Collection: CONCERN - PIGMENTATION

Pigmentation occurs when melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour, is produced or distributed unevenly in the skin.

There can be different contributing factors, including:

• sun and UV exposure
  
• marks left behind after spots or inflammation
  
• hormonal changes
  
• melasma
  
• skin injury or irritation
  
• changes that become more visible over time
  

This matters because two people can both describe their concern as “pigmentation” while needing very different approaches.

Choosing skincare for pigmentation

Depending on your skin and the type of discolouration you are experiencing, a routine may include products chosen to support:

• a brighter-looking complexion
  
• more even-looking skin tone
  
• the appearance of dark spots
  
• post-blemish marks
  
• dull or uneven-looking skin
  
• healthy skin renewal
  
• antioxidant support
  
• daily protection from UV exposure
  

The products in this collection have been brought together to make it easier to explore formulas relevant to pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

Why daily protection matters

If pigmentation is a concern, it makes little sense to focus only on corrective products while overlooking daily protection.

UV exposure can contribute to the development and darkening of visible pigmentation, which is why appropriate broad-spectrum sun protection is such an important part of a pigmentation-focused routine.

And it is not only about hot weather or holidays. Consistency matters throughout the year.

A routine designed to improve the appearance of uneven tone should consider both sides of the picture: supporting the skin you see now while helping to limit avoidable triggers that can make pigmentation more noticeable.

Pigmentation is rarely a quick fix

This is one of the areas where skincare marketing can create unrealistic expectations.

Visible pigmentation often develops over time, and improving its appearance usually requires patience and consistency. Introducing multiple strong products at once is not necessarily the fastest route, particularly if irritation creates another problem for the skin.

A better approach is to choose products that make sense together, use them consistently and review the routine as the skin changes.

Not all pigmentation is the same

Dark spots, post-blemish marks, melasma and other forms of discolouration can look similar but may have different underlying causes.

If pigmentation is new, changing, persistent or you are unsure what you are looking at, seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional before attempting to manage it with skincare alone. Any new or changing mole or skin lesion should be medically assessed.

Once the concern is better understood, skincare can play an important role in supporting a more even-looking complexion.
