Frequently Asked Questions
Hyperpigmentation is characterised by brown patches that are darker in colour than the surrounding skin. It can be influenced by inflammation, resulting in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and also by sun exposure. The latter deepens the melanin in areas where melasma, freckles, and solar lentigo may be present.
Hyperpigmentation is caused by an excess of melanin production. Several different conditions or lifestyle factors can influence this overproduction, but the most common are sun exposure or trauma to the skin.

Melasma is a form of hyperpigmentation driven by hormonal changes in the body. Melasma is often identified by symmetrical brown patches on the upper lip, orbital bone, cheeks, and sometimes a circular patch in the centre of the forehead. A Dermatologist can diagnose this skin condition and prescribe skincare or topical medication to assist in breaking down excess melanin in the skin.
Skin brightening actives, such as Vitamin B and C, are commonly recommended to those experiencing hyperpigmentation during pregnancy. It is also suggested to double down on SPF Formulations during the day.
In the evening, a good cleansing Ritual will help to ensure your barrier function is working well. This could be followed by a gentle dose of active ingredients—such as a low dose of Hydroxy Acids or Peptides, and a Vitamin A alternative such as Bakuchiol—to increase cellular turnover.
