The £85 sell-out serum that fixes sun-damaged midlife skin
Beauty editors are in the unique position of seeing dozens of new beauty products every week. Of course, they don't always live up to the often inflated hype, but every now and again there's a product that gets a well-deserved thumbs up. This is where the new Hyperpigmentation Serum by Skin Rocks – the brand founded by midlife skincare guru Caroline Hirons – comes in. It's designed to tackle age spots, which many serums claim to do. However, when we saw the before and after pictures of the clinical trials of the new serum at the launch a couple of weeks ago, there were collective gasps from myself and other editors in the room. Hyperpigmentation Serum, £85, Skin Rocks Hirons' 785,000-strong Instagram followers were just as keen to get their hands on the product, so much so that on launch day, one product sold every two minutes. The serum sold out completely in five days. Clinical trials matter. This isn't just a 'test it and tell us what you think' method of trying out a product (these are consumer trials). Clinical trials are controlled studies on the effectiveness of a product, using accurate measurements by a third-party to test the efficacy of a formulation. The serum is back in stock today for anyone looking for a potential remedy for age spots or sun damage (although it's worth noting it takes at least eight weeks to see the long-term effects of any active skin serum). The £85 serum was four years in the making, driven by Hirons' own desire for a non-prescription remedy for her skin. 'Hyperpigmentation is a skin concern that is common as we get older, and particularly with women, who suffer from it much more frequently than men,' explains Hirons. 'Sun damage is cumulative, so if you tanned with barely any protection in your younger years, the sun damage from this can start to rear its head in the form of hyperpigmentation or age spots in midlife. Add hormones into the mix from contraception, pregnancy or menopause and you have the perfect storm for pigmentation issues in women over 40.' The consultant dermatologist Dr Emma Wedgeworth frequently sees patients in midlife with sun damage that was likely caused in their younger years. 'The skin has a very long memory and pigmentation can develop many years later,' she points out. 'Even if you tan very easily or don't think of yourself as sun sensitive, excessive sun exposure is very likely to catch up with you at some point.' It's no surprise then that the serum has been a hit with Hirons' largely midlife customer. What is hyperpigmentation? 'Hyperpigmentation is the over-production of melanin in certain areas of the skin causing the appearance of brown or black spots within the skin,' explains Wedgeworth. 'There are several causes of pigmentation. Some people are genetically programmed to produce irregular pigmentation with sun exposure, such as freckles in people with very light skin and sometimes red hair. 'Sun spots are different and will often present as brown patches which occur after repeated sun exposure over many years,' adds Wedgeworth. 'Melanin production becomes less efficient with sun damage and spills out, leaving a brown mark on the skin. Melasma is a type of hormonal pigmentation which is often seen in pregnancy or in women on the oral contraceptive pill. It frequently occurs in a mask-like distribution over the face and is often triggered by an episode of intense sun exposure.' Another reason for hyperpigmentation is post-inflammatory pigmentation, which is caused by inflammatory skin diseases such as acne and eczema. This mainly occurs in darker skin tones as the inflammatory processes damage and interfere with the pigment production. How can we prevent hyperpigmentation from occurring in the first place? 'This depends on the cause of the pigmentation,' says Wedgeworth. 'For example, post-inflammatory pigmentation occurs after inflammation within the skin like acne or blemishes. So treating the underlying inflammation (for example breakouts, acne or eczema) will prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from developing. With many other forms of pigmentation – such as sun spots or melasma – strict sun protection is the key to minimising hyperpigmentation.' This means using high factor sun protection which covers UVB, UVA, long wave UVA and visible light, and also covering up with clothing and hats.

Results from this new pigmentation serum are incredible – skin is transformed in weeks
A new serum has just launched to treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots, with incredible results. It's already flown off the shelves, but here's where you can still buy it Pigmentation can be a tricky skin concern to treat, but if there's one person we trust to give it a darn good go, it's skincare guru Caroline Hirons. As well as an excellent new book on teen skin, Caroline also founded the skincare brand Skin Rocks, and its newest product is The Hyperpigmentation Serum – and it has delivered some of the most impressive before-and-after results on dark spots we've ever seen. The Hyperpigmentation Serum, £85 and £75 for refills, contains a blend of effective, scientific ingredients as you'd expect from the no-nonsense Queen of Skin to help to fade dark marks, red marks, sun spots and melasma. It's clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark marks and sun spots by up to 17% after four weeks, and by up to 24% after eight weeks, as well as reducing red marks and evening the skin tone. It's the tester before-and-after photos, however, that left us really gobsmacked. The image at the top of the page shows one tester's skin before and after using this Skin Rocks serum for 12 weeks, with their facial pigmentation noticeably diminished. Over on the Skin Rocks Instagram account, there's also another jaw-dropping transformation of a woman named Michelle, who had a combination of hypopigmentation (a loss of pigment in the skin) and hyperpigmentation. These are her results after eight weeks of using this serum – a huge reduction in her pigmentation issues, and some of the best we've ever seen from a topical product. Down in the comments section, Michelle gave her thoughts on this product: "My skin was instantly more radiant and brighter after the first use. After a few weeks of using it I noticed my skin cell turnover had increased, helping with hormonal spots. My skin looks more even, smoother and healthier. Most of all the results I achieved from using the serum for just 8 weeks, has given me the confidence to be able to leave the house without make-up on. Something I haven't done for many years. I highly recommend this product." Another early testers wrote: "I've struggled with hyperpigmentation for over 20 years, and I can honestly say this is the first product that has made a visible difference. Around the 4-week mark, I started to notice the pigmentation fading—and by the end of the 8-week trial, the improvement was undeniable. My skin looked clearer, brighter, and felt significantly softer." "In 8 weeks my pigmentation patches were reduced and the overall texture of skin was smoother, brighter with pores minimised," a third person agreed. "I have had so many compliments on my skin and can't for the release date so I can start using it again. I am excited to see what 6 months can do!" The Hyperpigmentation Serum sold out on the Skin Rocks website shortly after launching; we're told there'll be a restock soon, but in the meantime you can also buy it from Space NK. Of course, it's not the cheapest product on the market, however we do believe you get what you pay for with a brand like Skin Rocks. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to try, there's Glow-C Tranexamic 5% Serum, £27, from Facetheory, another skincare brand that posts a lot of before and after imagery. Paula's Choice is another brand created by a skincare expert – Paula Begoun – and its Discoloration Repair Serum is now reduced from £52 to £41.60.

Skin Rocks' New Serum Tackles All Hyperpigmentation
I know a thing or two about stubborn facial hyperpigmentation. While pigmentation refers to the natural coloration of the skin, hair, and eyes caused by melanin, hyperpigmentation describes the the process of excess of melanin production caused by various factors like inflammation and sun exposure. This manifests as discolouration, uneven skin tone and dark spots. As someone who has struggled with acne since the age of 18, I'm well versed in the struggle of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, that being, those deep seated scars that linger well after a breakout has cleared. It means that while I've developed a steady acne-safe routine, I've also paid close attention to the kind of products that don't just keep spots at bay, but clear up the mess once they've gone. And, Skin Rocks' new The Hyperpigmentation Serum, £85, promises to do just that. Four years in the making, brand founder and no-nonsense talking beauty expert, Caroline Hirons, certainly took her time to cook up this hotly anticipated product requested her a legion of 785k loyal Instagram fans. The Hyperpigmentation Serum, which launched this week, has already created a buzz online and it's not hard to see why. Promising to tackle all types of hyperpigmentation, from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, to sun spots, red marks (also known as post-inflammatory erythema), as well as medical conditions like melasma, the serum promises to be the single antidote to a series of problems that are all characterised by hyperpigmentation. Clinical trials for the serum found a reduction in brown spots by up to 17% after 4 weeks, and up to 24% after 8 weeks ©Skin Rocks Staying loyal to the brand's results-driven, efficacious and totally transparent DNA, the serum takes a formula-first approach that has been proven to deliver. The clinical and consumer trials that span eight to twelve weeks with a cohort of 167 participants using the serum in silo have revealed seriously impressive results. For example, consumer trials reported a whopping 90% improvement in brighter looking skin, while the clinical study proved a 24% reduction of brown spots after eight weeks of use. Safe to say the before and after images speak for themselves. The results boil down to a clever formula that inhibits various pathways for pigment overproduction. Safe to use on all skin types, tones and even ages, the carefully charged serum is loaded with turmeric-derived antioxidant tetrahydrodiferuloymethane (THDFM) which restricts the power of hyperpigmentation-causing enzyme tyrosinase, skin brightening peptides tetrapeptide-30 and acetyl glycyl beta-alanine, excess melanin blocking hexylresorcinol and ethyl linoleate, as well as a stabilised form of hero ingredients vitamin C and barrier strengthening niacinamide. Together, the hardworking cocktail has been clinically proven to correct dark spots, even out skin tones, and lend a brighter, more radiant complexion.
