Rumex Extract in the Treatment of Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition that involves over production of melanin, the skin’s pigment. It ranges from conditions including Melasma to freckles and can affect anyone. While not considered to be medically serious, hyperpigmentation can be disfiguring and affected individuals often feel self conscious about their condition. 

 

Hyperpigmentation is the result of over production of melanin, or skin pigment. It is traditionally treated with skin bleaching or skin lightening creams. Since sun exposure triggers the production of melanin, strict sun avoidance is recommended. It’s recommended that individuals always use sunscreen, hats, sunglasses or cover up with clothing. 

 

One ingredient found to be useful in the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders is Rumex extract. Rumex extract comes from Field Dock, a plant native to the Canadian Prairies. Rumex extract works by inhibiting the production of tyrosinase, an enzyme present in human skin and that is responsible for the formation of pigmentation which causes color in skin. Inhibiting tyrosinase reduces the formation of new pigment.

 

Rumex extract may be found in Reversa Anti-Spot Lightening Cream SPF 15 or Reversa Anti Spot NIght Care where it is combined with glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that works as an exfoliant to remove pigmented skin cells. The combined action of Rumex extract and glycolic acid contributes to:

  • A reduction in pigmented spots
  • A highlighted complexion
  • A unified skin tone.

 

Reversa Anti-Spot Lightening Cream is supplemented with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and provitamin B5 to increase skin’s moisture and restore its suppleness and firmness.
