In this episode, we delve into the science and skincare strategies behind hyperpigmentation—a common skin condition characterized by darkened patches resulting from excess melanin production. We explore the primary causes, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, and post-inflammatory responses, and discuss how these factors contribute to uneven skin tone. Listeners will gain insights into the various types of hyperpigmentation, such as melasma, age spots, and post-acne marks, and understand how they manifest differently across skin tones.Building upon the information presented in the article “Hyperpigmentation: Meaning, Causes, Treatments” from Era Organics, this episode also highlights evidence-based treatments supported by scientific research. We review current therapeutic options, including topical agents like hydroquinone, retinoids, and newer treatments such as tranexamic acid, which have shown promise in clinical studies. Additionally, we discuss preventive measures like sun protection and skincare routines tailored to address hyperpigmentation effectively.
