Pigmentation and Tone

Are your dark spots getting darker, or are you just noticing them more?

Pigmentation changes are slow and cumulative. A new sun spot doesn't appear overnight. It builds over weeks of UV exposure. Without tracking, you notice it suddenly, but it started long before. Stella shows you the accumulation in real time.

What Stella observes

Stella tracks overall pigmentation, sun spots, melasma, freckle density, and skin tone. Each type of pigmentation has different drivers. Tracking them separately helps you understand what's causing changes and whether they're responding to your routine.

What tracking reveals

Whether your vitamin C is making a visible difference

You've been using vitamin C for three months. Are your pigmentation scores improving? Tracking shows you whether the investment is paying off.

Whether pigmentation flares with your cycle

Melasma can fluctuate with hormonal changes. Tracking across your cycle reveals whether pigmentation follows a predictable pattern.

Whether your SPF is enough

If sun spot scores are climbing despite daily sunscreen, something isn't working. Maybe it's the product, maybe it's reapplication, maybe it's incidental exposure. The data tells you there's a problem.

Common questions

Can Stella help with melasma?

Stella tracks the visible appearance of melasma over time. This can help you see whether it's stable, improving, or worsening in response to your routine and environment. It does not treat or diagnose melasma.

Does Stella work on darker skin tones?

Yes. Stella's ITA (skin tone) metric helps contextualise pigmentation observations for your specific skin tone. The metrics adapt to your baseline.
