Ingredients

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid is the smallest member of the Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) familly. It rapidly and easily penetrates the epidermis. Due to its high desquamating efficacy (via the destruction of intercellular bonds), it is used by dermatologists in high-concentration for superficial peeling (20% to 70%). Studies have shown that using glycolic acid in a daily cosmetic treatment at low concentrations accelerates shedding of dead cells at the skin surface, for a more even complexion, a smoother surface and improved skin quality. Glycolic acid is one of the key ingredients of Revitalift Laser X3 glycolic peel pads.

FAQ

Melasyl FAQ

1. What causes uneven skin tone and dark spots?

Uneven skin tone and dark spots appear when the skin produces excess melanin, often triggered by sun exposure, post-acne marks or hormonal changes. These pigment clusters create visible patchiness, which is why targeted skincare like Melasyl™ is essential for achieving a more balanced, radiant complexion.

2. How is pigmentation different from dull skin?

Pigmentation refers to specific dark spots or patches caused by melanin overproduction, whereas dullness is a general lack of radiance. Uneven skin tone is often a combination of both. A solution like Melasyl™ works at the source of pigmentation to visibly even skin tone while enhancing overall brightness.

3. Can I prevent dark spots from forming?

Yes. Protecting your skin from UV exposure and using targeted actives can help prevent new dark spots. Melasyl™ works early in the pigmentation process by capturing melanin precursors before they form visible pigment, helping maintain a clearer, even complexion.

4. Which ingredients should I look for in pigmentation care?

While ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide and tranexamic acid are commonly used, breakthrough science offers even greater results. Melasyl™ by L'Oreal Paris is a patented active that targets melanin precursors at the earliest stage, delivering more effective prevention and reduction of dark spots.

5. How long will it take to see results?

Visible results depend on the severity of pigmentation, but clinically tested actives typically show improvements within weeks. Melasyl™ has been validated to reduce localised dark spots and support a more even, radiant skin tone with consistent daily use.

6. Is pigmentation care suitable for all skin types and tones?

Absolutely. Effective pigmentation care should work across all skin types and tones without disrupting natural skin processes. Melasyl™ is scientifically formulated to deliver results for everyone, helping reduce dark spots while preserving the skin’s natural balance.

7. Do I need stronger treatments like peels or lasers?

Professional treatments like peels or laser therapy can be effective for stubborn pigmentation, but they are not always necessary. Topical actives like Melasyl™ provide a daily, preventative and corrective solution, supporting long-term skin clarity and even tone.

8. Why do some pigmentation products irritate my skin?

Strong exfoliating acids can sometimes cause redness or sensitivity. Melasyl™ works differently, targeting melanin precursors at the source without interfering with natural skin processes, providing effective pigmentation care with minimal risk of irritation.

9. Should I use sunscreen with pigmentation treatments?

Yes. Sun protection is essential to prevent further dark spots and to maintain the results of pigmentation treatments. Using SPF alongside Melasyl™ helps protect the skin from UV-induced melanin overproduction, keeping skin tone even and radiant.

10. Can pigmentation return after treatment?

Pigmentation can reappear if skin is exposed to UV rays or other triggers. A consistent routine combining prevention, targeted actives like Melasyl™, and protective care ensures long-lasting results and helps maintain a clear, even complexion.
