The spots invade you, counterattack! – Laboratoires Novexpert

Spots on the skin, we don’t just cover them up, we treat them!

In DIY, if you repaint a damp spot without finding the source of the leak, you’re guaranteed to have to redo it and, above all, you won’t be able to get rid of it anytime soon. It’s the same with spots on the skin: understand before acting. And if you’re here, it’s because you share our philosophy.

Melanin, the key to a healthy glow… and to spots!

Let’s dive into the depths of the epidermis, the first layer of the skin. This is where melanin, the brown pigment that gives skin its color, is produced.

The factories that produce melanin are called melanocytes. They look like hands with long fingers (called dendrites, which you can see in the illustration). They create melanin but don’t keep it for themselves. Thanks to transporters, they pass it to their neighboring cells in the epidermis, the keratinocytes. These are the storage sites for melanin. The two types of cells communicate with each other and quietly produce melanin pigment to give our skin an even color.

Melanin goes into overdrive and skin spots settle in!

Under the action of sunlight, UV rays, the melanin factories go into overproduction mode. To protect us from damage caused by these UVs, they create more melanin than usual. The result? The keratinocytes receive more melanin and our skin appears… tanned.

So far, so good… then comes the drama!

The problem with our melanin factories is that, due to repeated sun exposure, some of them can no longer return to a normal production rate. They are constantly overproducing melanin, even when there is no sun. They are deregulated. Too much melanin is produced and accumulates within the skin cells. You guessed it… this is how spots form!

If only melanin were the only cause of skin spots

Indeed, the story doesn’t end there. Other factors can increase melanin production: hormones, stress, inflammation, genes, and more. They are responsible for other types of spots, varying in color and shape: yellow, beige, black, red—spots really show you all the colors! But if you have any doubts, the best thing is to make an appointment with a dermatologist who will closely examine any suspicious spot. By the way, isn’t it a good time to schedule your annual check-up? It’s far from unnecessary if your skin has moles. While waiting for your appointment, you can monitor them yourself using a self-diagnosis guide.

Against spots, we have THE solution and it’s not laundry detergent

The secret is in all of our palms.

Look at them—they are whiter than the rest of the body and have no spots. A miracle? No, just nature… Their skin contains a protein that limits melanin production and thus prevents spots. We have managed to reproduce the function of this protein in a bottle, that of the Targeted Spot Correcting Care. It contains an active ingredient that stimulates the production of this precious protein.

Your skin spots are discouraging you, let Novexpert take care of it!

To lighten your spots by up to 84% in one month, we added Green Tea Polyphenols, which contain EGCG, the most powerful antioxidant in tea. EGCG is found in large amounts in green tea from the imperial harvest (including the bud + the first leaf). It’s a super molecule that fights spots and aging!

One last tip for the road

Did you know that Vitamin C protects your cells from UV damage and prevents excess melanin? To recharge your anti-spot stock, choose goji berries, plums, cabbage, or blackcurrants. These fruits and vegetables contain 4 times more vitamin C than oranges.

We have many other tips to erase your spots, but for that, you need to know their exact nature. We invite you to consult with our Doctors and you will receive a complete guide full of personalized anti-spot advice!
