Depig F Ointment

Depig F Ointment belongs to a combination of 'skin cosmetics' primarily used for brighter, more radiant skin complexation. Besides this, it is also used to clears the complexion and acne scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and photoaging (premature ageing of the skin caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation). Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. Melasma is a common skin problem that causes dark, discoloured patches on your skin. Dark spots occur when some skin areas start producing more melanin (a natural pigment that gives colour to eyes, hair and skin), ranging from light to dark brown.
