Pigmablend Lotion

A targeted body treatment for hyperpigmentation, with our African Brightening Botanical Complex.

150ml.

Pigmablend Lotion is a concentrated exfoliating treatment for dark patches on the body: knees, elbows, knuckles, inner thighs, underarms and the legs. It is used in a defined treatment course on specific areas, not slathered all over as part of a daily routine. It takes the multi-pathway depigmenting complex from Pigmablend Cream and sets it in a lighter, fast-spreading emulsion with 10% Urea, which softens rough, thickened skin so the actives can work. It rapidly diminishes dark spots and patches, and gently unifies uneven tone and discolouration.

Key actives

•        10% Urea: smooths rough, bumpy and thickened skin on knees, elbows and feet, boosts hydration and helps the other actives penetrate

•        0.2% Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol: a highly targeted inhibitor of human tyrosinase, the enzyme that makes melanin

•        2% Diglucosyl Gallic Acid: a second, gentler tyrosinase inhibitor and antioxidant

•        2% Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine: blocks the signal that switches pigment production on

•        Tranexamic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside (vitamin C) and Kojic Acid Dipalmitate: more pathways covered

•        Glycolic, Mandelic and Lactic Acids: lift pigmented surface cells for a brighter, smoother finish

•        African Brightening Botanical Complex: Kigelia, Rooibos, Baobab, Marula, African Potato, Hibiscus and Moringa

Best for

•        Dark knees, elbows, knuckles and ankles

•        Inner-thigh, underarm and bikini-line darkening

•        Marks from old wounds, insect bites, shaving or ingrown hairs

•        Uneven, rough or bumpy body skin (including strawberry legs)

How to use

1.     In the evening, apply a thin layer only to the dark areas you are treating, on clean, dry skin.

2.     Follow the treatment course above: begin 2–3 times a week and increase as your skin tolerates.

3.     Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen such as UV Warrior SPF 50+ on exposed treated areas during the day.

Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and lips. Contains urea and multiple exfoliating acids, so slight tingling and flaking may occur. Patch test on a small area before first full use. Do not use on broken, irritated or freshly shaved skin. Discontinue if irritation develops. Keep out of reach of children.
