Mela Cream helps reduce the appearance of pigmentation spots, evens out skin tone, and promotes a brighter complexion.

This potent formula, featuring nine highly concentrated active ingredients, works to prevent melanin transfer and diminish pigmentation.

Visible results typically appear within 3-4 weeks of regular use, though a continued application for at least three months is recommended for optimal outcomes.

What can it do:

  • Inhibits melanin production to reduce dark spots

  • Faster visible results, usually within 3-4 weeks of continuous use

Key Ingredients:

  • Niacinamide

  • Retinol

  • Salicylic & Mandelic acids: BHA and AHA that weaken the bonds between outer skin cells to promote exfoliation and reduce cohesion

  • Phytic acid: AHA that brightens the complexion, especially when combined with glycolic acid

  • Licorice extract: A brightening agent that controls the distribution of melanin, helping to even out skin tone

Use:

Apply once a day across the entire face, concentrating on pigmented areas. If you haven't used retinol before, start with two applications a week and gradually increase. A three-month treatment period is recommended.

Mela Cream is an intensive brightening cream with a 9-active complex, formulated for skin showing dark spots, uneven tone and stubborn discolouration. It is a professional-grade product: use it in the evening only, as a course, with daily high SPF.

1. In the evening, cleanse the skin and dry thoroughly.
2. Apply a thin layer to the pigmented areas, or to the whole face if advised by your skin therapist. Avoid the eye contour area, lips and any irritated or broken skin.
3. Start with 2 to 3 evenings per week, increasing gradually as your skin tolerates it. A tingling sensation, mild redness or light flaking can occur in the early weeks.
4. Every morning without exception, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen. UV exposure works directly against the results.

Tips:
- A course of about 3 months is typical for visible change in the look of discolouration. Be patient and consistent.
- Do not combine with other retinol or exfoliating acid products during the course; Mela Cream already contains retinol plus mandelic, salicylic and phytic acids.
- Not suitable for sensitive or very dry skin. Patch test before first use.
- Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and keep away from children.
- Reduce frequency if flaking or redness becomes uncomfortable, and buffer with Hyal Ceutic if needed.
- Persistent or changing pigmentation should always be checked by your GP or dermatologist before starting a brightening course.
Key ingredients:
- Kojic Acid: helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone
- Arbutin: a plant-derived brightening agent that helps fade the look of discolouration
- Niacinamide: supports a smoother, more even looking complexion
- Retinol: encourages surface cell turnover to help soften the look of pigment marks
- Mandelic Acid: a gentle alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates and brightens
- Salicylic Acid: a beta hydroxy acid that refines the skin surface
- Phytic Acid: a plant antioxidant that supports a more uniform looking tone
- Liquorice Extract: soothes while supporting radiance

Water (Aqua), Paraffinum Liquidum, Cetearyl Alcohol, Niacinamide, Arbutin, Mandelic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Kojic Acid, Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Retinol, Phytic Acid, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Tocopherol, Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine, Polysorbate 20, Ceteareth-12, Glycerin, Lecithin, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Disodium Phosphate, BHA, Dipotassium Phosphate, BHT, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate.
It is formulated for skin showing dark spots, post-blemish marks and stubborn, uneven tone, including melasma-prone skin. It supports the appearance of a more even complexion; it is not a medicine, and persistent or changing pigmentation should be assessed by your GP or dermatologist first.
Think of a ladder. Light Ceutic is the gentle nightly brightener, Radiance Cream is the mid-strength exfoliating brightener, and Mela Cream is the most intensive option with 9 actives including kojic acid, arbutin and retinol. Our therapists can help you pick the right rung.
Two reasons: the acids and retinol make skin more sensitive to UV, and sun exposure is the main trigger for the very discolouration you are trying to fade. Without SPF 50+ every morning you are undoing the work each day.
Brand testing recorded a more luminous, even looking complexion within 21 days, but stubborn discolouration typically needs a consistent 3-month course alongside strict sun protection.

Lightweight daily brightening cream

Lovely lightweight texture that soaks in quickly and doesn't leave a greasy finish; my dark spots have faded noticeably after a few weeks. Scent is minimal and it sits well under makeup.

Simple to use daily

Simple routine: apply a pea-sized amount morning and night. The 30ml tube lasts well and the formula hasn't irritated my skin while brightening stubborn marks.

No strong scent, effective

No overpowering fragrance which I appreciate, and it absorbs quickly. My foundation goes on smoother and my skin feels plumper by morning.

Hydrates deeply but feels feather-light; no white cast and no sticky residue. I've noticed smoother texture and reduced hyperpigmentation after consistent use.
