Hyperpigmentation is a black, brown or pink patch due to increased melanin production in your body. There are several factors that can trigger melanin production, like sun exposure, hormonal balance, inflammation, ageing or skin injuries. Night creams are one of the most natural ways to treat this skin condition. You can make DIY night creams or use any plant-based toxin-free pigmentation cream for your face, like Rejusure's 2.5% Retinol moisturizer. This hyperpigmentation cream combats visible signs of ageing like fine lines and wrinkles and boosts collagen production.
