Natural solutions to reduce pigment spots on the face

Pigmentation spots, also called brown spots, affect about 80% of women, regardless of their skin type and age.

A pigment spot usually forms on the face, neck, décolleté, and hands.

Most often this phenomenon of hyperpigmentation is completely benign, but for aesthetic reasons many of us want to see them disappear.

Thanks to dietary supplements, it is possible to naturally prevent and reduce these pigment spots and regain an even and radiant complexion!

A. Brown spot on face

Pigmentation spots are the result of hyperpigmentation characterized by uneven skin pigmentation. It is a common skin condition caused by an overproduction of melanin by our cells, called melanocytes.

Melanin is the natural pigment that colors our skin, hair, and body hair. It acts as a natural sunscreen that protects our skin from harmful UV rays. Age spots are more common on fair skin and are generally located on the areas most exposed to the sun: the face, décolleté, and the backs of the hands.

B. Age spots on the face

The mechanism of melanogenesis (melanin synthesis) is based on a series of biochemical reactions. Melanin is produced from an amino acid: tyrosine. Tyrosine and its by-products are oxidized by various enzymes including tyrosinase, which controls the initial steps of the mechanism. Melanin accumulates within the cells up to the surface of the epidermis.

The greater this activity, the larger the amount of melanin produced and the darker the skin. Many factors can lead to an increase in the amount of melanin produced by the skin.

C. Facial pigmentation spots

Hyperpigmentation is a physiological mechanism that can occur due to different factors.

According to its phenotype, that is to say the skin tone and its color, the brown spots can be more or less dark.

For example, black, matte, and mixed skin being naturally more pigmented and more concentrated in melanin than Caucasian or Asian white skin, pigment spots tend to be darker and take longer to fade. What are the factors causing brown spots?

A. Overexposure to the sun

In case of excessive sun exposure, melanocytes produce melanin in a disorderly manner. It accumulates in the form of small localized clusters and causes the appearance of brown spots, especially on fair skin on the face, décolleté, and hands.

B. Acne and irritant dermatitis of the skin

Following a local skin inflammation such as an acne pimple, an eczema patch, or psoriasis, excessive melanin production can occur during healing.

Dark pigmentation spots called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentations can then develop on the skin. These pigmentation spots usually fade over time but are more frequent, more visible, and take longer to disappear on olive and black skin, which is very rich in melanin. If the pimple has been squeezed, scratched, or pressed, the spot is likely to be more pronounced, larger, and take longer to disappear.

C. Small wounds, cuts, burns

During the healing process of a wound, melanin production naturally increases. The regenerated skin cells are darker and temporarily fade.

D. Aesthetic interventions (chemical peeling, dermabrasion, laser treatment)

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and spots can occur after an aggressive aesthetic skin procedure and during its healing process.

E. Skin aging

With age, the number of melanocytes producing melanin decreases, but the size of the remaining cells increases. This results in uneven skin pigmentation.

This natural physiological phenomenon accelerates around the age of 40, hence the increase in the number of age spots.

F. Hormonal variations

Female hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, cause an overproduction of melanin, especially when the skin is exposed to the sun.

Hormonal fluctuations disrupt the hormonal balance and the skin's ability to regenerate.

In pregnant women, it is common to observe the appearance of areas of hyperpigmentation on the face, known as melasma or "pregnancy mask." Outside of pregnancy, hyperpigmentation can also occur in women taking hormonal contraceptives, as well as during menopause.

To remove pigmentation spots on the face, it is essential to combine an appropriate skincare routine with targeted dietary supplements. Products from D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS, such as the Radiant Skin Complex and the Soothing Skin Complex, offer a natural and effective solution to reduce spots and even out the complexion.

A. Remove brown spots on the face naturally

Remember that you should never try to bleach a spot or your skin but only lighten it and even out the complexion. Indeed, prolonged use of depigmenting and whitening treatments causes significant damage that is difficult to treat, such as brown spots, white spots, and uneven skin tone.

Even when pigmentation spots are established, it is possible to effectively fade them naturally thanks to dietary supplements.

Composed of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and plant extracts, dietary supplements act directly at the cellular level to slow down the hyperpigmentation process that causes brown spots. Thanks to targeted active ingredients, they help to reduce spots and naturally brighten the complexion.

At D-LAB, we have developed dietary supplements that target the main causes of facial pigmentation spots: skin inflammation, melanogenesis, and oxidative stress.

B. Supplements to remove facial stains

• The Radiant Skin Complex contains 7 natural and innovative active ingredients, which unify and awaken the complexion, preserve the tissues from skin aging, and reduce brown spots.

• Pro-Collagen Anti-Spots which combines a patented complex of very powerful antioxidants to prevent and reduce facial pigmentation spots, as well as collagen oligopeptides for skin firming and wrinkle reduction.

• Active Sun Complex with its pomegranate extract standardized to 30% punicalagins to prepare and enhance tanning while protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.

C. Best anti-spot ingredients for the face

A soothing and anti-inflammatory action to calm inflammation, often the cause of the first facial pigmentation spots. 

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a type of skin hyperpigmentation that is mainly triggered by the way the skin regenerates after inflammation when an area of the skin is weakened and damaged.

The Soothing Skin Complex contains highly dosed, bioavailable active ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties.

• Roman chamomile flower extract, 4 times more concentrated in active ingredients than the dried plant, reduces redness and soothes itching sensations.

• Turmeric, a natural anti-inflammatory and powerful antioxidant, soothes skin inflammation and redness.

• Hemp oil with anti-inflammatory properties, is known to soothe redness and calm the skin.

• The SOD also helps to protect the skin from inflammation by acting at the cellular level. Derived from Provence melon, it is known for protecting the skin from external aggressions, particularly UV rays. A patented primary antioxidant, it is 37 times more concentrated than pure melon.

Anti-spot face product

An action on melanogenesis, the mechanism responsible for skin pigmentation.

It is possible to reduce the appearance of facial pigmentation spots by controlling melanogenesis, the mechanism responsible for the production of melanin that causes hyperpigmentation.

The Radiant Skin Complex contains an innovative concentrate of OPC from Landes maritime pine, an active ingredient certified by numerous clinical studies for its effect on radiance and skin tone uniformity and its antioxidant properties. Studies conducted in recent years indicate that OPCs (Oligo-ProCyanidins) are capable of inhibiting inflammatory reactions and pigment disorders.

An action on microcirculation to promote oxygenation and the elimination of toxins.

To ensure the best possible nutrition for the skin, it is essential to stimulate the cutaneous microcirculation. Improving circulation also allows for better absorption of active ingredients, especially those that regulate melanogenesis.

Excessive sun exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging of tissues. Indeed, oxidative stress can result from the harmful effects of the sun. Thus, weakened cells can cause the formation of new pigment spots or the intensification of existing pigment spots. Therefore, D-LAB has selected ingredients with high antioxidant potential.

The Radiant Skin Complex and the Active Sun Complex contain a pomegranate extract standardized to 30% in punicalagins and 47% in polyphenols, two families of powerful antioxidants. This patented active ingredient protects the skin from aging.

In vitro tests have proven the effectiveness of our ingredient for skin protection against UV. Our pomegranate extract has demonstrated:

• Protection of fabrics against oxidative damage caused by UVB¹

• The increase in pro-collagen production and hyaluronic acid¹

• Regeneration of oxidized cells after exposure to UVB²

Pigmentation spots on the face can be a source of aesthetic concern for many. They often result from hyperpigmentation, a process where melanin production becomes excessive due to various factors. 

Melanin, responsible for skin coloration, can accumulate unevenly and form darker spots. 

The main causes include prolonged sun exposure, hormonal changes, skin inflammations, and aging. 

To reduce these spots, it is crucial to adopt a suitable care routine that includes dietary supplements rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. 

At D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS, formulations like the Radiant Skin Complex offer a natural and effective solution to reduce the appearance of pigmentation spots and improve skin radiance.

To eliminate hyperpigmentation spots, it is recommended to use dietary supplements rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. 

The best treatment for brown spots on the face combines topical care with dietary supplements. 

D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS products, such as the Duo Éclat-Total, offer a comprehensive approach by targeting the underlying causes of pigmentation spots, such as inflammation, melanogenesis, and oxidative stress. By incorporating these products into a skincare routine, it is possible to achieve visible and lasting results.

Also, the Anti-Spot Pro-Collagen will have the same virtues with added collagen for the anti-wrinkle effect.
