serums and Creams

Each skin brightening cream and serum in our collection is formulated with a unique blend of ingredients targeting pigmentation and hyperpigmentation. Notably, vitamin C serums, with the core ingredient being a potent antioxidant, offer skin-brightening effects, working together with hexapeptide-5 to enhance overall luminosity. The combination of bakuchiol, niacinamide and tranexamic acid, paired with Vitamin E and milk thistle, helps reduce the appearance of dark spots on the face.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Products For Pigmentation and Hyperpigmentation

Are Paula’s Choice’s pigmentation and hyperpigmentation skin care products for textured skin suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin?

Our products designed to target pigmentation and hyperpigmentation cater to various skin types, including oily and sensitive skin. Suitability for each skin type is clearly indicated on our product information. However, if you have sensitive skin, we recommend starting with a patch test on a more discrete area of the face to ensure compatibility.

How often should I apply these pigmentation and hyperpigmentation skin care products for the best results?

The frequency of application depends on the specific product you choose for uneven skin tone concerns. It's crucial to follow the instructions provided on the product packaging, which differ across pigmentation or hyperpigmentation serums and creams. To avoid skin reactions, it's important not to overuse the products. If any reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately.

How long does it typically take to see results?

The time it takes to see an impact on your skin tone varies depending on the product, individual skin type and the severity of the pigmentation or hyperpigmentation. Typically, some difference can be noticed in 8 to 12 weeks, but consistency in application at the right amounts is key. Always listen to your skin and adjust usage accordingly without going beyond the recommended application for more positive, even skin toning results.

Are there any side effects associated with these even skin tone products?

While our ingredients are science-backed and chosen for their effectiveness and safety, individual skin reactions can vary. Side effects may or may not occur, which is why we recommend a patch test before regular use, especially for those with sensitive skin.
