MELACTIS PIGMENT CORRECTOR Serum 30ml

Introduction About MELACTIS PIGMENT CORRECTOR SERUM

Melactis Pigment Corrector Serum 30 mL is a topical pigmentation-care serum formulated with glycolic acid, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, diglucosyl gallic acid, phenylethyl resorcinol, kojic acid, allantoin, glycerin, and supportive skin-conditioning ingredients. It is designed to help improve the appearance of dark spots, post-inflammatory pigmentation, acne marks, uneven skin tone, dullness, and rough skin texture. Glycolic acid provides gentle surface exfoliation, while ingredients such as alpha arbutin, kojic acid, phenylethyl resorcinol, and diglucosyl gallic acid are included for pigmentation-focused care; niacinamide and allantoin help support the skin barrier and comfort. The product is marketed as dermatologically tested and clinically tested on Indian skin.

Melactis is suitable for adults seeking targeted cosmetic care for uneven pigmentation, post-acne marks, and sun-related discoloration, particularly when the skin is otherwise intact and not significantly irritated. For use, gently cleanse the face and pat it dry, then apply approximately two drops to the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin and spread evenly with clean fingertips without vigorous rubbing. Product information recommends once-daily use at night, followed by a moisturizer after absorption, while a broad-spectrum sunscreen should be used during the daytime. Introducing the serum gradually may be helpful for sensitive skin because glycolic acid can cause temporary tingling, dryness, peeling, or irritation.

Because the formulation contains glycolic acid and several pigment-modulating ingredients, avoid applying it to broken, sunburned, actively irritated, or inflamed skin and avoid contact with the eyes, eyelids, lips, and other mucous membranes. Do not combine it in the same routine with multiple strong exfoliating acids or topical retinoids unless advised by a dermatologist, as this may increase irritation. Daily sun protection is particularly important because alpha-hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Stop use and seek dermatological advice if there is persistent burning, marked redness, swelling, blistering, or another suspected allergic reaction.

During pregnancy, the available product information advises seeking medical advice before use. This formulation does not contain a topical retinoid, and glycolic acid is among topical ingredients that dermatology guidance considers potentially usable during pregnancy when needed; however, pregnancy-specific safety data for the complete Melactis combination are limited, so individualized advice from an obstetrician or dermatologist is appropriate. During breastfeeding, topical glycolic acid is expected to have low systemic absorption, but the complete formulation has not been extensively studied; avoid applying the serum to the breast or areas that could come into direct contact with the infant. Common local effects can include mild tingling, dryness, tightness, redness, peeling, or temporary irritation, particularly when first introduced. Patch testing and gradual introduction may help improve tolerability.

How MELACTIS PIGMENT CORRECTOR SERUM Works

• Brightenyl works by modulating melanogenesis through activation of PPAR-γ, reducing tyrosinase activity and melanin production while also providing antioxidant protection to improve skin brightness.
• Alpha Arbutin inhibits tyrosinase enzyme activity, thereby decreasing melanin synthesis and helping to reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
• Phenyl Ethyl Resorcinol acts as a potent tyrosinase inhibitor and antioxidant, effectively reducing melanin formation and improving skin tone.
• Niacinamide reduces the transfer of melanosomes from melanocytes to keratinocytes, helping to even out skin tone while also improving barrier function and reducing inflammation.
• Osmogeline helps maintain cellular hydration and osmotic balance, supporting skin barrier function and improving skin smoothness and resilience.
• Glycolic Acid exfoliates the skin by breaking down corneocyte cohesion, promoting cell turnover and enhancing the removal of pigmented keratinocytes.
• L-Arginine acts as a precursor for nitric oxide, promoting microcirculation and supporting skin repair and hydration.
• Allantoin soothes and protects the skin by promoting cell regeneration and providing anti-irritant and moisturizing effects.

Sun Protection Warning

• Because this formulation contains 6% glycolic acid, it may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure during use and for at least one week after discontinuation.
