Pigmentation & Hyperpigmentation Skincare Products

Pigmentation and Hyperpigmentation

Pigmentation refers to the natural colouring of the skin caused by melanin production. While it’s a natural part of our skin's appearance, challenges arise when this melanin production becomes uneven or excessive, leading to hyperpigmentation.

Hyperpigmentation commonly manifests as darker spots or patches on the skin, contrasting with the surrounding areas. In a sunny climate like Singapore, factors such as sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations (such as during pregnancy or with birth control use), certain medications, and post-inflammatory responses from acne scars or skin injuries (like melasma) are frequent culprits. These dark spots can appear as small, isolated patches; spread across larger areas; or, in some cases, affect the entire body, leading to concerns about uneven skin tone.

Targeted skincare products can help lighten areas of pigmentation and hyperpigmentation on the face and skin, restoring an even skin tone along with confidence in your complexion.

Benefits of Using Targeted Products for Hyperpigmentation and Pigmentation

At Paula’s Choice Skincare, our specialised products can help you navigate the complexities of dealing with pigmentation and hyperpigmentation. By adopting a targeted approach, you can look forward to benefits such as:

Achieving Even Skin Tone and Radiance

Targeted pigmentation removal products work diligently to lighten dark spots and patches. This results in a more uniform, clearer, and naturally radiant skin tone, contributing to a healthy glow.

Boosting Self-Confidence and Psychological Well-being

The visibility of hyperpigmentation can affect your self-esteem. Using effective skincare for hyperpigmentation can improve how you feel in your skin, boosting your self-esteem and overall well-being.

Addressing Underlying Skin Damage

Products for hyperpigmentation often contain ingredients like antioxidants and skin-restoring compounds. These not only help target visible dark spots but also protect against future skin damage, supporting overall skin health.

Prevent Worsening and Recurrence

Consistent use of appropriate pigmentation skincare solutions can help inhibit excess melanin production. This helps prevent existing spots from getting darker and also significantly reduces the likelihood of new ones forming.

Glutathione further enhances this product’s antioxidant and brightening power.

The Discoloration Repair Serum is specifically formulated to tackle stubborn brown patches, post-acne marks, and sunspots. Its standout ingredient, Tranexamic Acid, has the ability to interrupt melanin pathways, while Niacinamide and Bakuchiol further boost brightening and improve skin tone and texture.

To brighten your overall skin tone while effectively fading sunspots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), consider the C15 Super Booster. It also provides robust antioxidant protection against future discoloration, leading to a more even complexion.

Our skincare products designed to target pigmentation and hyperpigmentation cater to various skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.
