Effective on all types of spots, this new facial mask promises to fade them in just 5 days. Formula, application, results, we tell you everything about this anti-dark spot facial treatment.
Caused by an overproduction of melanin, pigment spots affect women of all ages at different times in their lives. While they can be caused by exposure to the sun or by hormonal fluctuations, they are often linked to natural aging of the skin. Indeed, over time, the production of the tyrosinase enzyme decreases, which leads to an imbalance in the conversion of tyrosine into melanin and the appearance of pigment spots.
There are different types of pigment spots: “age” spots (or solar lentigo linked to prolonged exposure to the sun and skin aging), melasma (mask of pregnancy caused by a hormonal upheaval) and the residual spots due to acne. And it’s not always easy to fade them… The solutions? Prevent their appearance by protecting the skin from the sun, using anti-stain treatments and carrying out skin peels. Good news, the Dermalogica brand is launching a new peeling face mask, the Powerbright dark spot peel, which promises to fade all types of pigment spots in just 5 days. Active ingredients, effects on the skin, instructions for use, we tell you everything about this anti-dark spot facial treatment.
