Brown spots are ultimately caused by hyperpigmentation, which results from the overstimulation of melanocytes, the skin cells responsible for the production of melanin. Melanin is what gives skin its color, and melanin production is an important part of the skin’s natural processes. But when cellular damage due to poor diet, sun exposure, and other factors occurs, the regulation of melanin production sometimes breaks down. It is this that leads to brown spots and age spots.
Hale Cosmeceuticals has developed a unique technology for our Skin Brightener Hyper-Pigmentation Correcting Lotion that is specially-formulated to reduce the appearance of brown spots by stopping the cycle of melanin-regulation breakdown.
Active ingredients include:
-
Niacinamide is an important nutrient for the skin, kidneys, and brain. It helps build keratin to strengthen skin, creates a lipid barrier to help the skin retain moisture, and reduces oil production. Like many important vitamins, it helps reduce oxidative stress to the skin and reduce inflammation and scars.
-
DescripArbutin is derived from berries, and regulates the pathway that produces pigmentation/melanin. This gives it the ability to brighten skin. It also helps to reduce age spots, blemishes, scars, and hyperpigmentation. It is considered gentle to the skin and can reduce the degree of skin darkening by blocking the production of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved with melanin production
-
Kojic acid is derived from mushrooms and works to brigten and even skin by regulating melanin production in the skin. It also has antimicrobial and anti-oxidant properties. When combined with other brightening or exfoliating ingredients, it displays great synergistic effects
-
Ferulic acid is derived from plant cell walls such as rice, wheat, and apples. It is an antioxidant in its own right, but also stabilizes Vitamin C and Vitamin E to create a powerful synergistic effect and reduce signs of aging and fight free radicals.
-
Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid found in grains such as barley, wheat, and rye. It has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which make it effective for people with blemishes or rosacea. It can help prevent future skin outbreaks and reduce bacteria that come into contact with your pores
How to use:
Use daily in the morning and evening. Apply and massage into skin to improve areas of hyperpigmentation.
