An anti-pigment active discovered by Eucerin after researching the effect of 50,000 different compounds on their ability to inhibit human tyrosinase (which is involved in producing melanin, our skin’s pigment). Clinically proven to visibly reduce hyperpigmentation with just 2 weeks of use.

Renude

I've chosen this clinically proven serum for you to target hyperpigmentation. It contains the brands patented Thiamidol, which regulates tyrosinase (the enzyme which creates melanin), and is the first product on the market to actually have been tested on the human version of this enzyme (other products use mushroom tyrosinase instead, which can behave quite differently).

glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract

Liquorice is a legume which grows in the Mediterranean, the Middle East & Russia. It contains the active constituent glabridin, which has been shown to prevent and reverse UV-induced skin damage, to provide visible skin-lightening properties to the skin.

Its second active component, Glycyrrhetinic acid is used in skincare for its anti-inflammatory benefits. It works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory substances, such as cortisone, within the body, with some research showing results to be comparable to prescription hydrocortisone cream.

sodium ascorbyl phosphate

Vitamin C has many skin benefits, including its action as an antioxidant, to neutralise free radicals (reactive molecules with an unpaired electron), preventing them from causing damage to cells within the body. Vitamin C is also involved in the collagen-production process, so provides anti-wrinkle activity through this mechanism. Lastly, Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin-synthesis, and can therefore visibly reduce areas of hyperpigmentation in the skin.

Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid (a polysaccharide which occurs naturally in the body), created to improve the ingredient stability. It works as an extremely powerful humectant, able to attract 1000x its own weight in water, to immediately plump and hydrate the area it is applied to. The body’s own production of hyaluronic acid slows with age, so supplementing this ingredient in topical formulations helps to support the skin’s natural moisture-binding, anti-ageing mechanisms.

Thiamidol

Tocopherol, aka Vitamin E, is a fat-soluble Vitamin contained in many plant oils, or can also be produced synthetically. Vitamin E is found naturally in our own skin, and it’s main benefit is to offer powerful antioxidant protection against pollution and free radical damage. It also helps to support our skin’s natural lipid barrier, which in turn improves the hydration levels within the epidermis, as water loss through the skin is minimised.

Fight dark spots and prevent their reappearance with a double dose of the Eucerin Anti-Pigment Dual Serum; a dual-action concentrate that’s clinically and dermatologically proven to fade the look of hyperpigmentation over time. With regular use in a daily skincare regime, Eucerin’s studies claim that first results are visible after two weeks and improve continuously with regular use. A symptom of exposure to sunlight, hormonal influences and ageing, pigmentation is caused by an increase in melanin production, our body’s natural pigment that gives colour to skin, which can go into overdrive and create dark patches and age spots. Packaged in a twin-compartment bottle, the anti-pigment serum comprises a harmonious combination of Hyaluronic acid to drive moisture into skin and lock in lasting hydration, and Thiamidol, a patented ingredient that acts at the root cause of hyperpigmentation is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, helping prevent its re-appearance with regular usage. With consistent application of this hydrating concentrate combo, skin’s surface will feel smoother, lacklustre complexions are illuminated and dark spots appear lighter. Clinically and dermatologically-tested.

These formulas include a blend of actives to target multiple pathways that lead to visible hyperpigmentation (melanin production, transfer to skin cells etc).

Brightening serum picks

This targeted serum contains a host of brightening ingredients including niacinamide to prevent excess melanin transfer to the skin cells, alongside a blend of Aryuvedic botanicals such as Triphala to reduce visible pigmentation. Resorcinol works to inhibit excess melanin production to provide a multi-pathway approach to reducing areas of visible hyperpigmentation on the skin.

This dual-system serum from Eucerin has been clinically proven to reduce hyperpigmentation in the skin. After just 4 weeks use, 97% agreed that the product helps reduce dark spots, and 100% said it made skin look more radiant. The magic? Eucerin's patented Thiamidol, which helps to reduce visible hyperpigmentation and with regular use, prevents it from re-appearing.

This water-based formula includes a blend of 2% alpha arbutin and 1% kojic acid alongside niacinamide, vitamin c and mulberry extract. Each of these actives work to target different parts of the pigmentation pathway, so work synergistically to fade dark spots in the skin. An extremely potent formula for the price point. Fragrance and alcohol free.

This night cream is designed to work alongside the serum from the range to target hyperpigmentation. Using the same patented ingredient, Thiamidol, this has been clinically proven to improve results vs serum alone.

Panthenol is a form of Vitamin B5, which is converted into Pantothenic acid within the epidermis when applied topically. Its main benefit in cosmetics is as a humectant, meaning it can draw water molecules to it, hydrating and plumping the area it has been applied to.

Panthenol also supports the natural lipid barrier of the skin, by encouraging the production of a precursor to fatty acids & sphingolipids, both of which are essential parts of the skin barrier. This mechanism helps to moisturise the skin by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), therefore retaining more moisture within the skin. This also helps to reduce inflammation in dry or broken skin, as an intact skin barrier will prevent potential irritants from getting into the epidermis.

Squalane is a natural substance usually derived from olives. It is structurally very similar to our skin’s own sebum, so is a great ingredient to support our own natural skin processes. In drier skin, which is naturally lacking in natural sebum, it helps to support the skin barrier to prevent water loss, which results in more hydrated, smooth and plump skin. Due to its sebum-mimicking structure, it is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t cause breakouts, so is also suitable for oily and acne-prone skin. It can be a great option to reduce any over-stimulation of the sebaceous glands, which can occur with excess cleansing (and make breakouts worse). It also works to support the skin barrier to combat any drying effects caused by ingredients commonly associated with acne treatment, so is a great ingredient for all skin types.
