Hyperpigmentation is the presence of dark spots on the skin and an increasingly recurrent problem in our daily life. There are several causes that influence the appearance and worsening of these dark spots (genetics, hormonal changes, skin aging), but sun exposure is undoubtedly the main one! Thus, the demand for effective solutions at this time of year is increasing among our consumers.
However, we know that spot-eliminating treatments can be aggressive and difficult to tolerate for sensitive skins, so there was a need for Sensilis to create a product line that would be effective, safe and well tolerated by this type of skin – Skin D-Pigment. This new range will act by correcting and preventing hyperpigmentations of any kind: chloasma or melasma, solar and senile lentigos.
Skin D-Pigment consists of two products that are highly effective by working together in the various stages of stain formation: melanin synthesis, migration and accumulation in the stratum corneum.
Skin D-Pigment [Serum ATX B3] is the latest depigmenting serum with Tranexamic Acid and Niacinamide tested on hyperpigmented sensitive skin. The Tranexamic Acid, with Azeloglycine and Ascorbic Acid that are in the composition of this serum, will inhibit the synthesis of melanin, acting at the root of the problem, avoiding the appearance of new spots and the aggravation of existing ones. Niacinamide will also contribute to the lightening of existing stains and the uniformity of skin tone by acting in the transfer and rise stage of melanin to the surface.
Another advantage of this product is that it can be used all year round, for all types of skin (it is non-comedogenic), in the morning and night routine, after hygiene.
The results are noticeable after 28 days of use, and after 2 months a reduction of 18% of visible dark spots was achieved1.
At night, every other day, Skin D-Pigment [AHA 10 Overnight] should be introduced. This product is an intensive depigmenting care consisting of 10% polyhydroxyacids.
Polihydroxyacids are a new generation of acids, less irritating and better tolerated, which makes them ideal for sensitive skin.
At Sensilis it is used Gluconolactone and Maltobionic Acid, that with their exfoliating and renewing power will allow an improvement in the luminosity, thickness and softness of the skin. Gluconolacone also has anti-inflammatory properties and helps strengthen the skin barrier, an extremely important point for sensitive and/sensitized skin.
This product also has active ingredients such as Alpha-Arbutin, a derivative of Hydroquinone, highly effective for inhibiting tyrosinase (a key enzyme in the melanin synthesis process) and Liposomed Alagic Acid, which most remarkable virtue is to provide a great illuminating and homogenizing effect of skin tone due to its anti-oxidant and melanogenesis-inhibitor action.
The results are amazing in the first month, obtaining a reduction in pigmentation of 42.7% and an improvement of luminosity of 40.6% after 2 months of use (as seen in the image below)2.
It is very important not to forget the use of daily photoprotection to prevent photoaging and all damage caused by sun exposure. In the case of hyperpigmented sensitive skin, Sensilis has a specific solution – Photocorrection [D-Pigment 50 +]. An anhydrous mousse with color that will allow the uniformization of the skin tone, with protection 50+ UVA, UVB and Blue Light, which also contributes to the correction of the spots by having in its composition actives such as Salvia sclarea and Vitamin C stabilized.
In this way, Sensilis defines a simple, complete and highly effective routine for hyperpigmented sensitive skin:
Morning: Apply Skin D-Pigment [Serum ATX B3] on clean and dry skin of face, neck and neckline and perform a gentle massage to increase its absorption (the product should not be used around the eyes). Then apply Photocorrection [D-Pigment 50 +] in the same areas and re-apply every 2 hours throughout the day.
Night: Every other day, apply at night on clean and dry skin a good amount (like a mask) of Skin D-Pigment [AHA 10 Overnight], and let act all night. Alternate with the Skin D-Pigment [Serum ATX B3] application.
All products have a light texture, with fast absorption and a very pleasant hypoallergenic perfume, which makes this a very sensory routine.
So, if you have sensitive skin and are looking for a more bright, uniform and smooth skin, do not hesitate to try!
