It depends on the type of dark spot (long-term, It depends on the type of dark spot (how established and recent) and skin type.

Yes, the Dark Spot Correcting Glycolic Night Cream is suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women, however, we recommend that you consult your doctor for personalised advice. To prevent new dark spots related to the pregnancy mask appearing, we recommend applying an SPF50 sunscreen every day.

It reduces dark spots and acts as a gentle exfoliator throughout the night, leaving the skin fresh and glowing when you wake up. For daytime application, choose the Vinoperfect Dark Spot Niacinamide Moisturizer.

The skin has its own defence mechanism. Subjected to UV rays, cells called melanocytes act as a shield: in particular thanks to an enzyme called tyrosinase, they produce melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. Most of the time, the skin develops colour evenly – this is how a tan develops – but sometimes melanin is more concentrated in certain areas. We therefore see excess melanin production. This is when the skin is subjected to hyperpigmentation and dark spots of varying sizes develop.

No, a dark-spot correcting product protects the skin from new dark spots developing and reduces existing ones. As soon as skin is exposed to the sun, it is vital to use suitable sun protection.

No, applying a dark-spot correcting product – particularly before sun protection – does not prevent the skin from tanning. Dark-spot correcting products regulate overproduction of the melanin responsible for dark spots developing and intensifying on the skin, and as a result ensure an even and long-lasting tan. However, a non-photosensitising dark-spot correcting product should be used, so as not to irritate the skin when out in the sun.

Dark-spot correcting products do not make tans fade: on the contrary, they regulate melanin production and enable the skin to tan evenly, for a long-lasting tan that's free from dark spots. To make a tan last even longer, a tan-prolonging after-sun lotion should be used as well. The skin should also be intensely hydrated – inside and out – after each time it’s exposed to the sun. You should drink water regularly every day – up to 1.5 litres – and choose foods high in antioxidants to enhance a tan and protect the skin from skin ageing.

Applying self-tan to skin subject to dark spots is not recommended because it risks increasing the colour of dark spots and making them even more visible. Self-tanning products contain DHA, an active ingredient that is able to stimulate melanin production. When moles and pigmentation marks come into contact with it, contrast increases and they get darker, just like the skin after self-tan is applied.

Pigmentation dark spots caused by acne are brown or red and occur after the skin has experienced inflammation. They remain after blemishes have disappeared which sometimes makes them more difficult to treat. They appear when excess melanin is seen: melanin production is responsible for skin colouring, but when it becomes sensitive – which is what happens when a breakout appears – excess melanin builds up in the area where the blemish is. When the blemish has gone, the melanin remains and ends up causing a dark spot.

These marks are very different from each other. Acne marks are hyperpigmentation due to inflammation, which can be treated with dark-spot correcting products. Conversely, acne scars are deeper and non-pigmented marks that dark-spot correcting products cannot treat. Acne scars appear when the skin is no longer able to restore itself. The damaged part, which cannot heal properly, is replaced by skin tissue that remains visible despite time going by. To reduce this type of scar, it is preferable to look to skincare products with salicylic acid (like those in the Vinopure line), or to see an experienced dermatologist.

Pregnancy mask is due to hormonal changes, and in particular an increase in oestrogen levels. These lead to overproduction of melanin and make the skin more sensitive to sun rays (UVA and UVB) and external stressors. If the skin is not properly protected, dark spots develop.

Pregnancy mask generally appears from the second trimester (4th month) but it can also appear after giving birth, in particular during breast-feeding. All pregnant women can be affected, whatever their skin type. Deeper skin tones can be more prone to dark spots linked to hormonal fluctuations.

Again, prevention is key. To prevent pregnancy mask forming, a suitable routine should be followed and care be taken both during pregnancy and in the months after birth. For that, sun exposure should be avoided and SPF50 sun protection applied daily. For double protection against dark spots, the Vinoperfect serum should be used and applied before sun protection: it is a simple and effective thing to do to hydrate the skin, prevent pregnancy mask from developing and give the epidermis maximum sun protection. If sun exposure is high, the most exposed areas of the body should be covered and a wide-brimmed hat worn to protect the skin. And don't forget sunglasses. Avoid the sun between 12pm and 4pm and stay in the shade as much as possible

Pregnancy mask can indeed appear several months after the birth, especially during the breastfeeding period, or simply during the summer following the birth. It may even be likely to return with each exposure.What causes this? It is still due to hormones, and in particular to overproduction of oestrogens in the body. To minimise their development – or reappearance – SPF50 sun protection should still be used after giving birth as well as the Vinoperfect routine.

Hormonal influence is one of the reasons that dark spots appear. When taking the contraceptive pill, melanocytes (the cells responsible for skin pigmentation) increase. We see overproduction of melanin, which is responsible for dark spots developing, and melasma during pregnancy. To prevent them from appearing, SPF50 sun protection should be combined with a targeted dark-spot correcting routine.

Dark spots related to ageing are not in fact directly caused by the skin ageing, but due to oxidation. When dark spots appear, it is because the skin has been excessively exposed to oxidants responsible for skin ageing (like the sun or pollution). Skin oxidation can also be the result of a lifestyle that is not always healthy (smoking, drinking alcohol) or a lack of antioxidant active ingredients. These darks spots should therefore not be confused with pregnancy mask, which is caused by a hormonal imbalance.

During the summer months, protect your hands and décolleté with SPF50 sun protection. To prevent the intensity of your dark spots from increasing every time you are in the sun, remember to apply the Vinoperfect Radiance Serum Complexion Correcting under your sun cream.

Depending on the skin’s maturity and needs, the: Instant Brightening Moisturizer from the radiance routine can be replaced with the Firming Cashmere Cream Or the Premier Cru Cream We also recommend using sun protection to complete the Vinoperfect routine to minimise the effects of UVs.
