Pigmentbio - Hyperpigmented skin

Phototype is based on a scale from I to VI, taking into account your skin, eye and hair color. The color of each person's skin depends on the amount of melanin, a pigment that is naturally produced by skin cells. The more melanin, the darker your skin. Skin pigmentation can vary depending on different internal and external factors. For example, exposure to UV rays triggers tanning, a biological protective reaction whereby the skin produces more melanin. With age, excessive UV exposure, certain medications, diseases or hormonal imbalances (during pregnancy or menopause), localized pigmentation spots can appear. This is known as hyperpigmentation. Scars, particularly from acne, and areas of friction may also lead to brown spots. Targeted hyperpigmentation and brightening products can help reduce their appearance.

Dermocosmetic products can help brighten and even the skin tone, targeting dark spots such as lentigo, age spots, sunspots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The formulas are designed to reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten the skin, restoring radiance. Brightening products for brown spots generally contain vitamin C, glabridine, AHAs and BHAs. In the BIODERMA Pigmentbio range, these active ingredients are combined with exclusive LumirevealÔ technology, inspired by Kligman's trio (hydroquinone, retinoic acid and corticosteroid) – recommended by many dermatologists. For intense complexion correction, use PIGMENTBIO C-CONCENTRATE brightening serum as the first step of your daily skincare routine. 

Some products may contain ingredients that irritate the skin. Make sure you choose dermatologically tested products that meet regulatory safety standards. BIODERMA’s Pigmentbio range combines efficacy and high tolerance to reduce hyperpigmentation while preserving the skin barrier. The different skincare products can be used alone or as part of a complete skincare routine all year round. 

Skin lightening and hyperpigmentation skincare aims to reduce melanin production in the skin and the appearance of brown spots, whether lentigines, age spots, sunspots, melasma or post-inflammatory spots from acne scars. Some products target localized hyperpigmentation spots, while others aim to brighten the complexion and restore radiance. Brightening skincare products come in a variety of formats including serums, moisturizing day creams, night creams and exfoliating cleansing foams. The most effective active ingredients are vitamin C and niacinamide as well as active ingredients that stimulate cell renewal, such as AHAs and BHAs. BIODERMA's Pigmentbio range also uses saccharide isomerate, an effective ingredient for promoting skin cell renewal. 

It’s important to have an adapted skincare routine that targets hyperpigmentation.  Choose a day-time care product and night cream tailored to your specific needs, whether you have localized brown spots, melasma or your skin lacks radiance. Several times a year, why not give your skin a boost with an intensive treatment like PIGMENTBIO C-CONCENTRATE SERUM? Remember to always protect your skin from UV rays that activate melanin production – which can cause or aggravate dark spots. To prevent or reduce the appearance of brown spots on friction areas – such as knees, elbows, armpits, thighs and intimate areas – try using PIGMENTBIO SENSITIVE AREAS, a very well-tolerated product, that reduces melanin production and hyperpigmentation, while also brightening and evening the skin.
