Trendsetters share insights on the tools they recommend for hyperpigmentation. CEO of BiON Research Skincare Products Larry Lockhart, R.P. “BiON’s research team has developed a product that should be on every aesthetician’s shelf! Mandelic Serum, available in eight percent or 15 percent, is a multifunctional, AHA product that we have seen work well for hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne, and mature skin. Daily treatment with Mandelic Serum breaks up hyperpigmentation caused by things such as sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and hormones – and it is alcohol free. We were even able to observe the positive impact it had on a BiON employee in our office with severe melasma. It has quickly become a favorite BiON product.” bionresearch.com Co-Owner and Co-Founder of Lira Clinical Metaxia Dalikas “PRO Lite embodies Lira Clinical’s core philosophy of healthy, beautiful skin. We created this brightening serum and melanin suppressant with hexylresorcinol – a powerful alternative to hydroquinone that delivers equivalent results without the harmful side effects. We also included kojic acid, vitamin C, arbutin, and plant stem cells, along with natural ingredients such as gooseberry, licorice, and MASQ-techTM Skin Illumination Technology, to reduce pigmentation and inflammation. This top-selling Lira Clinical product has been proven to be a must-have in clinical aesthetics.” liraclinical.com Owner and Founder of Skin Script Skin Care Lisa VanBockern “Skin Script’s Glycolic/Retinol Pads with arbutin and kojic have been one of our top sellers from the beginning. They are our skin lightening product for pigmentation. They have two percent glycolic, one percent retinol, and a pH of 3.0 to deliver the natural lighteners four percent arbutin and three percent kojic into the skin for maximum lightening. If possible, apply twice daily to the pigmented areas and cover with moisturizer and SPF.” skinscriptrx.com In-house Licensed Aesthetician for Vivant Skin Care Maryanne Goodman, L.E. “Formulated with potent ingredients for improving tone and texture, Vivant’s Bleaching Cream is a high-performance brightener that also supports collagen production.
