Hyperpigmentation: What it is, causes, and solutions

You may have heard about hyperpigmentation.  It is commonly referred to as age spots, brown spots, sun damage or discolouration.  As we age, our skin can develop these darker spots for a variety of reasons but the main one has to do with overexposure to ultraviolet light.  Hormonal changes during pregnancy can also be a cause.   Ultraviolet light and hormonal changes can cause our pigment producing cells (called melanocytes) to become more active.  The pigment that melanocytes produce is called melanin.  Melanin is what gives our skin, hair and eyes their colour.

For the most part and in the vast majority of cases, hyperpigmenation is harmless.  Still, some people don’t like getting things such as “age spots” and would rather not have them.  There are a number of treatment options for hyperpigmentation, such as topical depigmenting agents, chemical peels, cryosurgery, dermabrasion, and pigment-specific lasers.  While effective, these treatment methods are usually very costly and potentially damaging to the skin.  Fortunately, we have a solution!  LeSean Elegant Cream contains over 40 ingredients with unique properties that work to inhibit the tyrosinase enzyme, preventing the excess production of melanin. The result is a reduced appearance of hyperpigmentation as well as an accelerated epidermal turnover. (see Figure below).

LeSean Elegant Cream is an effective and more affordable option to the many expensive treatments available today.  Unlike other treatment options, LeSean Elegant Cream is all natural, free of fragrance and harmful synthetic compounds, including hydroquinone. As a cream, it is very easy to use, and blends seamlessly into the skin.  In addition to reducing hyperpigmentation, LeSean Elegant Cream has also been proven to reduce the size of pores, and brighten and even skin tone, giving your skin a natural, youthful appearance.  On top of all that, LeSean Elegant Cream is a very good moisturizer.
