Melanin is a pigment responsible for producing colour in skin and when skin is insulted by aggressors, such as UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, inflammation, or other skin injuries, including those related to acne, it produces excess melanin as a protective response. This excess melanin results in the appearance of dark spots and discolourations. People with darker Asian, Mediterranean, or African skin tones are also prone to skin discolouration, especially if they experience excess sun exposure.

Caused by years of chronic UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations, and inflammation, ageing skin develops more discolorations, faster. These stubborn discolorations are deeply rooted making them susceptible to reoccurrence, even when treated. This comprehensive corrective regimen systematically treats skin discolorations through multiple modes of action to provide dramatic results.
