MELA B3 SERUM
MelasylTM
MelasylTM (2-Mercaptonicotinoyl Glycine) a revolutionary molecule developed by L’Oréal, with a unique mode of action. Melasyl™ intercepts melanin precursors and inhibits their progression before they can fully transform into melanin. A melanin overproduction and therefore the development of pigmentary disorders can be avoided by acting this early in the melanin synthesis mechanism.
Lipohydroxy Acid (LHA)
A salicylic acid derivative with an additional fatty chain that improves the affinity for skin cells and keratolytic efficacy. LHA stimulates cell renewal and improves the thickening of all the living epidermis with improvement of smoothness and firmness of the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid re-plumps and rehydrates the skin. It acts at the skin’s surface by creating an immediate invisible surface barrier on the skin to hold moisture and re-plump fine lines. Hyaluronic acid also stimulates collagen synthesis to favor cellular renovation for a deep re-plumping action from within.
Carnosine
Carnosine protects cells against oxidative stress by figuring as an antioxidant agent, reactive oxygen species scavengers and metal ions chelator. It also protects against heat and UV-damages as well as stimulating the collagen synthesis thus having an anti-wrinkles efficacy.
Retinyl Palmitate
A retinol derivative that increases cell renewal and epidermis thickness what leads to an amelioration of photo-ageing damages. Secondly, retinyl palmitate stimulates the hyaluronic acid synthesis and release by epidermal cells leading to an improved skin quality and hydration.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide, also called Nicotinamide, is a form of Vitamin B3 widely available in plants and animal tissues. It has an anti-inflammatory role by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by keratinocytes stimulated by C. Acnes and decreases the hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin delivery from melanocytes.
Cystoseira Tamariscifolia extract
A natural and organic extract obtained from seaweed. This extract acts through 3-steps before, during and after the melanin synthesis to decrease skin pigmentation.
- Reduces synthesis and inhibits fixation of α-MSH during the melanogenesis activation.
- Inhibits maturation of melanosomes and synthesis of melanin in the melanocytes.
- Inhibits the transfer of melanosome and activates the breakdown of melanosomes.
