Daily factors, such as exposure to UV rays, taking medications or certain professional treatments, trigger the production of melanin in the deepest layers of the epidermis. However, this excess melanin is visible on the surface of the skin, thus causing visible pigment spots. Age spots can manifest themselves in various ways, for example as acne scars or stubborn brown spots on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip.

Discoloration Defense Serum is a new generation anti-dark spot serum which contains a trio of powerful active ingredients, including the unique tranexamic acid, to prevent and correct pigment spots.

MAIN INGREDIENTS

• 1.8% tranexamic acid
Acts at the source and deactivates inflammatory mediators and reduces the activity of melanocytes in the basal layer.
• 5% niacinamide
Water-soluble form of essential vitamin B3, also called nicotinamide, this molecule prevents the transfer of excess melanin to the surface of the epidermis. It acts on the stage of melanogenesis. Already known for its soothing and healing action, niacinamide has been shown to inhibit the transfer of melanin from melanocytes to keratinocytes.
• 5% of hepes
Exfoliates excess pigmented cells existing on the surface of the skin (keratolytic action).
