Dreaming of brighter, blemish-free skin that simply radiates with vitality? Now you can achieve this without exorbitant costs or damaging treatments. But first, let’s delve a little deeper into what pigmentation is and its causes.

What is Pigmentation?

Pigmentation or hyperpigmentation causes skin to become darker or different in colour due to an abnormally high amount of melanin or other pigments in the skin [1]. Asians are more prone to pigmentation issues due to higher melanin production. Common pigmentation concerns include melasma, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, age spots, and Hori’s Nevus (blue-brown or slate-grey patches on the face).

Why Are Asians More Prone to Pigmentation?

Asians, in countries like Malaysia and Singapore, enjoy year-round sunshine and increased UV exposure. Asian skin also naturally produces more melanin, making it prone to pigmentation.

A thinner outer skin layer makes Asian skin more sensitive and vulnerable to damage, while more sebaceous glands lead to excess oil, acne, and scarring, which cause darker pigmentation. So, what can you do to get rid of these unsightly dark spots and patches?

Recommended Treatment Options for Asian Skin

You can protect and lighten your skin with:

• Topical treatments (containing retinol, or hydroquinone), chemical peels (with AHA and BHA), laser therapy, and microneedling (to stimulate collagen production).

Beware of these Harsh Treatments!

Certain procedures can aggravate your skin and worsen any existing pigmentation.

These include aggressive laser treatments, deep chemical peels, abrasive exfoliation, high-heat treatments (radio-frequency or deep thermal therapy), and the overuse of hydroquinone.

• Sunscreen: Since UV rays are the main cause of skin problems, daily use of sunscreen (SPF 30+) will help prevent UV damage and pigmentation.

Don’t underestimate the power of the sun’s rays to damage skin! In one landmark study, a truck driver of 28 years who did not wear any sunscreen developed skin thickening, deep wrinkles, and sagging skin on his left side that was exposed to the UVA rays that transmitted through the truck window [2]. This demonstrates exactly how your skin could age with and without sunblock. 

SUN-KISSED, DAMAGED SKIN

• Thickened skin
• Deep wrinkles
• Sagging skin

Sunscreens Can’t Give You Complete Protection

A common misconception is that applying sunscreen is sufficient to protect your skin. Using topical sunscreens may not be enough, however, due to uneven application. Sweat and water also reduce SPF efficacy. What’s more, only 55% of free radicals are blocked by sunscreens.

Unveil Fairer, More Luminous Skin, with Kordel’s FernGlow!

The safer, more natural, and effective way to achieve fairer skin and an even tone is through Kordel’s FernGlow. It contains FernBlock® Photoimmunoprotection Technology with Polypodium leucotomos extract, a star ingredient that combats hyperpigmentation and protects skin from sun damage.

FernGlow is derived from Polypodium leucotomos, a tropical fern that developed natural and superb sun protection mechanisms to ensure it thrived in the wild.

How Does FernBlock® Work?

FernBlock® offers 4 clinically proven benefits for skin protection [3]:

• Powerful Antioxidant: Neutralizes free radicals and protects skin from oxidative damage.
• Immune Support: Shields Langerhans cells, which help defend against UV-induced damage.
• DNA Protection & Repair: Helps prevent and repair UV-related cellular DNA damage.
• Skin Structure Support: Preserves collagen, fibroblasts, and extracellular matrix for healthy, youthful skin.

In short, it’s a complete, all-in-one skin protector that nourishes your skin from the inside out to ensure it stays strong, beautiful, and youthful. Together, the ingredients form a daily inner shield against the sun, pigmentation, and premature aging.

In addition, FernGlow contains 3 other potent ingredients that work synergistically to promote lovely, luminous skin:

1. This clinically-proven, superior form of L-Glutathione is more stable and able to resist stomach acid for better absorption. It stays active longer in the body for stronger skin benefits, and reduces melanin more effectively for brighter skin.

2. Made from 20% Natural Lycopene Extract, this powerful, easily absorbed, and microencapsulated ingredient is 10x more potent than regular lycopene [4]. It helps even out skin tone, keeps skin youthful, and reduces pigmentation.

3. Vitamin C

FernGlow is enhanced with potent Vitamin C to boost collagen production for firmer, plumper skin.

Proof that FernGlow Works!

Seeing is truly believing! A study showed that Kordel’s FernGlow ensured a 60% improvement in skin pigmentation in just 12 weeks! Dark spots faded, skin tone brightened, and sunscreen protection increased after consumption of FernGlow [5].

Double Your Protection, for Best Results!

For maximum sun protection, combine your sunscreen use with oral consumption of FernGlow. Sunscreens are a good start, but will not offer the vital all-round protection you need that FernGlow provides.
