The "Anchor Serum" in your Pigmentation Control Skincare Routine: Aspect Dr Complete Pigment Plus
Aspect Dr Complete Pigment Plus is an 'anchor serum' designed to be layered with other serums, making it one of the most versatile products in the Aspect Dr range. It contains tranexamic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C, antioxidants and barrier-supporting ingredients, so it pairs well with products that target hydration, ageing, redness or acne.
Here are the best pairings depending on your skin goals:
| Skin Concern | Pair With | Why it Works |
|---|---|---|
| Pigmentation & melasma | Aspect Dr Intensive C (AM) | Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection while Complete Pigment Plus targets existing pigmentation. |
| Pigmentation & dehydration | Aspect Dr Penta-Hydration | Hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates, helping maintain a healthy skin barrier while treating pigmentation. |
| Pigmentation & ageing | Aspect Dr Optiboost Serum | Peptides and growth factor technology complement the brightening ingredients for firmer, smoother skin. |
| Pigmentation & redness | Aspect Dr Redless Advanced | Niacinamide and calming ingredients help reduce inflammation while Complete Pigment Plus fades discolouration. |
| Pigmentation & barrier repair | Aspect Dr Ceramide Serum | Excellent if pigmentation is accompanied by sensitivity or a compromised skin barrier. |
| Pigmentation & acne | Aspect Dr Multi B Plus | Niacinamide, B vitamins and antioxidants help regulate oil and strengthen the skin while addressing post-inflammatory pigmentation. |
