Your Skin Barrier Might Be Making Your Hyperpigmentation Worse

When your dark marks won’t fade, no matter what products you use, your skin barrier could be the issue. A weakened barrier makes the skin more reactive, more inflamed, and less capable of healing—making hyperpigmentation worse, not better.

The barrier is your skin’s protective shield. Harsh products, over-exfoliation, and skipping SPF can all break it down. Signs include:

• Redness or burning with new products

• Flaky or itchy texture

• New or worsening breakouts

The good news? A damaged barrier can be repaired. We recommend calming, moisture-rich ingredients like oat extract, ceramides, and panthenol. But even better? Treating your skin professionally with a barrier-repair facial or the UltraRay Hydrate Facial designed for melanin-rich skin.
