Most clinical skincare research was conducted on Fitzpatrick Types I-III. The result is a global industry calibrated for skin that most South Indian users simply do not have -- concentrations are wrong, treatments trigger PIH instead of resolving it.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Every mark heals darker. Every wrong treatment leaves evidence. Melanin-safe protocols are non-negotiable.

Retinoids, AHAs, and hydroquinone need different protocols for deeper tones to avoid irritation-driven darkening.
Ayurvedic Alternatives
Tranexamic acid, bakuchiol, and Kumkumadi carry strong evidence and superior safety for Fitzpatrick IV-VI.
