@k.pharmacist_unnie: Dark underarms or elbows? 🌑 This is actually Friction Hyperpigmentation. As a Korean pharmacist, I see people making this mistake all the time: Stop scrubbing it! ❌ Scrubbing only makes your skin thicker and darker to protect itself. Here is the 3-steps : 👇 1️⃣ Stop the Friction 🚫 Switch to laser hair removal. Stop plucking or shaving, which causes constant trauma to the skin. 2️⃣ Melt the "Wall" with Urea 💧@CeraVe Your skin builds a thick layer of dead cells. You need Urea to soften this barrier so other brightening ingredients can actually penetrate. 3️⃣ The Brightening Duo: Tranexamic Acid/ Niacinamide + Retinal ✨ @anua_global @medicube global @Arencia @celimax.global Tranexamic Acid & Niacinamide: Block melanin production and stop melanin from moving to the surface (anua niacinamide 10% + TXA 4% serum) (medicube TXA + Niacinamide capsule cream) Retinal: Speeds up cell turnover to push out dark pigment and bring in fresh skin.
