HYPERPIGMENTATION & TACHES PIGMENTAIRES
Avez-vous l’impression que votre peau a un teint irrégulier, des taches plus foncées ? Ou peut-être qu’elle a l’air terne et qu’elle manque de son éclat naturel ?
THE CAUSES OF HYPERPIGMENTATION
Pigmentation disorders are linked to a malfunction of melanin which causes either hyperpigmentation (dark spots) or depigmentation of the skin (lighter spots).
Multiple internal and external factors can explain the triggering of this hyperpigmentation:
- The environment can attack your skin. This is the case of pollution and UV rays in the event of excessive exposure to the sun;
- les cicatrices d’acné, les déséquilibres hormonaux, la prédisposition génétique ou maladie comme le vitiligo ou l’albinisme, qui relève d’une prise en charge médicale.
- Brown spots may be linked to phototoxic substances and skin damage. In the event of exposure to the sun, certain plants (plant essences), certain perfumes or medicines can cause the appearance of brown spots resulting from a photosensitization reaction (phototoxicity).
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: damaged or scarred skin (aftereffects of burns, sunburn, healing of inflammatory lesions, particularly acne) will more easily develop pigment spots if exposed to UV rays.
- The stress. Stress hormones can produce inflammation which leads to the production of free radicals and causes extra pigmentation.
There are also internal factors that are more difficult to control, aging or pregnancy.
Whatever the cause of your hyperpigmentation, it is always at the root of a pigmentation disorder.
OUR BEAUTY ROUTINE
WHAT SHOULD I DO ON DAILY BASIS ?
- Protect yourself from the sun to avoid the appearance of pigmented spots or their aggravation.
- Avoid harsh cosmetics that can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Use dietary supplements orally (gélules ou comprimés) avant et pendant l’exposition pour mieux préparer votre peau au soleil.
BEAUTY PRODUCTS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS ARE YOUR BEST ALLIES !
- Vitamin C, in its fresh and active form, helps intensively reduce melanin production;
- Vitamin E protects the skin from pollution and oxidative stress which promote premature skin aging, the first signs of which are spots;
- Vitamin PP rebuilds the skin barrier and thus provides lasting hydration to the skin.
- AHAs/BHAs (acides glycolique et salicylique) offre une efficacité qui n’agresse pas la peau et qui ne la dessèche pas.
- Niacinamide (or nicotinamide, sometimes also called vitamin B3 to simplify – vitamin B3, or niacin, in fact includes nicotinamide and nicotinic acid) is an ingredient that acts both in the prevention of hyperpigmentation and in its correction

Aggressive cosmetic treatments or chemical peels are also likely to trigger a skin intolerance reaction, which manifests as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Once again, this type of hyperpigmentation affects both women and men, at all ages and regardless of skin type. But darker skin types are more affected and often more severely.
Glycolic acid is an acid categorized among AHAs or fruit acid used for its keratolytic properties (qui a la propriété de dissoudre ou de ramollir la couche cornée de l’épiderme). Considered one of the key active ingredients in chemical exfoliation, this active ingredient is capable of eliminating dead skin cells to promote skin cell renewal. Glycolic acid is recommended for the treatment of combination to oily and blemished skin. On the other hand, it is not recommended for sensitive and atopic skin. In addition to the keratolytic effect, glycolic acid also participates in the hydration of the surface of the skin.
WHAT IS SKIN PIGMENTATION ?
There are 2 types of melanin:
Eumelanins
Plus connues sous le terme de « vraie mélanine », elles sont de couleur noire ou marron foncé et présentes chez les personnes à la peau mate (elles protègent des UV).
Phaeomelanins
On les appelle également « mélanine rouge ou rousse ». Elles sont présentes chez les sujets à la peau claire ou chez les roux (elles ne protègent pas des UV, au contraire leur synthèse génère des radicaux libres agressifs pour la peau).
A variable proportion of these two types of melanins are present in each individual. It determines the natural color of the skin and the tan produced by exposure to the sun.
HOW DOES SKIN PIGMENTATION WORK ?
- Ultraviolet rays and “biological mediators” (substances present in skin cells) stimulate the pigmentation process and, therefore, the melanin-producing function of cells called “melanocytes”.
- Melanin is produced by melanocytes.
- The melanin thus produced is diffused into the layers of the epidermis.
- It then migrates to the surface of the skin due to the permanent renewal of epidermis cells.
THE ROLE OF MELANIN IN COMPLEXION RADIANCE
Indeed, UV rays cross the epidermis and stimulate tyrosinase and its mediators. Tyrosinase stimulated by UV and especially UVB is the main enzyme responsible for the production of melanin in cells called melanocytes.
Sometimes some melanocytes do not stop and continue to secrete melanin tirelessly. These abnormal amounts of melanin are distributed irregularly across the surface of the skin and accumulate to form darker areas, which are actually scattered patches of hyperpigmentation.
Moreover, the risk of hyperpigmentation increases as cells age and typically occurs in areas with more sun exposure over time (face, neck, hands, etc.). The sun and age are therefore the main factors of pigment spots. We speak interchangeably of “solar lentigo” or “senile lentigo”. Lentigo affects 90% of white people over the age of 50. All skin types are concerned.
- The solution : systematic photoprotection during the sunniest months, combined with responsible behavior in the sun. Protect yourself from the sun to avoid the appearance of pigmented spots or their worsening.
