Hyperpigmentation

Often skincare products and treatments aim to speed up the natural processes associated with a healthy complexion, improving collagen and elastin production and increasing cellular turnover rate for example. Improving and evening out the skin-tone is different. A mottled, uneven skin tone results from an overproduction of melanin, so slowing that down is top priority. To improve the look of pigmented skin caused by sun exposure, hormones, and scarring you need to use skin care that target and slow down melanin production.
