Hey besties! If you’re concerned with uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation you’re not alone - hyperpigmentation, dark spots and post-inflammatory discoloration can result from various factors (sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, etc.) and addressing these issues effectively requires a well-formulated skincare regimen featuring key ingredients known for their brightening and pigment-inhibiting properties. In an endless sea of products and ingredients glutathione, tranexamic acid and niacinamide stand out for their remarkable efficacy. Let’s discuss what they do and why they make such a difference in the skin!

If you’re struggling with discoloration don’t forget your tinted sunscreen!

(Sunscreen helps protect from the visible aging effects of the sun but the iron oxides in tinted sunscreens help protect from visible light which can exacerbate skin conditions like melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. If you’re suffering with pigment-related issues reach for a tinted sunscreen, tinted moisturizer or foundation to pair with your accurately dosed SPF to minimize these pigment-related concerns and give you a nice even-toned finish.)

“What are the benefits of glutathione, tranexamic acid and niacinamide in skincare?”

An even skin tone is often associated with healthy and youthful skin. It enhances the complexion's overall appearance, giving it a radiant and uniform look. Uneven skin tone, on the other hand, can make the skin look dull and aged. Rectifying pigmentation issues is not only about aesthetic improvement but also about boosting confidence and overall skin health - but how do these ingredients do that?

“ What is the difference between the serum and the moisturizer?”

Using the serum and moisturizer together amplify their benefits - but of course you’re able to use them separately! The serum’s concentrated formula delivers active ingredients directly to the target areas and helps to lighten long-standing pigmentation. The moisturizer on the other hand works to minimize inflammation, prevent flare-ups and has a different blend of ingredients that focus on superficial imperfections - so while the serum works on the deep stuff the moisturizer is working to keep the surface smooth and prevent superficial issues from happening. This synergy not only helps in fading dark spots and evening out the skin tone but also improves the skin’s overall health and resilience.
