The Decrease concept targets skin concerns such as pigmentation by reducing what?

• A. Collagen production
• B. Hair growth
• C. Microcirculation, bacteria overgrowth, and inflammation
• D. Oil production

Answer: (C)

Pigmentation concerns come from processes that irritate and inflame the skin. The Decrease concept focuses on dialing down these inflammatory triggers and the factors that sustain them. When the skin is inflamed or irritated, melanocytes respond by producing more melanin, which darkens patches. Bacteria overgrowth can keep inflammation active, and increased microcirculation (more blood flow to the area) can make the affected skin appear red and the pigment more noticeable. By reducing microcirculation, bacterial activity, and inflammation, you lessen the stimulus for extra melanin production and help even out skin tone. Collagen production affects skin structure rather than pigment, hair growth isn’t related to pigmentation, and oil production concerns sebum and acne rather than pigment changes.
