How does Vitiligo Cover™ Lotion work?

When your skin tans by the sun, it is due to the sun reacting to the melanin in the cells just below the skin surface. As your dead skin cells slough off, your tan naturally fades. Vitiligo Cover™ lotion mimics that natural process. Similar to the sun tanning your skin, the DHA (derived from natural sugars) reacts with the cells just below the skins surface causing them to produce coloring, and as your dead skin cells slough off, the color will fade (usually about 1 week).

Is Vitiligo Cover™ safe to use with other vitiligo treatments?

Yes. Vitiligo Cover™ lotion is safe to use with topical treatment creams and ointments; simply apply the medication prior to the lotion. I used Vitiligo Cover lotion during my NB-UVB treatments after it was approved for use by my dermatologist.

How long will one 6oz bottle last?

There’s a couple of variables that go into answering this question: where you’re applying it and your height and weight. I am 5’5″ and weigh 125lbs, I use the lotion on my entire body each week and 1 bottle lasts a little over 3 months. However, if you apply it only to your hands and face, the bottle should last for many months.

Is Vitiligo Cover™ safe to use on children?

Vitiligo Cover™ Lotion is safe for any age, but it is recommended that parents apply the lotion to children under the age of 10.

How do i know what color will match my skin tone?

You can’t buy the wrong color. The DHA reacts with your own skin cells to produce the color. If you have a dark complexion, you will want to experiment with layering the lotion until you have the exact color to match your natural skin tone. Detailed instructions do come with your package to help guide you.

What makes Vitiligo Cover™ different from over-the-counter products?

Vitiligo Cover™ is manufactured by a company that pioneered the original 100% natural, chemical-free sun care products in the early 1990’s and they have set the same exacting standards for all of their organic skin care products.

Also, Vitiligo Cover™ contains 8% DHA, almost twice as much as other products, and because our lotion base is a unique formula which is carefully selected from nature’s most nutrient- and vitamin-rich plants, and minerals (Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Rosehips Oil, and Walnut Extract) it improves the health, texture, and appearance of your skin.

What is DHA and is it safe to use with vitiligo?

First, I’d like to say that DHA is perfectly safe to use on vitiligo and is highly recommended by doctors, dermatologists, and scientists, as safe and effective means of covering vitiligo white patches. Ask your dermatologist and/or check any of the reputable medical websites for confirmation.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a simple sugar derived from the sugar cane plant that has been used worldwide in the cosmetics industry for over 30 years. DHA is a colorless sugar that interacts with dead surface cells in the outer skin, staining the skin darker. The effect is temporary, because as the dead cells naturally slough off, the color fades, disappearing within a week unless the lotion has been reapplied. DHA is the only FDA-approved skin-tinting additive. Products containing this chemical don’t photo-age the skin or contribute to skin cancer.

Do I apply the Vitiligo Cover™ Lotion on the vitiligo white patch only or to the normal skin as well?

I use it all over, and this is what I always recommend; it just helps the blending look so much better.
