Can melasma be permanently cured?

Melasma is considered a chronic condition. While visible pigment can be significantly reduced, maintenance is usually required to prevent relapse. The goal is long-term stability rather than permanent removal.

Why did my melasma worsen after laser treatment?

Laser can trigger inflammation and heat stress, which may stimulate melanocytes in melasma-prone skin. Without prior stabilisation, this can increase rebound risk.

Is hydroquinone safe for long-term use?

Hydroquinone can be effective short-term but is not typically recommended indefinitely. Long-term management requires regulated use and structured monitoring.

How gentle should melasma treatment be?

Melasma-prone skin benefits from controlled correction. Excess intensity often increases reactivity. Gentle does not mean ineffective — it means sustainable.

Why does melasma keep coming back?

Triggers such as hormones, UV exposure, heat and inflammation remain active even after pigment fades. Without stabilising these factors, recurrence is common.

Can I treat melasma if I have sensitive skin?

Yes. Sensitive skin requires a structured, barrier-first approach that avoids aggressive layering and prioritises inflammation control.

Is sunscreen alone enough to manage melasma?

Sunscreen is essential but not sufficient on its own. Regulation of pigment pathways and inflammation is also required.

How long should I stay on a melasma protocol?

Initial correction may take 3–6 months. Maintenance is often ongoing with adjusted intensity.

What causes melasma to flare?

Common triggers include heat, sun exposure, hormonal changes, barrier damage and overuse of strong actives.

Can pregnancy-related melasma be treated?

Yes, though timing and ingredient selection must be appropriate. Post-pregnancy treatment is often more effective once hormones stabilise.

Is melasma deeper than normal pigmentation?

Often yes. It can exist in both epidermal and dermal layers, which is why aggressive removal attempts may not work.

Should I use multiple active ingredients at once?

Layering multiple actives increases irritation risk. Controlled sequencing is safer and more effective long-term.

Why does my skin feel worse when I start treatment?

Overly strong correction can disrupt the barrier. Stabilisation first reduces this reaction.

Does melasma get worse with age?

Hormonal shifts, cumulative UV exposure and skin thinning can increase visibility over time without proper management.

Can melasma improve without procedures?

Yes. A structured topical system combined with strict photoprotection can produce significant improvement when applied consistently.

Description

Daily Micro-Correction for Pigmentation-Prone Skin. Controlled pigmentation correction for skin that needs consistency — not intensity.

Mela Peel is a daily leave-on micropeel designed to gradually improve uneven tone while maintaining skin stability. Instead of aggressively forcing pigment to lift, the formula works by regulating pigment signalling, supporting healthy cell renewal, and calming inflammation — key drivers of melasma and persistent pigmentation.

This controlled approach helps reduce the risk of irritation, rebound darkening, and over-treatment, making it suitable for long-term use in pigment-reactive skin.

With consistent use, skin appears:

• brighter
• smoother
• more even
• calmer

Multi-Pathway Pigmentation Support

Mela Peel combines clinical actives that support pigmentation correction across multiple pathways — helping regulate melanin production while encouraging controlled skin renewal.

ALGAKTIV® RetinART (Marine Bio-Retinol)
A next-generation retinoid alternative that supports skin renewal and pigment regulation. Clinical testing at 1% showed a 33% reduction in melanin synthesis, outperforming retinol and bakuchiol.

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR)
Encourages gentle cellular renewal to help gradually lift pigmented cells.

Tranexamic Acid, Alpha Arbutin & Kojic Acid
Help reduce excess melanin production and improve uneven tone.

Niacinamide & Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbate)
Support barrier strength while brightening and protecting against oxidative stress.

Azelaic Acid
Helps calm inflammation while supporting gradual pigment correction.

Barrier & Recovery Support

Pigmentation-prone skin often reacts to irritation. Mela Peel includes calming and regenerative ingredients that support skin stability during treatment.

Centella, Aloe-PDRN, Rose-PDRN and Soy-PDRN help soothe inflammation, reinforce the skin barrier, and support healthy skin regeneration.

Hero Ingredients

Marine Bio-Retinol, A next-generation marine bio-retinol derived from Mediterranean microalgae. Designed to mimic the performance of traditional retinoids without the irritation they often cause. Helps regulate pigment activity while supporting skin renewal and repair. Clinical Testing shows:

33% Reduction in Melanin Synthesis
38% Increase in cell turn over
176% Increase in collagen production

This biomimetic technology allows Mela Peel to support visible tone correction and skin renewal while maintaining comfort for sensitive, pigmentation-prone skin.

HPR, gentle, fast-acting retinoid that lifts pigmented cells & boosts skin renewal for clearer, brighter, more even
skin.

Alpha Arbutin, powerful brightening active that
inhibits tyrosinase to reduce dark spots and fade stubborn pigmentation.

Kojic Acid slows melanin production & helps fade
existing discoloration.

Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, reduces
inflammation, & helps prevent pigment transfer.

Tranexamic Acid, disrupts inflammation-driven melanin
pathways, helping reduce pigmentation.

3-0-Ethyl Ascorbate to brighten, protect against oxidative
stress and helps minimise the appearance of pigmentation.

Azelaic Acid reduces inflammation, clears pore congestion,
& gently fades pigmentation.

Barrier & Inflammation Support

Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) Extract, Helps calm inflammation, support skin repair, and improve tolerance — critical for managing pigment-reactive skin.

Aloe-PDRN, delivers immediate hydration and soothing comfort to stressed skin. Supports the recovery of damaged tissue, helping reduce irritation and dehydration — two key drivers of pigment overproduction. Ideal for calming reactive, inflamed, or post-treatment skin.

Rose-PDRN, supports cellular regeneration while strengthening the skin barrier and reducing inflammation. Exceptionally gentle and well-tolerated, Rose PDRN is ideal for sensitive and pigmentation-prone skin that cannot tolerate aggressive correction.

Soy-PDRN, supports skin regeneration, improves elasticity, and strengthens the skin’s structural foundation. By enhancing resilience and texture, Soya-PDRN helps promote a more even, stable complexion over time.
