Edit How to treat pigmentation

<p class=""><strong>Tyrosinase Inhibitors</strong></p> <p class="">The enzyme tyrosinase is responsible for the amount of melanin produced in your skin. Tyrosinase inhibitors suppress how much melanin is produced, helping to put a stop to hyperpigmentation. Using these active ingredients in your skincare is a preventative measure against future occurrences of pigmentation.</p> <p class="">Types of tyrosinase inhibitors to look out for in skincare products include azelaic acid, L-ascorbic acid, arbutin, hydroquinone and retinoids.</p> <p class="">Remember to always use <a href="/treatment/tretinoin-hydroquinone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">medical-grade skincare</a>, as high street alternatives often do not have the required percentage of active ingredients to see results. Some medical-grade skincare solutions are only available by prescription, so it’s important to consult a properly trained expert about the best options for you.</p> <p class=""><strong>Retinoids</strong></p> <p class="">Speaking of retinoids, I can’t recommend this wonder ingredient enough, and retinol is something I’ve frequently recommended in a well-rounded daily skincare routine. Like microneedling, retinol can improve a variety of skin complaints, and in the case of hyperpigmentation, helps to prevent the over-production of melanin, as well as giving you a clearer, smoother complexion.</p> <p class="">It’s important to build up your resistance to retinol, and apply it in the evenings only, as your skin is extra sensitive after use.</p>
