Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark patches to appear on the face. These patches are often brown or gray and can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Melasma is more common in women, especially during pregnancy or while taking birth control pills. It can also be triggered by sun exposure, stress, and certain medications.
What Causes Melasma?
The exact cause of melasma is unknown, but it is thought to be related to an increase in melanin production. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its color. Several factors may contribute to melasma, including:
- Hormonal changes: Melasma is more common in women, likely due to hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, puberty, or while taking birth control pills.
- Sun exposure: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can trigger or worsen melasma.
- Genetics: Some people may be genetically predisposed to developing melasma.
- Medications: Certain medications, such as anticonvulsants and tetracycline antibiotics, can increase the risk of melasma.
- Stress: Emotional stress may contribute to the development of melasma.
Why Incellderm Products Can Help
Incellderm offers a range of skincare products that can help improve the appearance of melasma. It's important to know that melasma is a complex clinical condition. While our products are designed to address common hyperpigmentation and dark spots, melasma often requires more targeted treatment. Dermatologists frequently recommend stronger topicals like tretinoin or hydroquinone. We encourage you to explore our gentler formulations and patented complexes, but please understand they are not intended as a medical treatment for melasma. "Youthful Radiance" was central to our Chairman, Mr. Ahn's vision for Incellderm. As a result, nearly all of our products are formulated with natural brightening and lightening ingredients to help you achieve that help to brighten the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, protect the skin from sun damage, and give you that luminous glow.
Incellderm Radiansome™ 100 for Melasma
For those seeking a powerful solution to hyperpigmentation without the concern of sensitive skin, the Radiansome™ 100 line is a game-changer. This line employs cutting-edge nanoliposomal delivery, a sophisticated technology that precisely targets areas of hyperpigmentation and directly reaches melanocytes—the cells responsible for pigment production. This targeted approach maximizes efficacy, delivering noticeable results. Each product in the Radiansome™ 100 line is further enhanced with our proprietary Vita-Complex, a potent blend of five radiance-boosting vitamins, including Vitamin C and Niacinamide, known for their brightening and skin-evening properties. Additionally, our exclusive RK-Snowflake ingredient, a powerful antioxidant, works diligently to reduce melanin overproduction, addressing the root cause of hyperpigmentation. This combination of advanced delivery and potent ingredients makes the Radiansome™ 100 line a compelling choice for achieving a brighter, more even complexion.
Incellderm EX for Melasma
Even those with sensitive skin can achieve a brighter complexion with our Incellderm EX line. While it might offer a more general, overall brightening effect compared to the targeted approach of our Radiansome™ 100 line, it still delivers noticeable results. This line incorporates potent brightening ingredients like ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and niacinamide, both known for their ability to even skin tone and enhance radiance. Furthermore, the EX line features our hero ingredient, Giant BYoungPool, which has undergone testing and demonstrated efficacy in reducing hyperpigmentation. This makes the EX line a suitable option for individuals seeking a gentle yet effective approach to brightening, allowing them to enjoy a more luminous complexion without compromising their sensitive skin's comfort.
