The skin is the largest organ of the body. It is such an obvious organ that many people do not feel comfortable with its imperfections like melasma, or dark spots. Fortunately, you can choose an effective dark spot remover from Watsons to achieve spotless skin!

Check out this article to learn more about melasma and the effective option for reducing the appearance of this skin discoloration.

What is Melasma?

There are all sorts of skin troubles that people deal with. A very common one is melasma, which is an evident discoloration on the skin primarily affecting the face and neck.

Melasma can be seen as light brown, dark brown, blue, or gray patches. The discoloration usually begins in the face but it can also spread to the neck, shoulders, and forearms.

Fortunately, melasma does not require significant medical attention. Medically speaking, the discoloration would not do any harm to the affected individual. But it can be an esthetic concern, as melasma can be very noticeable due to its color and location on the face.

Causes of Melasma

Melasma is a type of skin discoloration that can be triggered by numerous factors. In women, a lot of studies agree that hormonal changes can trigger the development of this discoloration. So, melasma is more common in women, especially those taking oral contraceptives, or who are pregnant.

Studies have also pointed to other etiologic factors like genetics and exposure to UV light and radiation. Plus, some also mention how stress and harsh peeling products can also cause melasma.

The Demographics

Indeed, melasma is not a rare condition, but how many people are affected by this problem? Women are more susceptible to developing melasma than men. 90% of individuals with melasma are women!

Among the women, the most commonly affected ones are pregnant. As much as 50% of pregnant women develop melasma on their face and neck.

Developing melasma during puberty is rare. Since hormones have been one of the most viable reasons for developing melasma, it is more common for people between 20 and 40 years old to have this condition.

Types of Melasma and How It Affects the Skin

Melasma varies in how deep the pigmentation is underneath the skin. Consulting a medical professional is best if you want to fully understand your skin condition and find a possible treatment option for it.

To assess the type of melasma you have, the dermatologist will use the black light from Wood’s lamp to see how deep the pigmentation is under the skin. Melasma is classified under three types:

• Epidermal melasma is an obvious dark-brown spot that has well-defined borders. This type responds well to treatments.
• Dermal melasma appears lighter than epidermal melasma. It can also be bluish or light brown and has an ill-defined border. But, this one does not respond well to treatment.
• Mixed melasma is the most common type, which appears to be bluish to brown patches on the skin. Under black light, this has a mixed pattern, and can still be responsive to treatment.

Melasma does not provide a significant medical impact to the affected individual. Despite this, affected individuals would still prefer to have the discoloration removed or minimized to help them boost their confidence and achieve spotless skin.

A Treatment Option for Melasma: Pynocare

Many people would feel less confident when they are not satisfied with the way they look. Unfortunately, melasma can be present in some of the most visible areas of the face as exposure to UV rays is one of the perceived causes of discoloration.

If frequent exposure to the sunlight and UV rays make melasma appear darker for some people, using sunscreen or avoiding going outside may help. However, this is not always the case for people with hormonally induced discoloration.

Fortunately, melasma is not a permanent scar as we now have a pharmacological aid to reduce its visibility on the skin! Pynocare is a capsule taken orally and is primarily indicated for people with melasma to reduce the size and intensity of the pigmentation.

Pynocare as a Melasma Remover

Pynocare is made of active ingredients such as procyanidin, beta carotene, ascorbic acid, and d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. These active ingredients penetrate the layers of the skin and normalize the levels of pigments called melanin. As melanin levels are regulated, dark spots eventually lighten.

Components of Pynocare also have antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects. Consistent use of Pynocare not only reduces dark pigmentation, it can also improve the skin’s elasticity and smoothness.

With the correct use of Pynocare, individuals with melasma can see lighter pigmentation and a reduction in size within 8 to 12 weeks. Moreover, there is little to no adverse reaction for people with no allergies to this capsule.

FDA approval

Is Pynocare a safe product to use? The Food and Drug Administration classifies Pynocare as a valid product in the market. FDA’s approval of the sale and use of Pynocare gives the product a valid license until 2026. After this, the product would be up for renewal of their license.

Pynocare is a widely available dark spot remover from Watsons and other drugstores. And, given the existing valid license, all of these are FDA-approved!

The Recommended Dose

The key to obtaining the best results with Pynocare is using it correctly and safely. You can see better results after continued use of the product in its suggested dosage.

It is best to take 1 capsule of Pynocare two times a day until you achieve the desired effects. Take the capsule after your breakfast and dinner to avoid any gastric irritation.

For some, their desired effects such as lightening or fading of the dark spots can be seen after continuous intake of Pynocare for 8 weeks. This was proven in a previous study done on Filipina women with melasma. They were given oral procyanidin, an active ingredient in Pynocare, and a significant reduction in pigmentation was seen within 8 weeks.

Keep in mind that the change will not happen overnight! Follow your regimen and keep an eye out for any signs of lightening or reduction in your melasma.  In cases of deeper hyperpigmentation, you may need to take the regimen for up to 12 weeks before you see significant results.

Once you feel that the medication has done its effect, you can move on to maintenance and preventive doses. Taking one capsule of melasma every day can help prevent relapse of the discoloration.

To start your journey to minimizing the appearance of melasma, you can purchase Pynocare from Watsons and other drugstores. This can be purchased over the counter, and no prescriptions are needed.

You can purchase this dark spot remover from Watsons for Php 78 per capsule. If you are buying in bulk, a box containing 20 capsules retails for Php 1,560.
