Dark spots that dull the complexion are not just a matter of aesthetics, but the visible imprint of time, hormones, sun exposure and inflammation on the skin. The Despigmentante Alta Potencia has been formulated as an advanced correction treatment to address melasma, chloasma, age-related hyperpigmentation, sun exposure marks and post-inflammatory pigmentation with a professional and exquisitely cosmetic approach. A high-precision serum that brightens, evens out and perfects skin tone while providing comprehensive anti-ageing care.
Broad-spectrum depigmenting treatment
This ultra-concentrated serum combines reference active ingredients in cosmetic dermatology to treat dark spots from different angles: it inhibits melanin overproduction, modulates the inflammation associated with hyperpigmentation and improves skin renewal, while protecting against oxidative damage. Its formula is designed as an ideal complement to medical-aesthetic depigmenting protocols (chemical peels, IPL, laser, photobiodynamic therapies), extending and optimising their results from home.
- Helps reduce the intensity and extent of spots associated with melasma, chloasma, photoageing and post-inflammatory marks.
- Evens out skin tone and improves overall clarity.
- Acts simultaneously on hyperpigmentation, oxidative stress and the first signs of ageing.
- Fluid, fast-absorbing texture, ideal as the first step in your night-time routine and, if needed, your daytime routine too.
High-potency depigmenting complex
The effectiveness of this serum lies in the synergy of active ingredients that act on the different stages of spot formation:
- Ácido Tranexámico (Tranexamic Acid): a reference active ingredient for hyperpigmentation associated with melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Helps modulate the inflammatory response and reduce the appearance of persistent and diffuse dark spots.
- Retinol 0.15% (Retinol): a vitamin A derivative with powerful retexturising and renewing action. Promotes skin cell turnover, improves texture and helps blur spots and micro-relief, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.
- Niacinamida (Niacinamide): a multifunctional vitamin that helps inhibit the transfer of melanin to the skin's surface, improving tone evenness. It also strengthens the skin barrier function and helps soothe the skin.
- Arbutina (Arbutin): a brightening active ingredient that acts on tyrosinase activity, helping to gradually reduce the intensity of hyperpigmentation.
- Ácido Azelaico (Azelaic Acid): with melanogenesis-modulating properties and mild keratolytic action, it is especially interesting for skin with dark spots, visible pores and imperfections.
Double stabilised vitamin C and antioxidant shield
To protect the skin against oxidative stress, a major factor in hyperpigmentation and photoageing, the formula includes an advanced antioxidant system:
- Vitamina C estabilizada (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid): two highly stable forms of vitamin C that help brighten skin tone, enhance evenness, stimulate collagen synthesis and fight free radicals generated by UV radiation and pollution.
- Pycnogenol (Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract): a powerful antioxidant derived from maritime pine bark, recognised for its ability to neutralise free radicals, protect collagen and improve skin microcirculation.
- Ácido Tióctico (Thioctic Acid / Alpha Lipoic Acid): a broad-spectrum antioxidant, soluble in both water- and lipid-based media, which reinforces overall defence against oxidative stress and contributes to a more even, radiant complexion.
Complementary anti-ageing and soothing care
The Despigmentante Alta Potencia not only corrects dark spots, but also supports the skin throughout its regeneration process:
- Extracto de Regaliz (Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract): known for its brightening and soothing action, it helps to soften the appearance of dark spots and reduce associated redness.
- Extracto de Centella Asiática (Centella Asiatica Extract): a pro-repairing active ingredient that helps improve elasticity and skin barrier integrity, providing comfort for skin undergoing intensive treatments.
- Ácido Láctico (Lactic Acid): an alpha-hydroxy acid with exfoliating and moisturising power that promotes gentle renewal of the stratum corneum, improving texture and the skin's receptiveness to depigmenting active ingredients.
- Glicerina (Glycerin): a reference humectant that helps maintain hydration levels, compensating for the possible dryness associated with the use of retinoids and acids.
Texture and sensory experience
The formula comes in a fluid, lightweight serum texture, with a water base and carefully balanced sensory touches. It absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue, making it easy to layer with other treatment products. The subtle fragrance accompanies application without being overpowering, respecting the experience of a technical product intended for daily use.
How to apply
To optimise results, it is recommended to incorporate the Despigmentante Alta Potencia into your routine as follows:
- Always apply to clean, completely dry facial skin.
- At night: place 4 drops in the palm of your hand and gently pat over face, neck and, if desired, décolletage, avoiding the immediate eye contour area.
- If necessary, it can also be applied in the morning, always as the first step of your treatment, before other serums and moisturiser.
- Allow to absorb for a few moments and follow with a repairing moisturiser.
- During the day, it is essential to finish your routine with a broad-spectrum, high-protection sunscreen to maximise depigmenting results and prevent the appearance of new spots.
Due to the presence of retinol and salicylic acid (at low concentrations), it is advisable to introduce the product gradually for very sensitive skin, spacing out its use in the first few days and increasing frequency according to tolerance. Not suitable for use during pregnancy.
Professional usage indications
The Despigmentante Alta Potencia serum is especially recommended as:
- A home-use complement to medical depigmenting protocols (peels, IPL, laser, photobiodynamic therapies).
- A base treatment in routines for melasma and chloasma, always with strict sun protection and, where applicable, professional supervision.
- Anti-ageing routines focused on tone, texture and early pigmentary irregularities.
