4 of my favorite ingredients to tackle Dark spots, Melasma and Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation! 👩🏾‍⚕️Cysteamine: A power antioxidant that occurs naturally in the body. It reduces skin pigmentation and lightens specific spots with discoloration like post inflammatory pigmentation from acne, melasma, hyperpigmentation or sundamage. To diminish the visible appearance of #darkspots the active ingredients work by reducing melanin production/inhibiting #melanin in pigmented areas. @senteskincare featured here 👩🏾‍⚕️ Azelaic Acid improves so many conditions! It’s amazing for Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, Acne, Rosacea, Melasma & Improving your overall skintone and texture🙌🏾 👩🏾‍🏫Fun nerdy fact: Our body naturally produces azelaic acid (dicarboxylic acid) from a yeast called pityrosporum. The Azelaic Acid acts as a tyrosinase Inhibitor —> decreases the production of melanin(pigment) and overproduction can lead to tinea versicolor or what some call “sun spots” or “lota” . 👌🏾Treats dark spots, hyperpigmentation and Melasma by specifically targeting over productive melanocytes and acting as a tyrosinase inhibitor while reducing inflammation. 🤰🏾Safe in pregnancy and nursing. ⁣⠀ 👩🏾‍⚕️Retinoids: Again amazing for many conditions like acne, hyperpigmentation and anti-aging. It works by Increases cell turn over and is a collagen booster to reveal more youthful glowing skin. 👩🏾‍⚕️And as always most importantly don’t forget to wear sunscreen with high UVA protection and iron oxides. 🔑This helps shield against UV rays, including those that penetrate through windows And High Energy Visible Light/ Blue Light is especially true in those with a darker skin type. @larocheposay featured here #melasma #hyperpigmentation #darkspots #darkspotsolution #darkmarks #dermatology #skinofcolor #melaninrich #melaninpoppin #sunspots
