Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is the flat, dark, or red discoloration left behind after an acne lesion heals. It is caused by excess melanin production during the skin’s inflammatory healing process.

So how does these 5 actives work to help them?

1. Vitamin c is a highly effective, evidence-backed treatment for Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). It helps fade dark spots by inhibiting tyrosinase (the enzyme that produces melanin) and neutralising free radicals that trigger inflammation.

2. Niacinamide works by interrupting the transfer of excess pigment (melanin) to your surface skin cells

3. Retinol accelerates cell turnover so pigmented cells shed faster, and it mildly inhibits the enzyme responsible for melanin production. With consistent use, it evens out skin tone and improves overall texture

4. Alpha Arbutin works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, safely reducing dark brown or black spots left behind by acne and inflammation.

5. Sunscreen is the foundational step in treating and preventing Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). UV rays and visible light stimulate melanocytes, making dark spots darker and extending their lifespan. Sunscreen prevents new pigment from forming and allows existing spots to fade naturally.
