BEST Moisturizers for Hyperpigmentation
704,339
Publicado 2021-01-15
You want to use a moisturizer rich in Vitamin F aka Linoleic acid & Alpha-Linolenic Acid when you are trying to correct hyperpigmentation because Vitamin F has pigment reduction abilities, increases cell turn over rate, is anti-inflammatory, increases skin barrier health, and decreases transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
Moisturizer choice is super important because it can affect product penetration, efficacy, and side effects of the treatment product.
In the context of hyperpigmentation Fatty acids have effects on tyrosinase. Unsaturated fatty acids inhibit tyrosinase activity and can help fight hyperpigmentation.
Here are a few of my favorite moisturizers rich in Vit F:
Light Moisturizers:

Heavy Moisturizers:

Oils:

The Ordinary Vit F shop-links.co/1729507759530392719
The easiest way to identify if a moisturizer is rich in Vitamin F is to look for formulas that specifically advertise omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content, such as Paula’s Choice Omega+ Complex moisturizer, $35, Biossance Squalane + Omega repair cream, $58 or Drunk Elephants F-Balm- $52
Of note plant, nut, and seed oils with high unsaturated fatty acid concentrations work as well. Sunflower, safflower, evening primrose, rose-hip seed, and flaxseed oils all have particularly high concentrations of linoleic (omega-6) and linolenic (omega-3) acids.
