FAQ SECTION

Can harsh skincare worsen hyperpigmentation in black skin?

Yes. In dark skin, inflammation often triggers excess melanin production, which can deepen hyperpigmentation instead of improving it.

What ingredients should people with eczema avoid?

Common triggers include artificial fragrance, high-alcohol formulas, and aggressive exfoliants that disrupt the barrier.

Does over exfoliation worsen acne scars?

It can. Over exfoliating inflames the skin and may increase post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Is fragrance bad for psoriasis prone skin?

For many individuals, fragrance can trigger flare ups or prolong recovery.

Your skin does not need stronger products. It needs support.
