Dark spots, patches, uneven skin tone and discoloration are all symptoms for skin pigmentation. There are many possible causes that can lead to pigmentation whether that be excessive sun exposure, post-acne scars, genetics or hormonal changes. Biologique Recherche focuses on addressing the root causes of discoloration and pigmentation while providing visible, long-lasting results.
Causes of Pigmentation
One of the most common causes of skin hyperpigmentation is from sun damage. Excessive sun exposure triggers an increase in the production of melanin. When too much melanin is produced in certain areas it can result in dark spots or patches. We often see this on the face, neck, hands and arms; the areas most often exposed to the sun. Hormonal changes can also cause an overproduction of melanin. The imbalance of certain sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone can result in melasma. This is common in pregnant women. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can often form after a pimple or blemish has healed, leaving behind a post-acne mark.
All the Products You Need to Combat Pigmentation
Face Toner for Pigmentation
Starting with the cult-favorite Lotion P50 PIGM 400, this potent exfoliating and balancing toner is designed to address pigmentation issues. Its unique formula combines lactic and salicylic acid with a blend of plant extracts to brighten the skin, reduce the size of pigmentation marks and prevent them from appearing. It actually inhibits melanin synthesis while respecting and protecting the skin barrier. Regular use of the Lotion P50 PIGM 400 diminishes dark spots and brightens the complexion while setting the foundation for the rest of your skincare regimen.
Intensive Treatment for Pigmentation
Follow with an intensive treatment mask such as the Masque PIGM 400 which contains red algae extract, vitamin C, caviar lime extract and cell detox. Due to its high concentration of brightening active ingredients and antioxidants the skin is left instantly brighter and more even. This is one of my personal favorites before any type of special event since it provides immediate illuminating results.
Face Serum for Pigmentation
For maximum anti-pigmentation results, the Serum PIGM 400 is ideal. After toning with the Lotion P50 PIGM 400 and using your Masque PIGM 400, apply the Serum PIGM 400 to the entire face or to spots of concerns. In addition, it will fight free radicals and protect the skin against environmental aggressors and slow skin aging. It is recommended for all types of hyperpigmentation, discolored and dull skin.
Best Face Creams for Pigmentation
For those with scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation associated with acne, opt for the Creme Iso-Placenta. The Creme Iso-Placenta uses biomimetic placenta peptides, vitamin C and vitamin B3 to rebuild the epidermis and heal the skin surface.
For those with dark spots, uneven skin tone, dullness or age spots the Creme PIGM 400 provides that correction. It leaves the skim with a luminous appearance and prevents new spots from forming.
For those with texture concerns in addition to pigmentation concerns, the Creme Aux Acides De Fruits provides gentle exfoliation to smooth and refine skin texture. It is formulated with AHA, BHA and PHA to resurface the skin and enhance radiance of the skin. We recommend using this as a one month treatment due to its exfoliating properties. In addition, avoid using this cream during sun exposure and while using a vitamin A/retinol.
By incorporating these products into your skincare routine, you are ready to tackle pigmentation! Biologique Recherche products are crafted with a deep understanding of skin physiology and are designed to provide long-lasting results.
