VitiligoShop Product Guide: What Each Product Does and Who It Is For

Every product in our shop exists for one reason: it earned a place in the routine that repigmented our founder's vitiligo and that our customers follow. This page explains what each product does, how it fits the 7-step protocol and which one to pick if you are choosing between similar options. Prices, stock and full details are on the product pages.

Repigmentation gels – prepare the skin for light
