Melasma Pro Duo

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) is a next-generation retinoid that delivers the powerful skin-renewing benefits of prescription-strength retinoic acid—without the irritation. Uniquely stable and highly bioavailable, HPR works directly at the cellular level to visibly improve the appearance of melasma and stubborn pigmentation.

Unlike traditional retinols that require multiple conversion steps, HPR binds directly to retinoid receptors in the skin, helping to regulate melanin production, fade dark patches, and accelerate cell turnover for a brighter, more even complexion. It also supports collagen synthesis, helping to smooth texture, reduce fine lines, and refine the skin over time.

Perfect for those with melanin-rich or sensitive skin, HPR offers all the benefits of a retinoid—clarity, smoothness, and radiance—without the usual redness or peeling. A true innovation for those looking to treat melasma effectively and gently.

Tranexamic Acid is a potent, multi-action melanin inhibitor that fades dark spots, melasma, and discoloration by blocking melanin production, calming inflammation, and strengthening the skin barrier. It also helps reduce acne and post-acne scars.

Kojic Acid is a powerhouse brightening agent renowned for its effectiveness in treating melasma and stubborn hyperpigmentation. Naturally derived from fermented rice and fungi, Kojic Acid works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production—helping to visibly fade dark spots, melasma patches, and discoloration at the source.

What makes Kojic Acid especially valuable for melasma-prone skin is its ability to gently lighten pigmentation without bleaching, making it safe and effective for melanin-rich and sensitive skin types. With consistent use, it promotes a more even, luminous complexion and helps prevent new pigment from forming.

Whether you’re targeting sun-induced pigmentation or hormonally triggered melasma, Kojic Acid is a trusted, science-backed ingredient that helps restore clarity, balance, and radiance to your skin.

Niacinamide—also known as Vitamin B3—is a multitasking skin brightener that plays a powerful role in managing melasma and uneven skin tone. Its key strength lies in its ability to inhibit the transfer of melanin to skin cells, helping to visibly reduce dark patches and discoloration caused by sun exposure, inflammation, or hormonal changes.

Not only fades pigmentation but also calms inflammation, strengthens the skin barrier, and improves moisture retention—making it especially beneficial for skin that’s reactive or prone to irritation.

With continued use, niacinamide helps to brighten dull skin, improve texture, and support a more even, radiant complexion—all while reducing the risk of future pigmentation flare-ups. A gentle yet effective essential for anyone treating melasma.

Ethyl Ascorbate is a stabilized form of Vitamin C that targets melasma and dark spots with precision. It works by inhibiting melanin production, helping to visibly brighten skin and fade discoloration without irritation.

Gentle yet powerful, it also protects against oxidative stress, a key trigger of melasma, and boosts collagen for smoother, more radiant skin.

Glycolic Acid is a powerful alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps treat melasma and hyperpigmentation by accelerating cell turnover and gently exfoliating discolored skin cells. Its small molecular size allows it to penetrate deeply, targeting excess melanin to fade dark spots and uneven patches more effectively.

By resurfacing the skin and boosting the absorption of other brightening ingredients, glycolic acid helps reveal a clearer, more even complexion—making it an essential ingredient for reducing both melasma and general hyperpigmentation.
