Melanin, a natural pigment that determines skin color, its produced by skin cells called melanocytes. These melanocytes store melanin in organelles called melanosomes.
When the skin undergoes trauma or inflammation like acne, scarring or eczema, melanin production goes into overdrive, resulting in hyperpigmentation.
Since individuals with dark skin have more melanosomes, they’re more prone to hyperpigmentation.
Bantu Aesthetics is a black skin specialist clinic that has successfully treated Hyper pigmentation as its one of the most common skin concerns among people of colour.
People with darker skin tones need extra caution when using products to treat post-acne dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Using the wrong ingredients or even the right ingredients in the wrong concentrations can cause skin irritation and further skin discoloration, excess skin lightening, and other side effects.
