UVA and pollution produce oxidative stress in the skin. This causes two types of damage:
- Deep down, an imbalance in melanocytes.
- On the surface, oxidation of the melanin present in keratinocytes.

To correct dark spots and prevent their re-appearance, La Roche-Posay has developed PIGMENTCLAR UV SPF30. This innovative skin correcting moisturiser combines the powerful PIGMENTCLAR PhE-Resorcinol anti-dark spot complex with La Roche-Posay's advanced UV filtering system to provide triple protection against pollution, long UVA, and oxidation.

- Its anti-pollution texture prevents pollutant particles from adhering to skin.
- Innovative UVB SPF30 – UVA PPD15 filter system with Mexoryl SX & XL also filters long UVAs.
- Gingko extract + Ferulic Acid complex provides effective antioxidant action.

Long UVA and pollution have a considerable impact on the appearance of dark spots and a dull complexion.
LONG UVA:
- Makes up 75% of UV
- Is present all year round
- Penetrates to the dermis and causes pigmentation disorders
POLLUTION:
- Is increasing, and present throughout the world
- Has an adverse impact on complexion quality*

PhE-Resorcinol targets melanocytes and inhibits melanin production making it remarkably effective against dark spots.
- 1,000 x more effective than vitamin C*
- 100 x more effctive than kojic acid*
- As effective as the leading molecule used by dermatologists**

*In vitro test: PhE-Resorcinol is compared with kojic acid and vitamin C, in terms of minimum concentration needed to reduce 50% of melanin expressed at the basal level in a co-culture of melanocytes / keratinocytes.
**The association of PhE-Resorcinol 0.3% + LHA 0.3% has a comparable efficacy to that of Hydroquinone at 4% on UV-induced pigmentation.
