A comprehensive approach to dark spots and radiance.

Sun, skin aging, hormonal variations, or marks linked to blemishes: dark spotscan have different origins and make the complexion less even.

To support skin concerned by pigmentary irregularities, Sothys Advanced Research has developed Pigmentation Management, a range that provides a global response addressing three concerns: dark spots, radiance, and skin youthfulness.

At the heart of the formulas, organic white nettle extract, inspired by the Jardins Sothys™ and harvested in Corrèze, is an exclusive active ingredient derived from Sothys Advanced Research and the subject of a patent filed in France. It helps to reduce the phenomenon of dark spots. The range also combines targeted active ingredients such as niacinamide, which promotes a radiant complexion, and encapsulated ferulic acid, recognized for its antioxidant action.

A complete ritual for brighter, more even skin

Pigmentation Management supports the skin at every step of the ritual with 6 complementary treatments: brightening face cleanser, complexion renewing essence, dark spot focus serum, dark spot focus cream, radiance enhancing mask, and youth protective fluid SPF50.

On a daily basis, regularity of the ritual is essential. In the morning, sun protection is the final step: as UV rays promote pigmentary irregularities and photoaging, daily protection helps prevent their appearance and accentuation.

This at-home approach is extended in the salon with the Sothys Dark Spot and Radiance Professional Treatment, a 6-step protocol developed to provide a triple response: dark spots, hydration, and an even complexion.

What is a pigmentation spot?

A pigmentation spot corresponds to an area of skin with darker colouring. It is linked to a local disruption of pigmentation and can have different origins: sun exposure, skin ageing, pregnancy or marks left by imperfections.

What is the difference between pigmentation spots and hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation refers to the phenomenon that causes certain areas of the skin to become more coloured. Pigmentation spots, or brown spots, are a visible manifestation of it.

How can you reduce the appearance of spots on the face?

A regular cosmetic routine helps act on the appearance of spots while working on the evenness and radiance of the complexion. The Sothys Pigmentation Management range was designed around these different concerns, with complementary treatments to use every day.

Which active ingredients are used in the Pigmentation Management treatments?

The range is based in particular on three active ingredients: organic white nettle extract (French patent filed no. 2302520), inspired by the Jardins Sothys™ and harvested in Corrèze, which helps reduce pigmentation spots; niacinamide, which promotes complexion radiance; and encapsulated ferulic acid, a powerful antioxidant.

Why use sun protection when you have pigmentation spots?

UV exposure encourages the appearance of spots and makes them more pronounced. Daily sun protection is therefore an essential step in a routine targeting pigmentation irregularities. The Pigmentation Management Youth Protective Fluid SPF50 was developed as the final step of the ritual, to combine care and protection against photo-ageing.

In what order should you use the Pigmentation Management treatments?

The daily ritual begins with the Illuminating Face Cleanser, followed by the Complexion Renewing Essence, the Dark Spot Focus Serum and then the Dark Spot Focus Cream. In the morning, the Youth Protective Fluid SPF50 completes the ritual. The Radiance Enhancing Mask occasionally completes this routine.

Does the Pigmentation Management range only work on dark spots?

No. It was developed around three complementary concerns: pigmentation spots, radiance and skin youthfulness. It can therefore suit skin with spots of different origins, but also skin looking for overall radiance or wishing to protect itself from the signs of ageing.

What results can you expect from the Dark Spot Focus Serum?

The Dark Spot Focus Serum combines 9 active ingredients from science and nature and helps fight all types of spots: emerging, visible and established.
