Abstract
It is important to remind the aggravating role that sun exposure has on hyperpigmentations. Therefore, measures of rigorous photoprotection are mandatory. Medical makeup, transitory or definite, is an interesting option for the management of hyperpigmentations. Consequently, depigmenting dermocosmetics, used in monotherapy but - most frequently - in combination with dermatological procedures, can be used in literally all types of hyperpigmentations with an efficacy that is dependent on the specific etiology. They are suited to be part of a treatment program that has to be adapted on a case-by-case basis.
