If you have pigmentation spots on your face, you probably want to make them less visible. Helwé offers professional anti-spot treatments with a follow-up skincare protocol at home, using special skincare products that fade pigmentation spots and even out your skin tone.

How do pigmentation spots appear?

Pigmentation spots are often associated with age, due to skin exposure to the sun.

These pigmentation spots can also occur in younger individuals. This hyperpigmentation is the result of unprotected exposure to sunlight for years.

How to eliminate pigmentation spots?

It's difficult to completely eliminate pigmentation spots. But you can do quite a few things to prevent or reduce pigmentation spots.

Use a sunscreen product of at least SPF 30 every day.

This helps prevent the appearance of (new) spots.

Use a vitamin C serum under your SPF every morning

Its antioxidant effect enhances the SPF's effectiveness and better protects the face. Start applying it from 26 or 27 years old.

Use products containing many antioxidants

Some plant-based ingredients like tomato lycopene, sea buckthorn oil, pomegranate extract, resveratrol, bakuchiol can reduce spots and give a lot of radiance.

Use products containing niacinamide, kojic acid, azelaic acid, and AHAs.

In combination, these ingredients target different aspects of pigmentation, such as melanin production, melanin transfer, and skin cell turnover, resulting in a more comprehensive approach to reducing pigmentation spots and achieving a more even complexion.

What are the helwé products to prevent and combat pigmentation spots?

In the Helwé collection, you'll find numerous products that prevent the appearance of pigmentation spots and fade existing skin discolorations.

Helwé Exfoliation

Lotion Exfoliante Peau Parfaite: This lotion for normal, combination and oily skin combines 10% AHA fruit acids, 1% salicylic acid (BHA) and provitamin B5. They brighten the complexion, remove surface imperfections and diminish skin discoloration.

Helwé Masks

• Masque Clarté (depigmenting mask): a mask based on kojic acid and AHAs, which helps reduce pigmentation spots.

• Masque Radieux (antioxidant mask): based on several antioxidants like vitamin C, resveratrol, tomato lycopene, and vitamin E. This mask is also hydrating and soothing due to the presence of hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and red clay, making it suitable for sensitive skin. This mask fades pigmentation spots, giving your dull skin a new radiance. 

Instructions of use: Use 3 times a week, leave on for 15 to 20 minutes then rinse off with water or leave a thin layer on the skin and apply your serums and creams afterward. Note: The Masque Clarté should only be applied in the evening as AHAs are photosensitizing.
