Science behind it:
Dark spots, stubborn brown patches, melasma are common problems that almost everyone will face. Dark spots or stubborn brown spots/patches are areas of the skin with excess Melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives our skin colour, but when the skin is inflammed, excess melanin is being produced in the skin, which emerges as darker coloured spots and makes the skin tone uneven. A complex, multi-step process takes place in the skin when we study how dark spots are formed:
Step 1: Inflammation Triggers – Sun/ UV exposure, acne, hormonal changes such as pregnancy are common triggers. They trigger inflammatory mediators, which activates the enzyme Tyrosinase in the skin’s lowest epidermal layers.
Step 2: Melanin Production – Tyrosinase enables Melanocytes in the skin to produce more Melanin. When the skin is inflammed, this produces excessive Melanin.
Step 3: Melanin Transfer – Excess melanin gets transferred through the layers of the skin over a few weeks.
Step 4: Emergence – Excess melanin emerges as dark spots or stubborn brown patches on the skin surface. These pigment deposits tend to be more difficult to be removed compared to other skin cells on the surface.
To address the 4 steps of pigmentation above, SkinCeuticals presents Discoloration Defense. This latest-generation dark spot corrector, using a combination of potent and proven anti-discoloration ingredients to address key types of skin discoloration. Each of the 4 active ingredients in this potent formulation targets a different step of the pigmentation cycle, thus correcting and preventing dark spots from its origin.
