FAQs

How does Lion Pose minimize hyperpigmentation?
Lion Pose uses four exfoliating acids to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, age spots, acne scars, and sun spots. The acids (azelaic, tranexamic, glycolic, and lactic acids) work overnight to resurface the skin texture and improve uneven skin tone.

What is the best skincare treatment for hyperpigmentation?
AHAs including glycolic and lactic acids are the best ingredients to treat hyperpigmentation, dark spots, age spots, sun spots, acne spots, and scarring, by exfoliating the top layer of skin.

Lion Pose offers the best treatment for hyperpigmentation by blending AHAs with tyrosinase inhibitors like azelaic and tranexamic acids to fade existing spots and prevent existing spots from forming.

Are Lion Pose products suitable for sensitive skin?
Lion Pose products are thoughtfully formulated for sensitive, reactive, and redness-prone skin. We avoid synthetic fragrances and dyes, and use well-studied ingredients in skin-compatible concentrations. Many of our formulas are third-party tested on sensitive skin to help ensure tolerability.

Can I use Lion Pose products if I have eczema?
Eczema is a medical condition, so we always recommend consulting your physician or dermatologist before introducing any new skincare product. PEP TALK™ was recently accepted by the National Eczema Association, and was formulated to support dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. Our barrier-supporting ingredients are designed to help maintain moisture and comfort.

Where can I find the ingredients for each product?
You can find the complete ingredients list for each Lion Pose product page directly on its product page under the Ingredients section. Ingredients are also printed on the product's packaging for easy reference. Please note that formulations may occasionally be updated as we refine our products.
