Cosmelan 2 is a powerful, professional-grade home maintenance cream designed to treat, reduce, and control intense skin pigmentation and melasma. As part of the mesoestetic® Cosmelan method, this cream regulates melanin production to fade dark spots and prevent their return while improving skin texture. Key ingredients include retinol and salicylic acid.
Key Aspects of Cosmelan 2:
Purpose: Treats hyperpigmentation, reduces dark spots, and evens skin tone.
Application: Applied to clean, dry skin. Initially, it may be used every 3rd night, building up to 1-3 times daily based on professional advice.
Results: Visible improvements in skin brightness, texture, and reduced pigmentation.
Side Effects: Mild peeling, redness, or sensitivity is common, especially early in treatment.
Usage Notes: Not for use during pregnancy. Requires consistent SPF 50+ application.
Active Ingredients
The effectiveness of Cosmelan 2 is driven by a synergistic blend of ingredients that inhibit tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production:
Azelaic Acid & Kojic Acid: Targeted brightening agents that reduce melanin and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Phytic Acid: A chelating agent that helps neutralise metal ions and supports pigment reduction.
Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A): Promotes cell turnover and skin renewal.
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): A powerful antioxidant that fades brown spots and boosts radiance.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps inhibit the transfer of melanin to skin cells.
How to Use
Usage typically varies based on the stage of treatment and skin tolerance.
Phase 1 (First Month): Apply three times daily (morning, noon, and evening) to clean, dry skin.
Phase 2 (Months 2 & 3): Apply twice daily (morning and evening).
Phase 3 (Month 4 onwards): Apply once daily, preferably at night, for long-term maintenance.
Important: Always follow with a high-protection sunscreen like Mesoprotech Melan 130 during the day, as sun exposure can cause pigmentation to rebound.
