Benefits of Melasma Serum
Meet the Top Dogs
Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic acid is a potent ingredient renowned for its ability to address pigmentation concerns effectively. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and hyperpigmentation, thereby fading existing discoloration and preventing the formation of new spots.
Kojic Dipalmitate
Known for its skin-brightening properties, Kojic Dipalmitate helps to inhibit melanin production, effectively reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Licorice Root Extract
Licorice root extract contains compounds that inhibit tyrosinase activity, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. This makes it an excellent choice for fading dark spots and promoting a more even skin tone.
Alpha Arbutin
Alpha Arbutin is a potent skin-lightening agent that inhibits melanin production, helping to fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots while promoting a brighter complexion.
Granactive Retinol
Granactive Retinol stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, which can help to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of pigmentation issues over time.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C)
As a powerful antioxidant, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) helps to neutralize free radicals and brighten the skin. It also inhibits melanin production, making it effective for reducing hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone.
Turmeric Extract
Turmeric extract contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties. It helps to reduce inflammation and redness associated with pigmentation issues while promoting a more even skin tone and texture.
SKIN TYPES
All skin types except extremely dry and overly sensitive skin. However, you should always carry out a patch test before applying a new product.
HOW TO DO A PATCH TEST
Performing a patch test is a crucial step when introducing a new skincare product to your routine, as it can help you to determine whether the product is safe for your skin and whether you may have an adverse reaction to it. Here are the steps for performing a patch test:
- Choose a small area of skin on your inner forearm or behind your ear that is easily accessible and not visible.
- Apply a small amount of the product to the area and spread it evenly.Â
- Wait for at least 24-48 hours and observe the area for any signs of redness, itching, swelling, or irritation. If you have a reaction, remove the product immediately and rinse the area with cool water.
- If you do not experience any adverse reactions after 24-48 hours, it is likely safe to use the product on your face.
HOW TO USE
- At night, cleanse with a gentle cleanser, such as our Pigmentation or Honey and Oats Cleanser.
- Apply a pea-size amount to your entire face. Â
This product works really well with our pigmentation night serum and pigmentation exfoliant.
If you're new to retinol, start every other night until your skin gets used to the product. Then increase to every night. While most people are able to use this product daily, use it according to how your skin responds.
You can even  use for three nights in a row and on the fourth night do not use, give your skin a break.
