Can We Use Cosmelan For Dark Skin?

Having flawless and radiant skin, especially on the face, is commonly mired by excessive melanin production, otherwise known as hyper-pigmentation. The common effects include dark and blotchy spots on skin. Hyper-pigmentation is often associated with sun damage, although other factors, such as hormonal changes, inflammation and sun damage can also cause this condition. 

Today, most men and women want to find ways to get rid of these "dark blemishes", especially on face and hands.  Now listen. The only possible way to restore the fairness and smoothness of skin is by directly affecting the process of melanin production.

Cosmelan Depigmentation treatment has been a popular brand when it comes to improving "dark blemishes" caused by hyper-pigmentation. It eliminates melanin patches on the face and the treatment involves a flexible process tailored to the needs of the patient. And yes, with a very high safety margin.

About the Company

Cosmelan is a skin care treatment founded by the Spanish company, The Body_esthetic Laboratories Group. This company is authorized by the Spanish Drug and Medical Device Agency. Research and studies are conducted in a research and development and innovation center, backed by a modern laboratory and quality-control department.

With over 10 years of research, this two-part treatment is proven effective in reducing skin blemish and preventing gradual recurrence. It works by slowing melanin production, causing lighter and more even skin tone.

How It Works?

The active ingredients in Cosmelan block tyrosinase, which  is the basic enzyme in the melanin-formation process. This makes the cells produce less melanin, hence fewer dark spots appear on the skin surface.

Cosmelan Ingredients

Cosmelan 1 - Cream
It consists of  ascorbic acid, kojic acid, azelaic acid, titanium dioxide and arbutine.

Cosmelan 2 - Maintenance cream
It consists of ascorbic acid, kojic acid, phytic acid and titanium dioxide.

Note: This product does not contain hydroquinone, which makes long-term use a lot safer than other skin brighteners. You can see the results in 1 to 4 weeks. Skin should become brighter and rejuvenated. Dark spots and brown areas should also lighten.

Conclusion

It's tough to treat melasma due to its resistance to treatment and possible recurrence but Cosmelan can be your best option.  Talk to your dermatologist if you have sensitive skin before using this product or any skin brighteners. Not all cases are the same, so the duration of treatment will depend on the severity of hyper-pigmentation among other factors. Lastly, it's always best to use sun screen protection to avoid redness and irritation, and to achieve optimal results.
