DISCOLORATIONS DEFINEDDermatologist solutions® Clearly CorreCtivetm Dark spot solution

The main cause of discolorations or hyperpigmentation on skin is melanin overproduction.

2

Melanin, the natural pigment that gives skin its color, is produced by the cells called melanocytes. Melanocytes can overproduce melanin due to UV exposure, hormonal fluctuations and aging.

Overproduced melanin particles cluster together and are released from the melanocyte to other skin cells, eventually resulting in a dark spot or discoloration on skin surface.
