THE SCIENCE BEHIND
Melanin production: Melasyl™ has a new mode of action compared with referent dermatological actives: it’s an interceptor of melanin precursors. It acts early in the mechanism of melanin synthesis to avoid its overproduction and the appearance of pigmentary concerns in the form of dark spots on the skin.  Clinically tested on all skin tones, our multi-patented Melasyl™ is the result of 18 years of research, selected over 4,000 molecules. Honouring the skin’s natural melanin production, MELA B3 respects the natural beauty of our skin, suitable for all tones and types, including sensitive skin. Alcohol-free, hypoallergenic & non-comedogenic formula, developed with dermatologists. Targets all pigment irregularities even persistent dark spots. Also suitable for those who may be prone to post-acne marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation/ PIH), sun spots and age spots.  Complete formula acts in several ways to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Active ingredients include: Melasyl™, 10% Niacinamide, Retinol (retinyl palmitate), Hyaluronic Acid & LHA. Our formula gently promotes skin surface renewal & exfoliation for a more radiant look.
