Why is Vitistop Gel in the Vitiligo Shop?
- Restores natural pigmentation: Stimulates melanin production and the formation of new pigment.
- Speeds up phototherapy: Enhances the effectiveness of UVB (311 nm) or controlled sun exposure for faster, more visible results.
- Slows the progression of vitiligo: Reduces the formation of new patches and protects healthy areas of skin.
- Regenerates melanocytes: Supports the renewal of pigment-producing cells and promotes healthier skin.
How Vitistop Gel Works
Melanocytes are skin cells that produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. In vitiligo, these cells can become inactive or be destroyed, leading to white patches. The blend of natural extracts and evidence-based actives in Vitistop Gel helps reactivate and support melanocytes so they can resume normal function for a more even, natural skin tone.
Repigmentation Stages (Vitistop Gel)
Stage 1
Early phaseWhite patches may begin to show a faint pink colouration, indicating the initial reactivation of melanocytes.

Stage 2
Blending phasePink areas begin to shrink and transform into new pigment, which is initially darker than the surrounding skin.

Stage 3
CompletionDepigmented patches disappear and the skin regains a uniform colour. Repigmentation is complete.

Our Advanced Formula
Vitistop Gel brings together the latest research to deliver a balanced blend of active ingredients:
- Superoxide Dismutase (SOD): Neutralises free radicals and helps restore the skin’s antioxidant balance.
- Babchi oil (Psoralea seed oil): Encourages melanocytes to produce melanin naturally.
- Copper & Zinc: Support tyrosinase, a key enzyme in pigmentation.
- Vitamins B5 & B12: Support skin health and melanin synthesis.
- Calcium Pantothenate: Helps melanin production and supports copper uptake for optimal results.
Suitable for adults and children aged 3 and over.
How To Use For Best Results
- Preparation before treatment: Apply 30 minutes before going out in the sun or before UVB therapy.
- Gradual increase in exposure: Start with short intervals (e.g. 5 minutes in the sun or as directed for your UVB lamp) and gradually extend them as your skin adapts.
- Desired effect: Continue increasing these intervals until the vitiligo areas become slightly red – this indicates effective stimulation of pigment production.
- Important information:
Only expose the skin to the UVB lamp or sunlight once any redness has completely subsided and the vitiligo patches are light again.
For this reason, irradiation is usually carried out 2 to 3 times per week so that the skin has enough time to recover between sessions. - Results: The first signs of new pigment formation can usually be expected within 3–6 weeks.
Clinical Expertise & Our Guarantee

“No cream for vitiligo — even prescription creams — works without light, whether from a UVB lamp or the sun. Without phototherapy, the renewal of melanocytes — the pigment-forming cells — is not triggered. Light is essential in vitiligo care. Vitistop Gel markedly enhances the effect of phototherapy.”
