Recommendations for Pigmented Skin Care
The appearance of pigmentation indicates a decrease in the skin’s antioxidant activity. It is recommended to include antioxidant products (Vitamin C, Vitamin E, plant extracts) in your daily routine:
Vitamins C+E Antioxidant Serum.

Whitening procedures are best scheduled during the autumn–winter season or on cloudy days. In summer, UV protection (SPF 30–50) is essential.
To enhance the effect, it is recommended to improve microcirculation and lymphatic flow. Lymphatic drainage massage and gua sha are effective for this purpose.
