Skincare for Pigmentation

Not all pigmentation is the same. Sun spots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) have different causes, sit at different depths and respond to different treatments, and the wrong approach can make some types worse. Sun protection is the treatment, not the aftercare.

Pigmentation skincare is not a pick and mix. Skincare alone does not replace a skin assessment and a personalised plan from our experienced dermal clinicians, who use a Wood's lamp to see how deep your pigment sits. Tyrosinase inhibitors are used before treatment to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation and after treatment to maintain results, alongside Plump and Glow peels, skin needling and IPL in clinic. Any spot that is changing should be checked by a GP first.

Our nurse and dermal clinician picks

  • Key homecare: iS Clinical Brightening Complex and Brightening Serum. The iS Clinical range carries many tyrosinase inhibitors, and these two are central to our pigmentation plans.
  • Pigmentation and post-blemish marks: Dermaceutic Dual+, our go-to for pigmentation and post-blemish marks.
  • Targeted night care: Dermaceutic Mela Cream, a night cream for the look of pigmentation, sun-related patches and post-inflammatory marks.
  • Gentle daily serum: Skinbetter Science Even Tone Correcting Serum, formulated without hydroquinone or retinol for skin that does not tolerate stronger actives.
  • Daily protection: An AIRYDAY sunscreen or Dermaceutic K Ceutic, every morning, including winter.
