What Fixderma Says
Product Description:
Skarfix Plus cream is the best treatment for hyperpigmentation. A powerful cream to effectively diminish the appearance of Melasma, PIE, PIH and hyperpigmentation. It reduces hyper pigmentation, melasma, acne scars, lighten freckles & provides UV protection. Skarfix Plus cream's mechanism is based on the inhibition of tyrosinase, a basic enzyme in the melanin formation process. Skarfix Plus cream is made with Kojic Acid with the therapeutic percentage i.e. 2% which is considered as the safest option in treating melasma. It reduces the activity of melanocyte tyrosinase thereby treating melasma, UV-induced hyperpigmentation and other post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Arbutin is a natural demelanizing agent ideal for stubborn dark spots that do not respond to other skin lightening agents. Arbutin dramatically reduces dark spots and blemishes for brighter, even-looking skin. Melasma is a difficult skin issue to treat. Generally, a single ingredient is not capable to show significant results. Skarfix Plus is a blend of multiple anti hyperpigmentation actives which work synergistically to give desired results. Kojic acid along with arbutin are the most acclaimed actives which helps to even out the darkened skin. Vitamin C helps to increase the absorption of these actives and can help scavenge and counteract skin-damaging free radicals caused by exposure to things such as UV damage and pollution.
