Powerful Treatment for Facial Hyperpigmentation & Ageing

Description

mesoestetic cosmelan® 2 is a powerful depigmenting treatment with dual action properties that address all stages of the hyperpigmentation process while providing anti-ageing benefits. Suitable for moderate facial hyperpigmentation and photoageing.

Key ingredients include Cosmesome an encapsulated complex with Apigenin and Phloretin that helps slow down melanin synthesis. Patented Melaphenone® its 3D conformational and molecular structure helps inhibit enzyme tyrosinase activity. Pure Ascorbic Acid a potent antioxidant with skin-brightening benefits. Hexylresorcinol is a well-studied melanin inhibitor. A unique cocktail of Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Niacinamide, Retinol, Salicylic Acid, Phytic Acid, Liquorice Extract and Hesperidin.

Dr Webster’s Recomendation: mesoestetic cosmelan® 2 is a home maintenance treatment that corrects and regulates hyperpigmentation. It helps inhibit the overproduction of melanin and prevent its reappearance while improving the production of collagen and elastin. In the case of severe hyperpigmentation, we recommend consulting with your dermatologist for more information on the cosmelan® in-clinic treatment.

How to Use

It is important to prepare the skin adequately by using a retinoid 4- 6 weeks before starting the cosmelan® 2 treatment to help minimise the side effects
Begin by limiting use to twice a week, gradually increasing application frequency to every other night, and then advancing to each evening or as tolerated. For optimal results, cosmelan® 2 should be used twice a day
At night, apply cosmelan® 2 on clean, dry skin, massaging it gently
Allow the cream to absorb completely
Followed by a suitable barrier cream
Always use a high-factor broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply throughout the day
Sun protection is vital as the skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure while using the product. For hyperpigmentation use a mineral based formula that contains iron oxides (blocks HEVL).
Additional advice
- Avoid using a foaming cleanser, rather use a gentle/cream cleanser to protect the skin barrier.
- For excessive dryness incorporate a hydrating serum underneath cosmelan® 2 cream
- For excessive sensitivity apply a calming serum underneath cosmelan® 2 cream
- Use a facial mist to spray onto skin throughout the day to help alleviate dryness and sensitivity
Avoid skin treatments such as chemical peels and waxing if your skin is sensitive or peeling. Wait at least 7 days after applying your cream before you do a skin treatment.
Avoid using other products that contain retinoids and hydroxy acids if your skin is sensitive.

Is cosmelan® 2 suitable for my skin?

cosmelan® 2 is a powerful depigmenting & anti-ageing cream

You could be a suitable candidate if:

You have moderate to severe hyperpigmentation that is not presently being treated with other prescriptive depigmenting treatments.

You have no underlying medical conditions, are not pregnant, and are not taking medications that could be contraindicated.

Your skin has been adequately prepared with our recommended Retinoids leading up to use.

Frequently asked questions

Please read the following carefully before purchasing cosmelan® 2.

Do I have to follow the entire cosmelan® treatment protocol, or can I just use the cosmelan® 2 cream alone?

cosmelan® 2 cream can be used on its own for treating moderate hyperpigmentation, or as an anti-ageing treatment.
cosmelan® 2 cream can be used a couple of times a week to maintain results after a full cosmelan® treatment.

What kind of hyperpigmentation can I treat with cosmelan® 2?

cosmelan® 2 is effective in treating melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and photoageing.
Important: Most forms of hyperpigmentation are considered a chronic skin disorder. Therefore, lifelong compliance with skincare products is needed to ensure the hyperpigmentation does not return after you stop using your skincare products.

Is it safe to use on darker skin types?

Yes, cosmelan® 2 is considered safe to use for all skin tones.
However, for darker skin types, it is crucial to prepare the skin adequately before starting the treatment. We also recommend using soothing support care, like soothing serums and mists when you use cosmelan® 2. It is recommended to gradually introduce retinoids into your skincare routine, before commencing with cosmelan® 2.
Making use of a high-factor broad-spectrum sunscreen daily is a must while using cosmelan® 2.

Can I use cosmelan® 2 during the summer months?

It is advisable to use it when sun exposure is less intense, such as in winter and autumn.
If used in summer or in hotter regions, you must take extra care by using a high-factor broad-spectrum sunscreen, wear UV protective clothing like sun hats and sunglasses, and avoid facial sun exposure where possible.

Will my hyperpigmentation get darker initially?

Yes, initially your hyperpigmentation may darken as the pigment-laden skin cells move through the skin layers to be exfoliated off.
As the treatment progresses and pigment production decreases, the dark appearance will fade.

Is it normal to experience dryness and flaking for a long time?

Yes, it is normal. cosmelan® 2 focuses on exfoliating pigment-laden cells from the skin’s surface, causing dryness and flaking.
Initial irritation or redness may occur, but will subside.
Slight peeling and sensitivity are common and should diminish with continued use of recommended home products.
Should you wish to decrease the frequency of use you may do so, to reduce the sensitivity experienced while using the product.

Why is it sensitive around my eyes and mouth even if I do not apply the product there?

The active ingredients in cosmelan® 2 penetrate deeply and may migrate to more fragile areas like the eyes, corners of the nose and mouth, causing sensitivity due to fewer sebaceous glands in these areas.

What can I use to reduce sensitivity?

To reduce sensitivity and redness, you can incorporate skin-soothing serums underneath your cosmelan® 2 cream.
You may also use hydrating facial mists throughout the day to alleviate symptoms.

How do I manage dryness?

Dryness may result from a compromised skin barrier due to excessive flaking and peeling.
Incorporate barrier creams into your skincare routine. Apply on top of cosmelan® 2 cream.

Can I take a break from using cosmelan® 2 for a special event?

Interrupting the home regimen will prevent you from achieving the expected results.
Consistent application of cosmelan® 2 cream is necessary to regulate melanin production, as well as daily sunscreen application will help reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation returning.

How long before I see results?

Results will depend upon the following factors:

The severity and depth of your hyperpigmentation (deeper pigmentation takes longer to treat). If you have had melasma/hyperpigmentation for 5 years +, you may see improvement but the degree of improvement is difficult to predict.
The condition of your skin health.
The cause of your hyperpigmentation. If there is an underlying health concern influencing the development of hyperpigmentation, a medical evaluation is necessary.

How long will the results last after finishing cosmelan® 2?

A daily maintenance routine is necessary to prevent hyperpigmentation reappearance, especially if you are exposed to triggering factors.
It is recommended to continue using a depigmentation routine that includes products containing ingredients like Vitamin C, Tranexamic Acid, high factor broad spectrum sunscreen and to continue use of cosmelan® 2 at least once a week.

Can I use cosmelan® 2 cream indefinitely?

Yes, it is recommended to incorporate cosmelan® 2 cream at least once a week to maintain results and also used as an anti-ageing treatment.

Can I use cosmelan® 2 during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No. Avoid using cosmelan® 2 during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How does cosmelan® 2 act against acne?

cosmelan® 2 is not intended to treat active acne but is effective against acne-induced pigmentation (PIH) in all skin types and phototypes.
