Brightening Care

Pigment spots appear when melanin production goes out of balance – through sun, inflammation (post-acne) or hormones (melasma). Brightening care works in two directions at once: it slows down new melanin and helps the existing spot exfoliate away faster.

PURE LAB stocks brightening care for pigment spots and uneven tone.

Actives that work on pigmentation:

• Vitamin C – an antioxidant that slows melanin production.
• Niacinamide – limits the transfer of pigment to the surface.
• Tranexamic acid – especially useful for melasma.
• AHA acids and retinol – speed up how fast a spot sheds.

None of them works without sun protection: SPF 50 every day is the most important step in pigment care.
