Skin lightening & brightening can be achieved with topicals. Here are some of my favourite over the counter agents🛒 . 🌤Sunscreens: Prevention is 90% of this game. Favs? la roche posay, invisible zinc , melan130 from mesoestetic . 👍🏻Retinol works by increasing cell turnover, think of it a chemical exfoliant. Retinoids can also reduce pigment production in the skinRefer to previous posts for application guidelines . . 🍊Ascorbic acid or vitamin C is both an antioxidant & a skin lightener . It works by decreasing pigment output by the pigment cells in skin (melanocytes). The best form of #vitaminC is known as L-Ascorbic Acid, concentrations ranging from 10-20%. . 🍏Arbutin is an organic skin lightening agent, however in the majority of cases it is made in the lab; namely alpha #arbutin. Arbutin works by decreasing the activity of melanocytes. . 🍋Glycolic Acid: Works as an exfoliant. Other skincare acids include lactic acid and salicylic acid. My hand picked recommendations are available through @theformulated . 🎬Action: Most forms of #pigmentation can be improved with topicals, chemical peels, & gentle laser treatments such as dermal toning, fraxel & pico lasers.

Majority of light pigmentation can be faded with correct over the counter preparations. The most important factor in treating pigmentation is to have a diagnosis. Some forms of pigmentation such as #melasma require specialist management, whilst freckles & sun spots are easier to treat. . .
