WHAT IS MELASYL™?
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MELASYL™ FOR THE SKIN?
Our objective is always to enhance existing solutions. There is a need for more efficacious products that target localised and persistent excess melanin in order to achieve an even skin tone.
For L'Oréal, it is essential to respect the health of the skin and therefore its natural pigmentation process.
Melasyl™ intercepts melanin precursors before they accumulate in excess in the skin and create localised areas of hyperpigmentation. Unlike other molecules, the Melasyl™ molecule does not function as a tyrosinase inhibitor involved in melanin biosynthesis. Rather, it respects the essential skin color production process by reducing the amount of melanin product without blocking it completely.
WHICH FORM OF MELASYL™ SHOULD I USE?
HOW TO USE BRIGHT REVEAL NIACINAMIDE DARK SPOT SERUM?
This serum fights against hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven tones, which can compromise the skin’s ability to look healthy and youthful. The Bright Reveal Dark Spot serum is clinically proven to reduce all types of dark spots in all skin tones and types.
Visible Results:
IN 1 WEEK: Visibly fade all types of dark spots including post acne marks, sunspots and age spots making the skin brighter*

HAS MELASYL™ BEEN TESTED ON ANIMALS?
L'Oréal has been committed to beauty without animal testing for more than 30 years and pioneered the development of alternative methods.
CAN MELASYL™ BE USED BY PREGNANT WOMEN?
All our formulas are strictly evaluated for their quality, safety and efficacy. Their safety is assessed by toxicologists before being placed on the market. However, as pregnancy is an individual experience, we recommend seeking advice from a healthcare professional for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
HOW WAS MELASYL™ DISCOVERED BY L’OREAL R&I?
Resulting from a vast research programme aimed at improving hyperpigmentation solutions, the story of Melasyl™ began 18 years ago with the screening of molecules active in pigmentation. Around 100,000 molecules were tested to evaluate their impact on melanin production. In 2015, several of them were selected for their safety to human and environmental health. Following these tests, researchers found that Melasyl™ provided the fastest clinical results for skin brightening.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE L’OREAL R&I TO DEVELOP MELASYL™?
It took nearly 20 years of research for L’Oréal R&I to develop Melasyl™. First synthesized in 2005, Melasyl™ is now protected by 23 patents*. Throughout its development, a series of rigorous tests were conducted to select the right molecule, thoroughly evaluating its environmental profile, safety, and efficacy across all skin tones and types. *Not patented in Australia or New Zealand
