Hormonal pigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns among Indian women — yet it is also one of the most misunderstood.
Whether it appears around the mouth, on the cheeks, forehead, or jawline, hormonal pigmentation can make the skin look uneven, dull, and patchy.

But the good news is:
👉 Vitamin C is one of the best ingredients to repair, brighten, and control hormonal pigmentation — especially when paired with sun protection.

This blog explores why hormonal pigmentation develops in women, how Vitamin C helps fix it, and why CLARIV Vitamin C Serum is an excellent option for glowing, even-toned skin.

⭐ What Is Hormonal Pigmentation?

Hormonal pigmentation occurs when hormones trigger excessive melanin production.
This is especially common during:

• Puberty

• Pregnancy

• Birth control usage

• Stress

• Thyroid imbalances

• PCOS

• Menstrual fluctuations

It usually shows up as:

• Dark patches around the mouth

• Brown spots on cheeks

• Forehead darkness

• Upper-lip hyperpigmentation

• Uneven skin tone

This type of pigmentation is stubborn — but consistent skincare can lighten it significantly.

⭐ Why Women Experience Hormonal Pigmentation More Than Men

Women undergo hormonal shifts more frequently, leading to:

• Increased melanin activity

• Skin sensitivity

• Uneven tone after sun exposure

• Dark patches during stress or hormonal fluctuations

This is why women need brightening + antioxidant + barrier-strengthening care, and Vitamin C delivers exactly that.

⭐ How Vitamin C Helps Women With Hormonal Pigmentation

Vitamin C is a powerhouse ingredient — and for melanin-related issues, its benefits are unmatched.

Here’s how it works:

1. Reduces Melanin Production

Hormonal pigmentation happens when melanin clusters in specific areas.
Vitamin C slows down the melanin enzyme (tyrosinase), helping lighten dark patches.

2. Brightens Existing Brown Patches

If pigmentation has already formed, Vitamin C gently breaks down melanin, revealing a brighter, more even tone.

3. Repairs Sun-Induced Worsening

Hormonal pigmentation gets much darker with sun exposure.
Vitamin C shields the skin from UV-triggered melanin spikes.

4. Protects Skin From Pollution & Stress

Free radicals from pollution worsen pigmentation.
Vitamin C neutralizes them instantly.

5. Boosts Collagen for Smoother Skin

Pigmented areas can look rough or uneven.
Vitamin C boosts collagen, improving texture.

6. Helps Control Recurrence

Consistent Vitamin C use reduces the chance of pigmentation returning after treatment.
