Pigmentary disorders, including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), vitiligo, and lichen planus pigmentosus, are among the most frequent reasons for dermatology consultations worldwide, with a greater burden in individuals with darker skin phototypes. Melasma, the most common acquired hyperpigmentation disorder, is a multifactorial condition characterized by increased melanocyte activity, dermal inflammation, vascular alterations, oxidative stress, and photoaging, contributing to its chronic course and high recurrence rate. ^[1]Ultraviolet radiation, visible light, heat, and infrared radiation also contribute to melanogenesis, highlighting the need for comprehensive photoprotection that extends beyond SPF to include broad-spectrum UVA protection, visible light protection, and antioxidant-based strategies for reducing pigmentation recurrence and improving long-term clinical outcomes. ^[2]
