MELANYC

Depigmentation cream for facial melasma and spots on the body, décolletage and hands.
Designed to clean and even out skin tone, with proven ability to reduce unwanted blemishes and prevent new ones from appearing.
The effectiveness of Melanyc cream is supported by the effectiveness study carried out together with Dr. Manuel Asin Llorca, from the Dermocosmetics Department of the Miguel Hernandez University of Elche
The variety of its active ingredients also ensures a sebum-regulating action in the case of oily skin, as it tends to present this dyschromia and melasma more frequently.
The ingredients have also been carefully selected to be able to reduce melanin without irritating, with clinically proven effectiveness, to stabilize the formula and protect the skin.
Thanks to this fact, we get a skin with less spots and fat, with a velvety texture right from the start.
Thanks to the new micro-emulsified texture, we get a pleasant finish.
The product can be used all year round, even in summer.

COSMETIC ACTION:

1. BLEACHING ACTION
The various whitening active ingredients in the formula, such as Kojic Acid, Stable Vitamin C, Phytic Acid, Arbutin, Licorice Extract, Chromabright® and Nicotinamide ensure a global effect against imperfections. They have the ability to act before, during and after melanogenesis, interfering in all stages of melanin production, evening out skin tone.

2. EXFOLIATION AND SEBUM REGULATION ACTION
Glycolic acid has a double exfoliating effect: it removes layers of dead skin cells with melanin and, consequently, facilitates the penetration of active depigmenting ingredients into the dermis.
Kojic acid and stable vitamin C exert a sebum-regulating action, having a great capacity to control the skin microbiota.


ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

KOJIC ACID (6%)
Whitening with double action:
Able to block the conversion of tyrosine to DOPA and from it to Dopaquinone.
Able to inhibit the conversion of dopachrome to eumelanin (responsible for the dark coloring of the skin due to its high sulfur concentration).
In both cases, as a final product, we block the formation of melanin in any way.
In addition, being antibacterial, it inhibits the proliferation of microbiota very common in oily skin.

PHYTIC ACID (4%)
It has several actions:
- Antioxidant: It is an iron chelator and therefore prevents the peroxidation of skin lipids and the formation of free radicals.
- It is a tyrosinase inhibitor, preventing the formation of melanin and skin pigmentation.

STABLE VITAMIN C (4%)
Vitamin C is stabilized with magnesium in a cream excipient, which protects vitamin C against oxidation and keeps it active for 12 hours.
This stable form of vitamin C improves its properties and stimulates its action.
In addition, it is released gradually without irritating the skin.
It has an antioxidant action and inhibits tyrosine and therefore melanogenesis (lightening effect).
It brightens the skin, evens out the complexion and whitens photo-aged skin.

GLYCOLIC ACID (6%)
It is one of the most widely used AHAs in cosmetic products due to its varied and high effectiveness.
Among them, we highlight:
- Exfoliation or peeling action: Facilitates the removal of excess dead keratinocytes from the surface of the skin, reducing the thickness of the corneous layer of the skin. In this way, the penetration of the active ingredients of the formula is facilitated and depigmentation processes are accelerated.
- Anti-wrinkle action: Repeated and regular application can significantly reduce small skin wrinkles, as it stimulates the formation of collagen and elastin in the dermal layers.

ARBUTIN (4%)
It is a hydroquinone glycoside obtained by chemical synthesis.
Thanks to its structure similar to tyrosine, it acts as a competitive inhibitor in the oxidation process, inhibiting the formation of melanin.
Whitens the skin and reduces the formation of age spots, freckles and pigmented lesions.

NICOTINAMIDE (2%)
Molecule found in vitamin B complex.
Gentle depigmentation action that is synergistic and robust with other sebum-regulating active ingredients.

LICORICE EXTRACT (0.1%)
It has various actions:
- Depigmentation. It is a strong natural inhibitor of tyrosinase, which also exerts a synergistic effect with the rest of the active depigmenting ingredients in the formula.
- Antioxidant action
- Calming and anti-inflammatory effect.

CHROMABRIGHT® (0.2%)
Molecule with combined non-keratolytic depigmentation action, with a depigmentation capacity equal to hydroquinone and with an anti-aging effect.
Chromabright® has the ability to:
- Inhibits tyrosinase and reduces melanogenesis, just like hydroquinone, but under safe conditions. The results were up to 24.7% and the reduction of melanin content in a dose-dependent manner up to 21%. Both data are statistically significant.
- Has a photoprotective effect in human epidermal keratinocytes, helping to prevent UV-induced damage, as melanin naturally does. Studies have shown up to 255% photoprotection after UV exposure, implying protection against induced damage.
- Ensures the whitening and uniformity of the skin tone and the reduction of hyperpigmented areas. Its reduction was verified between 26-50% after 30 days and 51-75% at 60 days.
