Best Fixes for Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is something that everyone wants to avoid as a clear complexion is one of the defining qualities of beautiful skin. Having darker skin, I have to be careful to avoid irritation, inflammation and acne. I do get the occasional pimple and when I do it tends to leave some hyperpigmentation even when it is not extracted. One of my favorite product lines is Image Skincare. Their products are effective, work well on any skin color, contains wonderful ingredients and are more importantly, affordable. It is oil-free and will lighten freckles, melasma and age spots. I use Image Skincare "Ageless Total Skin Lightening Serum" about two to three days a week. The main ingredients are rumex (tyrosinase inhibitor), mulberry (skin lightener), berry (skin lightener), kojic acid (skin lightener), licorice (natural skin lightener), L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C antioxidant) and arbutin (prevents the formation of melanin). I apply this to my entire face, neck and decollete and ALWAYS apply sunscreen after use because it is sun sensitive.

If you are in the market for a skin lightener look for ingredients with kojic acid, mulberry, bearberry, magnesium phosphate, rumex, aspergillus ferment, ergothioneine, gluconic acid, zinc glycinate, kiwi fruit, ferula foetida (giant fennel). Dermalogica has a line called "ChromaWhite TRx" that contains many of these ingredients.
