Skin discoloration comes in many forms. Medically, it appears when there is an imbalance of melanin, which produces the pigment in your skin. This can be caused by sun exposure (hello dark spots & age spots!) or hormone levels. Birth control can make you more prone to melasma.
We looked for a product that would make a real difference and chose Lytera, which is clinically proven to address skin discoloration. Its two key ingredients, niacinamide and tetrapeptide-30, are a powerful duo that balance your skin. It also does not contain hydroquinone, which can cause severe reactions.
