Melasma is patchy brown-gray pigmentation often worsened by sun and hormones; in the Philippines, treatment usually combines strict sun protection, prescription topicals, chemical peels, and pigment-specific lasers. Results depend on depth of pigment and consistency of care—not a single “magic” session.

PIH is excess pigment after pimples, waxing, or friction. In melanin-rich Filipino skin, inflammation and UV can leave brown or gray-brown marks. Treatment pairs gentle actives, sun protection, and sometimes lasers or peels—always with a plan that avoids “more irritation, more PIH.”

Year-round high UV in the Philippines is not a “beach only” problem—commutes, glass windows, and bright overcast days all add up. For pigmentation issues like melasma and PIH, sunscreen is not optional decor; it is part of the treatment. The best SPF is one you will actually wear and reapply.
