Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanocytes produce too much melanin, leading to uneven skin tone, dark spots, or discoloration. It can be triggered by UV exposure, inflammation, acne, injury, or hormonal changes. In the AgeBiome™ system, hyperpigmentation is addressed through biome-safe exfoliation, collagen repair, and antioxidant support—without triggering further inflammation or rebound.

Why It’s Used:

  • Common visible marker of ageing, sun damage, or trauma
  • Helps explain post-inflammatory pigmentation (e.g., acne scars)
  • Validates use of brightening rituals and pigment-regulating actives
  • Requires consistent barrier-safe care, not aggressive bleaching
  • Often improved through DEJ support and cellular renewal
  • Balanced with antioxidants, peptides, and niacinamide

What It Means for You:

Hyperpigmentation is your skin’s overreaction to stress or damage—but with the right care, tone can become clear, even, and radiant again.
