Every Mark
Tells a Story.

PIH is not scarring. It is excess melanin deposited during the inflammatory healing response. Every acne breakout, ingrown hair, or bout of eczema deposits pigment that can persist for months without targeted treatment.

The most effective and safest brightening actives for dark skin tones: tranexamic acid (2-5%), niacinamide (10%), alpha arbutin (1-2%), and azelaic acid (10-20%). Aggressive peels and high-dose hydroquinone cause paradoxical darkening. Consistency outperforms aggression every time.
