In fact, whilst solving your pigment woes, the Cosmelan Peel will also gently resurface the skin and greatly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles!
Cosmelan peel: is Cosmelan a peel?
Although often referred to as Cosmelan peel, the Cosmelan treatment goes beyond a peel. Unlike peels, which act on the surface of the problem, Cosmelan gets to the root of the problem. It consists in a treatment that visibly removes and attenuates pigmentation spots (like a peel) while exerting a regulating action that corrects the overproduction of pigmentation and prevents the spots from reappearing.
How does Cosmelan work?
The Cosmelan treatment involves using a proprietary combination of active ingredients with proven efficacy that interfere with the entire process of melanin production. In addition to removing the accumulation of excess melanin (pigment), the Cosmelan treatment inhibits the formation of new pigment.
Cosmelan works via several mechanisms:
- Accelerates epidermal renewal to remove the accumulation of melanin
- Reduces the amount of melanin formation and decreases dark spots
- Blocks the transfer of melanin from the melanocyte to the keratinocyte, thus inhibiting the migration of pigment to epidermal layers of the skin
- Reduces the synthesis of melanin inside melanocytes
The Cosmelan peel consists of 51 active ingredients, including numerous tyrosinase inhibitors, which block melanin production in the skin.
The 5 key tyrosinase inhibitors and lightening agents include:
- Kojic Acid
- Azelaic Acid
- Arbutin
- Phytic Acid
- Licorice
- Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
