How Vitistop Gel Works
Melanocytes are epidermal cells responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. In vitiligo, these cells may become inactive or be destroyed, resulting in depigmented patches. Combination of natural extracts and evidence‑informed active ingredients in Vitistop Gel supports melanocyte regeneration and a return towards physiological function for a more uniform, natural skin tone:
Phase 1
Depigmented areas may begin to show a faint pink hue, indicating initial reactivation of melanocytes.
Phase 2
Pink areas begin to contract and gradually blend with surrounding skin as melanin synthesis increases.
Phase 3
In this phase, the depigmented vitiligo patches have disappeared and the skin has regained a uniform colour.
Key actives
- Superoxide dismutase (SOD): Helps neutralise free radicals and rebalance cutaneous oxidative stress.
- Babchi (Psoralea) seed oil: Supports melanocyte stimulation and natural melanin production.
- Copper & zinc ions: Trace minerals involved in activating tyrosinase, essential for pigmentation.
- Vitamins B5 & B12: Contribute to overall skin health and pigment synthesis.
- Calcium pantothenate: Aids melanin production and supports copper utilisation.
Suitable for adults and children from 3 years of age.
How to use
- Before phototherapy: Apply a thin layer to vitiligo areas 30 minutes before sunlight or UVB lamp exposure.
- Build gradually: Start with short sessions (e.g., ~5 minutes outdoors or as per your UVB lamp manual) and extend progressively.
- Target response: Aim for mild, transient pinkness. Wait until any redness has fully settled and the skin appears pale again before the next exposure (typically 2–3× weekly).
- Night support (optional): Re-apply before bedtime.
- Timeframe: Early signs of new pigmentation may appear in ~3–6 weeks. Individual responses vary.
