Allantoin for hyperpigmentation: how to use it and what to expect

Let's be honest about what Allantoin can really do, and what it can't.

What is Allantoin

Allantoin softens, soothes and encourages gentle skin renewal.

How Allantoin helps for hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is localised excess melanin after sun, inflammation or hormonal change. Allantoin approaches the problem from a different angle: allantoin softens, soothes and encourages gentle skin renewal. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for hyperpigmentation.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply allantoin to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions

A gentle ingredient that boosts the comfort of almost any formula. Without daily SPF any brightening actives work in vain.
