If your spots are primarily due to melasma or lentigo, every day, morning and evening, apply to clean, dry skin our hyperpigmentation serum with 2% alpha arbutin and lemon extract (INCI: Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Water). We recommend using this serum daily, morning and evening, for a minimum duration of 6 weeks in order to observe its effects on the reduction of your pigmentation spots.
Vitamin C is also a powerful multifunctional antioxidant and brightening agent that helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Thus, during your morning and/or evening beauty routine, you can apply several treatments enriched with vitamin C. On clean, dry skin, after cleansing, first apply the brightening toner with vitamin C, which also contains lemon verbena water (INCI: Lippia Citriodora Leaf Water) for a light fruity scent. Concentrated in active ingredients to regulate the skin's pH, brighten the complexion, and reduce the appearance of pigmentation spots, this toner is applied with a cotton pad over the entire face, avoiding the eye contour, and does not need to be rinsed off. You can then use next the face brightening serum highly concentrated in vitamin C (11%). This treatment also contains 3% of extract ofAlbizia julibrissin (INCI: Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract). This Asian-origin plant revitalizes the skin. Together, these ingredients help slow down photo-aging and prevent the appearance of brown spots. Moreover, in the morning, if you want to even out your complexion for the day, our tinted serum is also enriched with vitamin C and provides light coverage and a natural finish to the skin.
Exfoliate your skin daily with A.H.A. (alpha-hydroxy acids) or B.H.A. (beta-hydroxy acids).
These molecules eliminate keratinocytes by breaking ionic bonds, thereby destabilizing the stratum corneum and causing its gradual detachment. The most common AHAs are theglycolic acid and thelactic acid. Glycolic acid, being smaller in size than lactic acid, penetrates deeper into the epidermis, hence its greater potential for irritation. For this reason, chemical peels based on lactic acid are recommended for the most sensitive skin types. Thus, depending on your skin's reactivity, you can use the gentle peeling serum Lactic Acid 10% + Acerola extract or the exfoliating serum Glycolic Acid 10%. Without rinsing, these treatments stimulate cellular renewal.
The most common B.H.A. in cosmetics is thesalicylic acid. Its antibacterial properties make it an active ingredient of choice for the chemical exfoliation of combination to oily skin with imperfections. After your skin cleansing, to rebalance the skin pH, you can thus use our purifying toner with 1% salicylic acid.
Exfoliate your face and body with suitable skincare treatments.
Mechanical exfoliation also allows for the removal of dead cells laden with melanin. Unlike the chemical exfoliation mentioned earlier, exfoliation is performed on a weekly basis to avoid damaging the hydrolipidic film. For the face, we recommend the brightening scrub. This melting gel with micro-grains of apricot kernels, unclogs pores and promotes cell renewal, for smooth skin, an even and luminous complexion. For the body, opt for the nourishing scrub, particularly suitable for dry and uncomfortable skin.
