Overview

Product Details

A potent blend of active ingredients, uniquely formulated within a clay base to facilitate the even and swift penetration of these components. 4-Butylresorcinol boasts an exclusive structure that enhances its bioavailability within the skin. This compound aids in diminishing hyperpigmentation by inhibiting a pivotal enzyme, tyrosinase, which holds a significant role in the skin’s pigment production process (melanogenesis). Through direct tyrosinase activity inhibition, 4-Butylresorcinol contributes to achieving a more uniform complexion.

Mandelic acid and Phytic acid also play roles in inhibiting tyrosinase activity. Additionally, Phytic acid offers soothing properties and exerts antioxidant effects on the skin. Lactobionic acid, a gentle polyhydroxy acid, actively combats age-related free radicals, demonstrating potent antioxidant action. This acid aids in wound healing and extends cell turnover duration, thereby contributing to a brighter complexion. In synergy with Salicylic acid, Lactic acid provides exfoliation, intensifying cell turnover and enhancing the penetration of active ingredients. Lactic acid and Lactobionic acid further contribute to skin hydration. Retinol, a potent antioxidant, stimulates collagen synthesis and accelerates cell turnover, effectively mitigating hyperpigmentation. The M.E.L.A. mask represents an optimal choice for enhancing the appearance of uneven skin tone across diverse skin types and phototypes.

Key Benefits

  • Encompasses a dual approach to reduce hyperpigmentation, involving exfoliation of visibly pigmented cells and contributes to inhibit pigment production.
  • Assists in providing more even toned complexion.
  • Demonstrates the ability to counteract age-inducing free radicals through potent antioxidant action.

How to Use

Apply a thin layer of the M.E.L.A. mask to clean, dry skin. Leave on for 5 minutes. Mild temporary tingling may occur. Gently cleanse the skin with E.X.F.O. cleanse to thoroughly remove the mask, then pat dry. If severe irritation develops during the 5 minutes, immediately cleanse the skin with E.X.F.O. cleanse, pat dry, and moisturise. For heightened skin activity, and if skin tolerance permits, apply a second even layer after 5 minutes. Leave on for 10 minutes. Gently cleanse the skin with E.X.F.O. cleanse again to remove all traces of the mask, then pat dry. Use once every 3 weeks for mild skin activity and once per week for more active results. Do not use D.E.R.M.A.B.R.A.S.I.O.N. cream or any of the active prescriptions (A.C.T.I.V.E. formula or VITA A cream) on the same evening as the M.E.L.A. mask. Use in the evening ONLY.
