pHformula MELA Resurfacing Homecare Kit

PHFORMULA M.E.L.A. RESURFACING HOMECARE KIT, is a comprehensive four-product dermatological skin resurfacing system specifically designed for hyperpigmented skin. The synergistic blend of active ingredients not only provides visible improvements; it also equips the skin with the ability to protect against future damage.

The blend of Glycolic, Lactobionic, Mandelic, Salicylic, and Pyruvic Acid accelerates cell turnover, promoting active regeneration in the superficial skin layers. Retinol stimulates collagen synthesis and regulates cellular differentiation, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Niacinamide and Arbutin target spots and uneven tone by inhibiting melanin formation and slowing its transfer. Glutathione and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate act as powerful antioxidants, fighting free radicals that trigger pigmentation, thereby protecting the skin against external damage.

Ideal for normal, combination, oily, and dry skin types, as well as mature skin; it offers a balanced and comprehensive resurfacing program with M.E.L.A. Recovery in the morning and A.C.T.I.V.E. Formula in the evening.

Suitable for normal, combination, oily, and dry skin types struggling with hyperpigmentation, blemishes, and uneven skin tone. It is also a comprehensive option for mature skin concerned with fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness. Due to its potent acid and Retinol content, sensitive skin types should consult a dermatologist or pHformula expert before starting.
