What are age or liver spots and what causes them?Age, sun or liver spots (Solar Lentigines) and freckles (Ephelides) are tan, brown, ashen-grey (on people with darker skin tones) or black spots that generally appear on the backs of the hand, face and body. They are caused by prolonged or repeated sun exposure or burns and can grow over time.
Brown or ashen patches of skin (Chloasma or Melasma) can also occur from birth control pills, anti-epilepsy drugs, pregnancy (Linea Nigra and the mask of pregnancy), or estrogen replacement therapy (hormone masking). Other health-related problems can be possible causes. It is recommended that you should consult with your doctor should your skin undergo sudden or unexpected changes in colour.
Regardless of the cause this hyperpigmentation on the skin is formed by areas of increased melanin production (responsible for skin pigment and tanning) and melanin that has accumulated within the top layer of skin (epidermis). Melanin is created by melanin synthesis, a complex process partially controlled by an enzyme called tyrosinase.
Rejuvi 'w' lightens, removes and prevents this undesirable pigmentation.
Rejuvi w is a unique whitening cream that combines Vitamin E & C, Kojic acid (derived from malted rice), and other ingredients to form a powerful depigmenting effect, that effectively lightens and removes unwanted patches of skin pigment on the face and body, evening out the skin tone and returning it to its natural state.
Licorice extract is also incorporated to inhibit tyrosinase and a special wheat germ extract to alter the melanogensis to produce lighter coloured skin pigment (pheomelanin). These help prevent undesirable pigmentation.
w Skin Whitening Cream is the most complete lightening formula available. With regular use undesirable pigmentation can be reversed and prevented, a noticable improvement in skintone can be seen within two weeks.
