Depigmenting or skin lightening agents are products whose function is to reduce the coloring of the skin.

This manifests itself through aging or continued exposure to the sun. The molecule responsible is melanin, a pigment produced by tyrosine, an essential amino acid.

This is also responsible for protecting the skin from the sun's UV rays.

Why does hyperpigmentation occur on the skin?

All skin spots are produced by an excess, defect or absence of skin pigments. There may be an increase in melanin production from existing melanocytes (cells responsible for producing melanin), or an increase in the appearance of active melanocytes.

There are two types of melanins:

1. EUMELINES: called “photoprotective melanin”, is responsible for protection against UV rays and is present in greater proportion in people with dark skin.

2. FEOMELANINS: also called "red or pink melanin", in greater quantities in people with fair skin.

These do not protect against UV rays.

Depending on the skin type, a greater amount of one or another melanin will be generated, determining the color of the skin and its tanning ability.

How does skin pigmentation occur?

1- UV rays and biological mediators (molecules present in skin cells) stimulate pigmentation and therefore the production capacity of meloncytes. main

2- The melanocyte produces melanin.

3- Melanin migrates towards the layers of the epidermis.

4- Melanin reaches the most superficial layers of the skin thanks to the constant and natural renewal of the epidermis. Therefore, the stain appears on the surface.

Skin spots appear when melanin production abnormally increases and it does not spread evenly across the skin's surface, accumulating in certain spots on the skin. Continuous exposure to the sun generates excess melanin.

In addition, the risk of hyperpigmentation increases as cells age.

How to avoid the appearance of spots on the skin?

• Use of sun protection.
• Use a cream with SPF depending on skin type.
• Avoid exposure during peak radiation hours.
• Use cosmetics that diffuse existing spots and slow down extreme melanin synthesis.

Bleaching ingredients inhibit excessive melanin formation which causes the creation of new spots.
