What causes hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation usually presents itself as age spots, uneven colour, freckles and sometimes melasma (mask of pregnancy), due to excess melanin production and deposition in the skin. Sun exposure is the main factor, but hyperpigmentation can also be aggravated by other factors including hormones during pregnancy or the contraceptive pill, certain medications, and also post inflammation following trauma or acne.
To some people, blemish marks are just a temporary thing, but to others, it can be more stubborn. Stubborn marks will sometimes also fade, but will often take many months or even years to disappear altogether. And once you have got rid of them you need them not to come back!

Oxy-R Peptides featuring oxyresveratrol, a gold-standard hyperpigmentation ingredient, stabilised in Medik8 patented system, at the highest ever dose of 1%. Oxy-R Peptides in addition features two brightening twin peptides, which boost the action of oxy-R.
- Tetrapeptide-30: Works to interrupt the pathways that lead to discolouration and uneven skin tone.
- Acetyl Glycyl Beta-Alanine: Works to stop the transportation of melanin to the keratinocyte where the overproduction of pigment becomes visible on the skin.
What is Oxy-R?
Oxy-R is a Potent Antioxidant. Antioxidant oxyresveratrol can block the production of free radicals to stop them from causing the overproduction of melanin & reduce inflammation.
Tyrosinase is the main enzyme responsible for producing melanin in the skin. Oxy-R helps to prevent its action, resulting in a visibly more even tone in areas of hyperpigmentation.
Proven to be one of the most powerful and potent tyrosinase inhibitors in skincare to prevent hyperpigmentation, 33x more effectively than kojic acid and 45x more effectively than resveratrol, two of the most well-known luminsing agents on the market.
