A weekly rinse off treatment mask with cysteamine for skin showing dark patches, melasma type discolouration and uneven tone. Use it 1 to 2 times per week, or as your dermatologist recommends.

1. Start with clean, dry skin.
2. Apply a thin, even layer of the mask over the face or the areas of visible discolouration.
3. Leave on for 15 minutes. Some warmth or tingling can occur with cysteamine; this is common.
4. Cleanse off thoroughly. Propaira recommends the Prebiotic Facial Cleanser.
5. Follow with a moisturiser, such as the Propaira Prebiotic Facial Moisturiser.
6. Apply a Propaira SPF50+ sunscreen every morning. Daily sun protection is essential while working on visible pigmentation, otherwise results will be undone.

Tips:
- Patch test behind the ear or on the inner forearm before first use.
- Do not extend the 15 minute wear time in the hope of faster results.
- Cysteamine has a characteristic sulphur like scent. It rinses away with the mask.
- Introduce it on nights when you are not using retinoids or exfoliating acids.
- Uneven tone takes time. Expect gradual brightening over 8 to 12 weeks of consistent weekly use.
- Pigmentation should always be checked by a professional first. See your dermatologist or GP to confirm the cause of any dark patches before starting a brightening routine, and follow their advice on frequency.
Key ingredients:
- Cysteamine HCl: a well studied brightening molecule that helps reduce the look of dark patches, melasma type discolouration and uneven skin tone
- Rumex Occidentalis Extract: a botanical brightener that supports a more even looking complexion
- Niacinamide: helps visibly even skin tone and supports the skin barrier
- Papain and Bromelain: fruit enzymes that gently exfoliate dull surface cells while the mask is on
- Shea Butter and Glycerin: keep skin comfortable and hydrated during wear time

Cysteamine is one of the most researched cosmetic brightening molecules for the look of stubborn discolouration such as melasma type patches. It works best as a short contact treatment, which is why this is a 15 minute rinse off mask rather than a leave on cream.
The mask is the once or twice weekly intensive step. The Niaben leave on creams (HQ, RA and TXA) are the daily steps. A common routine is the mask weekly, a Niaben cream daily, and SPF50+ every single morning. Book a free consultation and we can map the right combination for your skin, alongside guidance from your dermatologist.
Yes. Mild warmth or tingling during the 15 minutes is common with cysteamine, and the molecule has a natural sulphur like scent that rinses off with the mask. Strong burning or lasting redness is not normal; rinse off and reduce frequency, and patch test before first use.
Most people need 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use to see meaningful brightening, and daily SPF50+ is non negotiable, because sun exposure drives discolouration back. Have new or changing pigmentation checked by your GP or dermatologist first.
