Founders Note
"Pigmentation is the skin's response to stress — sun, inflammation, hormones. You can't erase it overnight. But with the right ingredients and consistency, the skin's own renewal process does the work."

FAQ – Pigmentation
What causes pigmentation and dark spots?
Pigmentation and dark spots can develop when the skin produces excess melanin. Factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, skin inflammation, and environmental stressors may contribute to uneven skin tone and visible discoloration.
What is the difference between pigmentation and sun spots?
Pigmentation is a broad term used to describe areas of uneven skin tone or discoloration caused by excess melanin. Sun spots are a specific type of pigmentation that develops as a result of repeated sun exposure over time.
Can sun exposure make pigmentation more visible?
Yes, sun exposure can make pigmentation and dark spots appear more visible. UV rays stimulate melanin production, which may darken existing pigmentation and contribute to a more uneven-looking skin tone over time.
Can pollution contribute to uneven skin tone?
Yes, pollution can contribute to uneven skin tone and visible signs of skin ageing. Environmental stressors may affect the skin’s natural defenses, which can make discoloration and pigmentation appear more noticeable over time.
Can pigmentation fade over time?
Yes, some types of pigmentation may become less visible over time. Factors such as the cause of the pigmentation, sun exposure, and overall skincare habits can all influence how noticeable pigmentation appears and how it changes over time.
Can skincare help improve the appearance of pigmentation?
Yes, a consistent skincare routine can help improve the appearance of pigmentation and uneven skin tone over time. Supporting skin renewal, protecting against environmental stressors, and maintaining a healthy skin barrier can help skin appear more even-looking and radiant.
What ingredients can help support a more even-looking skin tone?
Ingredients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, niacinamide, and antioxidants are commonly used to support a more even-looking skin tone. These ingredients can help support skin renewal, improve the appearance of discoloration, and promote a more radiant-looking complexion.
