Pigmentation: The Hidden Role of Inflammation
Pigmentation often begins with underlying inflammation triggered by breakouts, stress, UV exposure, and hormonal shifts. Inflammatory messengers activate melanocytes, increasing melanin production that can become deeply embedded and difficult to fade. A smart skincare plan starts with calming inflammation, then introduces brightening and barrier repair for lasting clarity.

What “Secretory” Means in Skin Science
'Secretory' refers to the process by which cells release chemical messengers into their environment. In skin science, senescent cells secrete inflammatory molecules (SASP) that contribute to oxidative stress and ageing. Managing this secretory activity through antioxidants, nutrition, and lifestyle supports healthier skin and slows inflammageing.
