They settle in, resist, and eventually become part of the skin landscape. These pigment spots, often stemming from the sun, hormones, or inflammation, disrupt skin tone uniformity and affect self-image. Yet, despite using the most concentrated serums and following disciplined dermatological routines, some never truly fade.
The issue lies in a therapeutic blind spot: topical treatments, no matter how effective, only work from the outside. However, some causes of hyperpigmentation are rooted much more deeply. This is where a new cosmetic strategy comes into play, designed to complement surface routines by acting from within, directly targeting the biological processes of the skin.
A dermatological realm where creams fall short
According to a recent study conducted in 34 countries, half of the global population is affected by pigmentation disorders. Melasma, lentigos, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation… all share a common factor: an excessive production of melanin. However, their underlying causes vary dramatically.
Some spots result from hormonal imbalances, others are remnants of past inflammation, while others are evidence of decades of sun exposure. This complexity makes effective management lengthy and demanding. In this context, topical treatments, while essential, have their limitations. They act on the surface, sometimes penetrating deeper but rarely reaching the systemic cellular level where it all starts.
This is where a nutraceutical approach proves its worth. By working from the inside out, dietary supplements can reach the invisible layers of the skin, prevent disruptions before they manifest, and support natural defense mechanisms.
The Dépiwhite supplement from ACM: A foundational protocol against spots
The ACM laboratory, already a leader in dermatological prescriptions for spots, has developed a dietary supplement that aligns with this philosophy of deep and lasting correction. The Dépiwhite Dietary Supplement offers a dual-action formula: prevention and correction.
Each capsule contains a carefully selected combination of active ingredients:
- Grape seed extract: stimulates cellular renewal, inhibits tyrosinase (the key enzyme in melanin production), and neutralizes free radicals.
- Evening primrose extract: targets inflammation, a major factor in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Vitamin B3: inhibits the rise of melanin to the surface of the skin.
- Vitamins C and E: a vital antioxidant duo to protect skin cells.
- Zinc: strengthens the skin barrier against external aggressors, limiting pigment imbalances.
Taken at a dosage of 2 capsules per day for 3 months, this supplement acts progressively, supporting topical treatments. It is suitable for sensitive skin that poorly tolerates certain depigmenting actives, pregnant women prone to melasma, or mature skin showing signs of aging. It is recommended for patients with hyperpigmentation issues, whether they have light or dark skin types, mature skin, or a history of melasma.
How this approach transforms skincare for those with spots
The effectiveness of the Dépiwhite Dietary Supplement is not merely measured by its active ingredients but also by the strategic role it plays in a comprehensive anti-spot routine. By addressing imbalances upstream, it allows for:
- Reduced intensity and frequency of spot appearance,
- Optimized effectiveness of surface-applied treatments,
- A gentle yet targeted alternative for reactive skin.
This approach marks a turning point in the dermatological management of pigment spots: less aggressive, more integrated, and more systemic. It also challenges established norms in pigment dermatology by introducing a softer, more holistic response that is more synchronized with the skin’s natural rhythms. In contrast to often disappointing express brightening formulas, this ACM approach emphasizes depth, consistency, and medical legitimacy.
