Melasma & Pigmentation

Discolouration comes in kinds that behave quite differently. Post-inflammatory marks, left behind by a spot or a scratch, fade on their own given time and sun protection.

Melasma is hormonal, sits deeper and returns, which makes it a management problem rather than a curable one. Tranexamic acid, vitamin C, azelaic acid and niacinamide all help, slowly. Sunscreen is not optional here: without it, nothing else in this category works.
