Hyperpigmentation and melasma

Skin pigmentation is something you can be born with or something that can occur over time as a result of sun exposure and environmental factors. Those struggling with hyperpigmentation or melasma can find it difficult to discover effective treatment on their own, as home remedies are largely inadequate. Melasma can appear anywhere on the faces, on the forearms, the neck, and other areas with frequent sun exposure, making it a prominent concern.
