Cyspera - The Pigmentation Super Hero

More than 5 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with a skin pigmentation condition. Those who experience skin pigmentation disorders, such as hyperpigmentation or melasma, know that it can be frustrating to eliminate. Melasma appears as asymptomatic brown patches that are typically symmetric and with irregular borders. The most common triggers for melasma include hormones, birth control pills, ultraviolet light, visible light, and heat. Melasma is often called the “mask of pregnancy” because it is commonly triggered by the hormonal changes associated with having a baby. Though melasma and hyperpigmentation are not harmful, these conditions can be a cosmetic nuisance. Luckily, there are products and treatments to help. 

Cyspera, a cysteamine cream is a product that works by decreasing the amount of cystine in the body. This cream is a safe and effective product for treating hyperpigmentation in comparison to the gold standard cream which is hydroquinone. Cyspera contains cystamine which naturally occurs in the body. Cystamine is found in our skin cells, as well as breast milk. 

Cyspera is known to be effective in improving the appearance of brown patches and dark spots, it is well tolerated for long term use, and does not contain any hydroquinone. It also includes a key benefit in reducing the chance of skin discoloration by maintenance use. 

Of course the first step in all efforts to reduce the appearance of melasma and skin discoloration is daily use of sunscreen. Sun exposure is a major trigger factor for all types of pigmentation. Typically a tinted zinc based sunscreen works best. Aside from topically treating pigmented skin, laser treatments can be another successful option. While some laser treatments promise to erratcate melasma, the heat from the laser may create more pigmentation, so it is important to schedule a consultation with a licensed professional prior to treatment.

Overall, Cyspera’s effectiveness and proven results make this cream the ideal solution for those with pigmentation conditions. Clinical studies have been impressive, with reports of a “glowing radiance” with use of Cyspera. If you struggle with melasma or hyperpigmentation, Cyspera is a safe and efficacious choice to help correct stubborn pigmentation.
