Fighting Pigmentation (Melasma)
What is pigmentation or Melasma?
Pigmentation is a hyperpigmentation of the skin, often located on the face (cheeks, forehead, upper lip). It appears as irregular brown spots. This pigment imbalance mainly affects women, often triggered by:
hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control)
sun exposure
skin inflammation (post-acne, post-hair removal)
Why choose Korean skincare to treat melasma?
K-beauty is renowned for its gentle, progressive, and highly effective routines. Korean formulations prioritize:
powerful but non-aggressive active ingredients
