Product Information:

The skin hyperpigmentation
Spots and Blemishes,
What is the reason for their appearance?

There are two basic types of pigment production; Constitutive pigment is the base melanin that forms our natural skin color, Facultative pigment is due to sun exposure as in tanning. Facultative pigment is further divided into immediate tanning, delayed tanning and is reversible. This is seen as your tan fades with time. Hyperpigmentation is the result of an over abundant production of Melanin (pigment) in the epidermis. The reasons for this overproduction are associated with solar radiation, injury, infection, and in women, pregnancy. Melanocytes are the cells in the epidermis which produce melanin. They deliver melanin through dendrites, which are octopus like arms that connect to surrounding keratinocytes. Melanocytes respond to sunlight by producing more melanin and more melanocytes. This is to protect the keratinocytes, one of the main reasons for melanin production. Melanosomes, which are a particle of melanin, form a shield over the nucleus of the living keratinocyte cells to prevent solar radiation damage.

Keep in mind that tanning is a protective mechanism, not a therapeutic mechanism, and that it is designed to help protect us against excessive solar radiation. Long term the effects of solar radiation will cause pigment to pool from leaking melanocytes. This is seen as “age spots”. In this case, the melanocyte has been damaged by UV exposure and needs to be repaired.

Hyperpigmentation in pregnancy occurs in about 90% of women. Blotchy hyperpigmentation on the face, called Melasma happens in about 70% of pregnant women. This is most likely due to hormonal changes that are aggravated by sun exposure.

Item Description

HOW TO REDUCE SKIN HYPERPIGMENTATION? The spots and blemishes removal To understand the possible treatments for hyperpigmentation it is necessary to understand a little about one of the enzymes that are responsible for melanin production. This enzyme is called Tyrosinase. Tyrosinase determines just how much melanin is produced. The majority of products available to treat hyperpigmentation inhibit tyrosinase. Tyrosinase inhibitors by reducing activity of the tyrosinase diminishes amount of melanine produced. In practice it can be seen as a skin whitening, diminishing the intensity or complete removal of the spots and blemishes. NATURAL ANTI-SPOTS AND BLEMISHES CREAM CONTAINS: Active ingredients: - Mulberry root extract(Morus alba) , natural tyrosinase inhibitor, with the active constituent: 2,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene 2-oxyresveratrol. - Bearberry leaf extract(Arctostaphylos uva ursi), natural tyrosinase inhibitor with the active constituent: arbutin. - Combava essential oil (Citrus hystrix), - Zinc oxide, Titanium dioxide. Other ingredients: - Talc, Lanoline, Vaseline, Bee wax, Almond oil, Glycerine, Propylene glycol, Vitamin E. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Natural Anti-Spots and Blemishes cream, contains tyrosinase inhibitors , as an active ingredients of the mulberry root (Morus alba), and bearberry leaf (Arctostaphylos uva ursi) extracts, which acting on tha basis of synergy and by the competitive way, diminish of the tyrosinase activity, and thus a melanine production, which lead to the final skin whitening and spots and blemishes removal. The combava essential oil (Citrus hystrix) acts as a natural detergent, removing of the surface layer of the dead cells containing of the surplus of melanine, making possible of the faster renewal of the new young cells containing a less melanine. Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide form a physical barrier to the sunrays in the range from 290 nm to 700 nm, and in the natural way protect the skin from the harmful effects of the UVA and UVB radiation. This is especially important because by losing the melanine as a sun protector, skin becomes a more vulnerable to the harmful effects of the UVA and UVB radiation. THE WAY OF APPLICATION: Twice a day in the morning and in the evening, apply the cream on the area of the spots and blemishes and rub firmly. Make sure that cream has absorbed well. The first sign of whitening usually appears after 5 to 7 days from the start of application, and full effect achieves for 12 to 15 days. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Not known. UNDESIRABLE EFFECTS: Not known.
