New from La Roche Posay: Pigmentclar Serum, an intensive dark spot correcting serum that corrects the look of dark spots, evens out the skin tone, and provides long-lasting efficacy.
Widely-known for products that are paraben-free, non-comedogenic and well suited for sensitive skin, La Roche Posay has taken on a unique approach to pigmentation disorders by recognizing that dark spots are not only caused by melanocytes (the melanin-producing cells found in the lower part of the epidermis) but also by the melanotope, the area surrounding the melanocyte. Recent studies have found new evidence that dark spots do not solely originate at the epidermal surface. Over the course of their life cycle – from melanin production to their appearance at the skin’s surface – changes within the melanotope (the melanocyte environment) also contribute to their development.
Pigmentclar boasts an exclusive patented formula containing a powerful anti-dark-spot complex of PhE-resorcinol, ginkgo and ferulic acid, along with a high concentration of LHA (β-lipohydroxy acid, with similar action to salicylic acid) which offers gentle surface exfoliation to quickly unify the complexion, resulting in a more even and luminous skin tone.
Clinical tests showed:
- A more unified and even complexion with fresher and more luminous skin tone instantly after use
- Visibly reduced appearance of dark spots and pigment irregularities after 4 weeks
- Significantly decreased appearance of dark spots with reduced color and intensity after 8 weeks
Pigmentclar provides effective treatment of pigmentation with a light, hydrating and fluid texture. Apply serum to the entire face and neckline in the morning or evening.
As always, daily use of a stable, broad-spectrum sunscreen like Anthelios is also essential to any successful skin lightening regimen as UV rays are a major cause of pigmentation.
