Product Overview
Depiwhite Cream is a high-performance intensive depigmenting treatment specifically formulated to attenuate or eliminate brown spots and limit their reappearance. Depiwhite Cream is designed to even out the complexion by addressing hyperpigmentation issues such as melasma, sunspots, and age spots. The formulation utilizes a multi-phase approach to skin brightening, combining specific depigmenting active ingredients that act at different stages of the pigmentation process. By promoting the disappearance of existing spots and regulating the production of melanin, Depiwhite Cream helps restore a more uniform and radiant skin tone.
Product Composition
- Kojic Acid: A well-known skin-lightening agent that inhibits tyrosase activity to reduce melanin production.
- Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside): A stabilized form of Vitamin C that acts as an antioxidant and brightens the skin.
- Hydroquinone-Free AHA (Lactic Acid): Helps to gently exfoliate the skin's surface, accelerating the removal of pigmented cells.
- Plant-Based Extracts: Includes extracts like Vitis vinifera and Arbutin to support natural skin brightening.
- Vegetable Oils: Often contains ingredients like Grape Seed Oil to nourish and protect the skin barrier.
- Glycerin: Acts as a humectant to ensure the skin remains hydrated during the depigmentation process.

Mechanism of Action
- Inhibition of Tyrosinase: Blocks the primary enzyme responsible for the conversion of tyrosine into melanin, effectively slowing down the pigment creation process.
- Melanin Degradation: Actively works to break down and accelerate the elimination of pre-existing melanin clusters in the upper layers of the epidermis.
- Keratolytic Action: Through the use of AHAs, it promotes cellular renewal, lifting away pigmented surface cells to reveal fresher, lighter skin underneath.
- Oxidative Stress Reduction: Neutralizes free radicals that can trigger melanocyte activity, preventing new spots from forming due to environmental stressors.
- Transfer Blockade: Interferes with the transport of melanin from melanocytes to the surrounding skin cells (keratinocytes).
Key Benefits
- Targeted Spot Reduction: Focuses specifically on areas of discoloration to provide a more localized and intensive treatment.
- Uniform Complexion: Gradually blends brown spots into the surrounding skin for a balanced and even skin tone.
- Double Action: Simultaneously treats existing pigmentation while providing preventive care against the formation of new spots.
- Enhanced Skin Radiance: The exfoliating components help to remove dullness, leaving the skin looking brighter and more luminous.
- Suitable for Various Body Parts: While primarily for the face, it is effective for age spots on the hands and sun damage on the chest.
- Dermatologically Tested: Formulated to be compatible with sensitive skin types prone to hyperpigmentation.
Usage
Dosage
Depiwhite Cream is designed for daily application to the areas affected by hyperpigmentation. It is typically applied once per day, preferably in the evening, to small surface areas. For more intensive results, some individuals may transition to twice-daily application as tolerated. Visible results usually appear after 2 to 6 months of consistent use. Once the desired results are achieved, the frequency of application can be reduced to maintain the evenness of the skin tone.
Administration

| Target | Apply only to the brown spots or areas of hyperpigmentation |
| Massage | Gently rub the cream into the skin until it is fully absorbed |
| Sun Protection | During the day, apply a high SPF 50+ sunscreen to prevent spots from darkening |
| Caution | Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes |
| Limitation | Do not use on irritated or broken skin; discontinue if significant redness occurs |

Solar Lentigines: Targets "sun spots" caused by prolonged exposure to UV radiation on the face and décolleté.
Age Spots (Liver Spots): Effectively treats localized pigmentation on the back of the hands and face in aging skin.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Lightens dark marks left behind after acne, skin injuries, or inflammatory skin conditions.
