Frequently Asked Questions
(US Patent # 5,958,437)
Q. Why do people get hyperpigmentation – what is it that happens in the skin?
A breakdown occurs in one of the amino acids (Cysteine) in the skin at celluar level. The absence of this amino acid results in darker pigment or hyperpigmentation.
Q. Can I use Pigment Stabilizer with other products such as AHA’s (Glycolic, Lactic acid, etc.)?
Yes, but do not use them all on the same day (i.e., do not use Pigment Stabilizer on the same day that you have a glycolic acid facial treatment.)
Q. What causes hyperpigmentation and melasma?
Hyperpigmentation canresult from skin procedures such as chemical peels, dermabrasion and laser resurfacing. It also can arise from hormonal changes and/or pregnancy, prolonged sun exposure, certain medications and chemotherapy.
Q What is the key ingredient on Pigment Stabilizer?
The key ingredient is a scientific breakthrough. The exclusive patent, bioengineered compound is a newly discovered pentapeptide that also contains rare plant extracts including Mushroom, Licorice, Bearberry and Lactobacillus Algae – which have been bioengineered into powerful penetrating micro-beads that work within the skin to trasform dark melanin (emumelanin) into lighter melanin (phaeomelanin), depressing synthesis of the melanocytes that cause hyperpigmentation.
Q. What are the advantages to using Pigment Stabilizer over other skin lighteners?
It is non-irritating, non-carcinogenic and it is not photosensitive.
Q. What is the difference between Pigment Stabilizer and other skin lightener products?
Pigment Stabilizer is not a bleaching agent.
Rather, it is formulated with an exclusive skin lightening compound, PentaPeptide, that achieves amazing results without the most common and potentially irritating skin bleaching agent, hydroquinone.
Rare plant extracts in micro-bead form work within the skin to trasform dark melanin (emumelanin) into lighter melanin (phaeomelanin), depressing synthesis of the melanocytes that cause hyperpigmentation.
