My vitiligo journey

Almost three decades ago, I first noticed my skin losing its natural pigment. At the time, I didn’t know much about vitiligo, but as the white patches began to
spread—growing larger and appearing in unexpected places—I quickly sought ways to conceal them. The changes not only altered my appearance but also forced a complete lifestyle shift. As someone who adored sun-soaked days, I had to forgo beach holidays, and my cherished year-round tan from sunbeds was no longer an option since it only accentuated the patches. Yet, the most profound impact was on my confidence. Every morning, I devoted countless hours to covering my patches, struggling to keep up with routine tasks like getting my two little ones ready for school. It made me wonder if others shared this burden—I later learned that around 50 million people worldwide live with vitiligo.

I experimented with every corrective cosmetic and sunless tanner available. While some products offered a temporary solution, nothing truly addressed all my needs. Corrective creams were not only expensive but also time-consuming to apply on a daily basis. Sunless tanners, on the other hand, left me with an unnatural, orange hue and failed to seamlessly blend the patches. For years, I combined different products while continuing the search for that “perfect” solution. Eventually, I decided to take matters into my own hands by collaborating with a pharmacist and a manufacturer to develop a product specifically designed for people with vitiligo.
My personal struggle with vitiligo and the relentless routine of covering up every single day shaped my vision for this product. I wanted something that was both user-friendly and affordable, but also effective; it had to include SPF so I could enjoy a few minutes of safe sunshine. It needed to be quick to apply before work, resistant enough to stay put without transferring onto my clothes, sweat-proof to withstand vigorous gym sessions, and easily removable at the end of the day. This vision ultimately gave birth to VITILIGLOW™.
Developing VITILIGLOW™ opened a gateway to an incredible community. Through my blog, social media, and online forums, I connected with fellow patchy individuals, sharing stories and photos that highlighted our collective journey. I cherish the feedback I receive, especially the before-and-after photos that grace the website,Facebook and Instagram pages —testaments to the transformation VITILIGLOW™ can deliver. Since launching it in 2013, customer insights have been invaluable, driving continuous improvements in both the formula and the application method—so that finally, people with vitiligo have a product we truly deserve.
For me, VITILIGLOW™ isn’t just another cosmetic; it’s literally “confidence in a bottle.” My hope is that it empowers you to blend your patches, embrace your skin, and reclaim the self-assurance that may have faded along with your pigment.
