The experts at LovelySkin have teamed up with La Roche-Posay to bring you the latest intel on their skin care products.
Discoloration can be one of the more challenging skin concerns to target, but La Roche-Posay has a new solution for all skin tones and types with Melasyl™. This new and exclusive multi-patented ingredient is the star of La Roche-Posay’s Mela B3 Serum and Mela B3 UV Daily Moisturizer SPF 30, and you won’t find it anywhere else.

More than 50 percent of the global population reports dealing with a pigment disorder, which can include dark spots, post-acne marks and other conditions such as vitiligo. This represents hundreds of millions of people around the world. L’Oreal researchers spent eighteen years researching and screening 100,000 molecules before discovering Melasyl™, a multi-patented ingredient that La Roche-Posay scientists call “a true revolution in pigment science.”
Melasyl™ is also proven effective on all skin tones, according to an eight-week study that La Roche-Posay conducted with 72 women of all skin phototypes.
Two La Roche-Posay skin care products now feature Melasyl™. The first is La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Dark Spot Serum. In addition to Melasyl™, it also contains 10% niacinamide as well as soothing La Roche-Posay Prebiotic Thermal Water. After twice-daily use for eight weeks, this serum was shown to improve the appearance of skin discolorations, including dark spots and post-acne marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) with visibly lasting results.
UV rays are a primary trigger for the production of unwanted pigment, which makes La Roche-Posay Mela B3 UV Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 the ideal complement to the Mela B3 Serum. In addition to offering broad-spectrum sun protection, this daily sunscreen also works to improve the appearance of dark spots with Melasyl™ and 5% niacinamide. It also contains mineral-rich La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water provides natural soothing and antioxidant benefits.
To successfully improve dark spots and discoloration, it’s important to commit to following the proper skin care regimen and stick with it. It’s impossible to eliminate unwanted pigment overnight, but this routine can help you see improvement in as little as two weeks.
