Dark spots, or hyperpigmentation, are a common skin problem that can seem difficult to combat. These unwanted marks, which appear due to an overproduction of melanin, can also be aggravated by environmental factors such as free radicals, particularly those from pollution and UV radiation. These unstable molecules attack healthy cells, accelerating skin aging and causing uneven skin tone.
Why do pigment spots appear?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when your skin produces excess melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This overproduction can be triggered by several factors, such as:
– Sun exposure: UV rays stimulate the production of melanin, leading to the appearance of brown spots, commonly known as “sun spots” or “solar lentigines”.
– Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations, especially during pregnancy or due to the use of hormonal contraceptives, can also lead to dark spots, known as “pregnancy mask” or melasma.
– Skin trauma: Acne scars, injuries or other skin inflammation can leave dark marks after healing.
– Age: With age, the skin’s ability to regenerate and repair damage decreases. Skin cells turn over less quickly, and DNA repair mechanisms become less effective. This means that damage from UV rays and other environmental aggressors is more likely to leave visible marks, such as age spots.
As we age, our bodies produce more free radicals that can damage skin cells. These free radicals contribute to skin oxidation, which not only accelerates skin ageing but also promotes the appearance of dark spots.
Finally, skin ageing is also marked by a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that are essential for skin firmness and elasticity. This loss can make skin thinner and more fragile, making it more likely to show signs of damage, including hyperpigmentation.
How do free radicals contribute to hyperpigmentation?
Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage skin cells, contributing to premature aging and the appearance of pigment spots. Pollution, tobacco and UV radiation are major sources of free radicals, thus increasing the need for antioxidant protection to maintain healthy and radiant skin.
How to fight hyperpigmentation?
At ABSOLOGY, we have developed COLLAGEN & SKIN DEFENCE, a supplement formulated with our patented Verisol® active ingredients, 5g of marine collagen peptides and Zeropollution®, a botanical extract rich in antioxidants.
These powerful ingredients are specially designed to:
– Compensate for the natural decrease in age-related collagen production, by providing the ideal dosage to your body (5g is sufficient for optimal action according to scientific studies)
– Strengthen your skin’s resistance to oxidative stress
– Reduce the skin’s inflammatory response to environmental stress, thus limiting the appearance of new spots.
What are the results obtained with COLLAGEN & SKIN DEFENCE?
Our clinical studies have revealed concrete and visible results:
– 98% of users observed a significant improvement in the radiance of their skin.
– 97% observed a visible reduction in brown spots.
The effects are rapid and measurable: after only two weeks of use, pigment spots are reduced by 8.2%. After three months, this reduction reaches 16.4%, with a 14% decrease in the intensity of pigmentation after eight weeks.
What advice should you follow for spot-free skin?
1. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to prevent the appearance of new spots and protect your skin from UV damage.
2. Well-hydrated skin is less prone to damage and premature aging. Choose moisturizers that are suited to your skin type.
3. Eat fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, such as citrus fruits, spinach, carrots and peppers, to fight free radicals from the inside.
4. Frequent touching of your face can transfer bacteria and worsen the condition of your skin. Try to limit this gesture to avoid infections and inflammation.
5. With COLLAGEN & SKIN DEFENCE from ABSOLOGY, say goodbye to pigment spots and regain radiant, firm and even skin. Join the thousands of satisfied customers who have already transformed their skin thanks to the Verisol® and Zeropollution® complexes.
