WHAT IS PIGMENTATION & AGE SPOTS?
Pigment which is also known as melanin does more than provide a great all over tan. It prevents damage by the sun’s UV rays by absorbing and scattering UV light as well as scavenging free radicals, acting just like an antioxidant. So it’s a good thing to have.
Tyrosinase kick starts the production of melanin pigment inside the melanocytes (cell in the skin that produces and contains the pigment called melanin).
More tyrosinase - MORE pigmentation.
Less tyrosinase= less pigmentation.
So, we often try to INHIBIT tyrosinase!
WHAT IS ENLIGHTEN?
Our Enlighten is a twice a day 'active ingredient' moisturiser. It is a tyrosinase inhibitor (4-n-butylresorcinol – 0.1%) and an antioxidant (Niacinamide – 5%) based cream to lighten and brighten skin appearance and provide a more even skin tone.
Niacinamide provides visible improvements within 3 weeks. 4-n-butylresorcinol significantly improves outcomes after 2 – 3 months of continuous use. For management of hyperpigmentation and age spots.

TYPES OF PIGMENTATION
There are lots of different types of pigmentation problems; Melasma, actinic AKA senile lentigines or ‘age spots’, and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Melasma is excessive (hyper) pigmentation that typically looks like irregular pigmented patches on sun-exposed areas of skin, especially the face and neck. There are 2 types of melasma; Epidermal melasma (in the more superficial layers of the skin) tends to be light brown, and a dermatologist shining a Wood Lamp on it sees it light up. Dermal melasma (deeper in the skin) looks more grayish in colour and doesn’t light up under the Wood Lamp. It’s important to know which one you have because dermal melasma often doesn’t respond to topical treatments.
Solar (sometimes called actinic) lentigines happen in sun exposed skin, cropping up later in life, which is why they are sometimes called senile lentigines or age spots. You can get them on any sun exposed skin such as your forearms, face, neck, or the backs of the hands.
Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation appears as irregular, darkly pigmented skin where there has been some previous injury or inflammation, for example acne or nasty eczema, psoriasis, burns or even after laser, light therapy, or cryotherapy (liquid nitrogen).
What makes Enlighten the perfect moisturiser for those who want to target their pigmentation and age spots?
4-n-butylresorcinol
From studies, we know that 4NB is the most potent inhibitor of human tyrosinase available. Studies have shown great depigmentation effects at 0.1% twice daily and 0.3% once daily. How effective? 84% of people get significant reduction in their pigmentation, even when used alone. It is very well tolerated and can be used long term.
