Description
The Melasma Facials System is a professional-grade 4-step facial routine for melasma-prone skin, stubborn-looking pigmentation, dullness and uneven tone.
It combines controlled exfoliation, targeted brightening, clarifying mask care and barrier-focused recovery to help skin look smoother, brighter and more even without an overly aggressive approach.
At the centre is The Melasma Peel, formulated with 10% Glycolic Acid, 5% Mandelic Acid and 3% Tranexamic Acid, alongside the Kojic Acid Facial, Brightening Mask and Skin Reset & Recovery Treatment.
Includes: The Melasma Peel · Kojic Acid Facial · Brightening Mask · Skin Reset & Recovery Treatment
Use according to the treatment schedule. Visible flaking may occur. Daily SPF is essential.

RecoveryBuilt into the system
Stop booking another facial without a pigment plan.
A few days of glow is not the same as a structured treatment strategy. The Melasma Facials System gives pigmentation-prone skin four defined jobs: brighten, resurface, clarify and recover. You know which treatment to use, when to use it and when to leave your skin alone.
Smooth skin is not the finish line. For pigmentation-prone skin, the treatment has to include what happens after the acids come off.
Four treatments. One controlled facial rhythm.
This is not four masks thrown into a bundle. Each product has a different role inside the system, so surface renewal, pigment support, clarity and recovery are deliberately separated.

The Melasma Peel
High-activity 15-minute protocol
10% Glycolic, 5% Mandelic, 5% Azelaic and 3% Tranexamic Acid target dull surface build-up and uneven-looking tone.
03 · Clarify
Brightening Mask
Gentler clarity + glow treatment
Mandelic, Lactic, Glycolic and Malic Acids plus Pomegranate Enzyme refresh dullness and surface clarity between stronger treatment steps.
04 · Recover
Skin Reset & Recovery
Post-treatment recovery support
Centella, PDRN-focused support and collagen ingredients help replenish hydration and comfort after active facial treatments.
01
Brighten
Use pigment-focused actives to support the look of dark patches, dullness and uneven tone.
02
Resurface
Use controlled acids to refine dull surface build-up and rough-looking texture.
03
Clarify
Refresh the surface between stronger treatments without making intensity the goal.
04
Recover
Restore comfort and hydration before the next active treatment day.
Controlled resurfacing, not aggressive peeling.
The Melasma Peel is the high-activity centre of the system. Its job is to address the dull, compacted surface that can make pigmentation look heavier while pairing resurfacing acids with pigment-aligned actives.
- 10% Glycolic Acid: high-performance AHA surface renewal and texture refinement.
- 5% Mandelic Acid: controlled AHA support for dullness and uneven-looking texture.
- 5% Azelaic Acid: targeted support for uneven tone and lingering post-mark appearance.
- 3% Tranexamic Acid: pigment-focused support for persistent, patchy-looking discolouration.
The 15-minute resurfacing treatment with a defined purpose.
Use on clean, dry skin according to the system schedule. The goal is visible surface refinement and brighter-looking clarity — not to chase burning, redness or maximum peeling.

Glycolic Acid10% · Surface renewal
Helps loosen dull, compacted surface cells that can make texture and pigmentation look more pronounced.
Mandelic Acid5% · Controlled exfoliation
A larger-molecule AHA that complements glycolic acid while supporting smoother-looking texture and clarity.
Azelaic Acid5% · Uneven tone support
Supports the visible appearance of stubborn uneven tone and lingering post-breakout marks.
Tranexamic Acid3% · Pigment support
Included for targeted support where pigmentation appears persistent, patchy or melasma-prone.
The treatment does not end when the acids come off.
Recovery is part of the treatment architecture. The Skin Reset & Recovery Treatment is placed between active days to replenish hydration and comfort, support a more resilient-looking barrier and help the routine remain controlled rather than relentless.
Centella ExtractComfort-focused botanical support for stressed or reactive-looking skin.
PDRN ComplexRecovery-focused support built around Sodium DNA and complementary plant-water components.
Marine CollagenHydration and conditioning support for softer, smoother-looking skin.
Aloe + Rose + Soya WatersSupport hydration and a more comfortable post-treatment skin feel.
The supporting treatments are not filler. They control the rhythm.
The Peel does the strongest resurfacing work. Kojic + Retinol Facial and Brightening Mask give the system different levels of brightening and renewal so every treatment day does not need to be a high-intensity peel day.
Kojic + Retinol Facial
A concentrated wash-off treatment for pigmentation-prone skin, built around pigment support, controlled resurfacing, clarifying clays and barrier-comfort ingredients.
Kojic + Azelaic AcidTarget the visible look of stubborn pigmentation and uneven tone.
HPR RetinoidSupports skin renewal and more refined-looking texture and tone.
Lactic + Glycolic + SalicylicMulti-acid resurfacing support for dull surface build-up and clarity.
Niacinamide + UreaSupport barrier comfort, hydration and a more balanced-looking complexion.
Brightening Mask
The gentler clarity step. It uses acids and enzyme support to refresh dull, uneven-looking skin while maintaining a more measured treatment rhythm between stronger facial days.
Mandelic + Lactic AcidControlled exfoliation to support smoother, brighter-looking skin.
Glycolic + Malic AcidAdditional surface-renewal support for texture and visible clarity.
Pomegranate EnzymeHelps lift dull surface build-up and support a fresher-looking finish.

Recovery is built into the schedule for a reason.
Do not treat a recovery day as an invitation to add another acid, peel, retinoid or exfoliating treatment. Visible flaking may occur. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential throughout the cycle.
I used to spend up to $400 a week on facials.
I know what it feels like to book another appointment and hope this one will finally make the pigmentation look better. Some treatments gave me a temporary glow. Some made my skin feel smoother. But the cost kept adding up while the bigger problem remained.
That experience shaped this system. I did not want another facial built around intensity for intensity's sake. I wanted a repeatable treatment rhythm that included brightening, controlled resurfacing, clarity and recovery.
Not to attack pigmentation-prone skin. To treat it with control — and know what comes next.
Start the plan.
Another one-off facial is still one-off.
The reason to start now is not urgency theatre. It is simple: a structured treatment cycle only begins when you begin it. Your first brightening day, recovery day and resurfacing checkpoint can all start with a defined plan instead of another random treatment.
One-off treatment
May give temporary smoothness or glow without giving you the next step.
Random active use
Makes it easy to over-exfoliate or lose track of what your skin has already had.
Facial system
Gives brightening, resurfacing, clarification and recovery a defined place.
Your next facial can be Day 1 of a treatment rhythm.
What consistent treatment can look like over time.
This is not an overnight bleaching routine. Look for progress in surface smoothness, brightness, clarity and the overall appearance of uneven tone while keeping recovery and daily SPF part of the plan.
Smooth + refresh
Skin may feel softer, cleaner and more polished-looking as dull surface build-up is addressed.
Brighten + clarify
Skin may appear brighter and more even-looking, with pigmentation starting to look less heavy or sharply defined.
Soften + maintain
With consistent use and daily SPF, dark patches may appear softer and the complexion may look easier to manage.
This is not for someone who wants to peel harder every time.
The system contains active facial treatments. Control matters. Follow the schedule, rinse wash-off treatments as directed, use daily SPF and stop adding extra strong actives simply because your skin looks calm that day.
- You want an aggressive peel or instant bleaching result.
- You are unwilling to use daily broad-spectrum SPF.
- You plan to use the active treatments more often than directed.
- You want to combine the schedule with additional strong peels, retinoids, exfoliating acids or needling without guidance.
- Your skin is currently burning, broken, severely irritated or compromised.
- You are not prepared to make recovery part of the treatment plan.
Melasma Facials System FAQ
How often do I use the Melasma Facials System?
Follow the 14-day system schedule rather than using the four products randomly. The cycle deliberately alternates active treatments with Skin Reset & Recovery days. Do not add extra active facial days simply because your skin feels comfortable.
Why does the system include so much recovery?
Because the active treatments are only half of the architecture. Skin Reset & Recovery is used between treatment days to replenish hydration and comfort and help the skin feel supported before the next active step.
What makes The Melasma Peel different from the Brightening Mask?
The Melasma Peel is the high-activity resurfacing treatment, formulated with 10% Glycolic Acid, 5% Mandelic Acid, 5% Azelaic Acid and 3% Tranexamic Acid. The Brightening Mask is the gentler clarity step, using Mandelic, Lactic, Glycolic and Malic Acids with Pomegranate Enzyme.
Do I need visible peeling for the system to work?
No. Visible flaking can occur, but more peeling is not the goal. The system is built around controlled renewal, brightening, clarity and recovery rather than forcing the skin to shed aggressively.
Can I use the system with the Melasma Reset System?
It can be used alongside a broader pigmentation routine, but active treatments need to be coordinated carefully. Avoid stacking extra peels, exfoliating acids, retinoids or needling on the same treatment days unless specifically advised. Prioritise recovery if your skin becomes dry, tight or reactive.
Do I still need SPF?
Yes. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential when managing melasma-prone skin and while using exfoliating or brightening facial treatments. Reapply according to your sunscreen directions and exposure.
Can I use this if my skin is sensitive?
This system contains active acids and a retinoid-containing facial. If your skin is sensitive, patch test, follow the schedule conservatively and do not use on broken, burning, severely irritated or compromised skin. If you are unsure whether the system is appropriate for you, seek personalised professional advice before starting.
Can I use this during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The Kojic + Retinol Facial contains Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR). If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical care, check with your healthcare professional before using active skincare.
How long until I notice a visible difference?
Some people notice smoother or fresher-looking skin earlier, while visible pigmentation changes usually take longer. Use the system consistently, follow the recovery schedule and keep daily SPF in place. Individual results vary.
Your next facial can be part of the plan.
Start the 14-day treatment rhythm with four defined jobs: brighten, resurface, clarify and recover. No random facial hopping. No guessing what comes next.
