pHformula MELA Recovery

pHFORMULA MELA RECOVERY, is an intensive depigmentation serum that targets hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, working synergistically with professional skin resurfacing treatments. Thanks to the proprietary PH-DVC™ transdermal delivery system, active ingredients are delivered to deeper layers of the skin, enhancing efficacy and visible results.

The combination of Niacinamide, Arbutin, Mandelic Acid, and Phytic Acid synergistically inhibits tyrosinase activity, preventing melanin formation and slowing down melanin transfer, thus helping to improve hyperpigmentation and uneven tone. Salicylic Acid, with its lipid-soluble structure, penetrates deep into the pores, enhancing the penetration of other active depigmenting ingredients.

Retinol accelerates cell turnover, promoting the removal of melanin-containing pigmented cells from the surface, stimulates collagen synthesis, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate brightens dark spots by inhibiting melanin synthesis and provides powerful antioxidant protection. Glutathione holistically brightens skin tone by shifting melanin type from eumelanin to pheomelanin.

Suitable for all skin types, the formula can be incorporated into morning and evening routines, providing powerful support in combating sun spots, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and signs of premature aging.

Suitable for all skin types, including normal, dry, oily, combination, and sensitive. It is particularly ideal for those experiencing melasma, sun spots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is a powerful option for skin showing uneven tone, dullness, and signs of premature aging, as well as for those who wish to support their pHformula professional MELA depigmentation treatment with at-home care.

Morning and/or Evening: Apply 1-2 pumps to cleansed, dry skin.

As an extra step, you can apply the recommended pHformula corrective serum.

Complete the routine with the recommended pHformula moisturizer.

For evening use: Do not use concurrently with A.C.T.I.V.E. Formula or VITA A Cream; this product replaces those products.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Reduces hyperpigmentation by slowing the transfer of melanosomes to keratinocytes, promoting an even skin tone; strengthens the barrier function, regulates sebum production, and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects.

Arbutin: Tyrosinase inhibitor; reduces hyperpigmentation and age spots by blocking melanin synthesis. Considered a gentle and safe alternative to hydroquinone.

Mandelic Acid (AHA): Helps inhibit tyrosinase activity; provides gentle exfoliation and has antimicrobial effects. Contributes to reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and the appearance of blemishes.

Salicylic Acid (BHA): Its lipid-soluble structure allows it to penetrate deep into pores, accelerate cell turnover, and enhance the penetration of other active depigmenting ingredients.

Phytic Acid: A potent chelator and tyrosinase inhibitor; prevents the melanin production process. Exhibits antioxidant and soothing properties.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C): A stable form of Vitamin C; inhibits melanin synthesis, stimulates collagen synthesis, and provides strong antioxidant protection, brightening existing spots.

Retinol (Vitamin A): Accelerates cell turnover, leading to faster removal of melanin-containing pigmented cells. Stimulates collagen synthesis, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Stable and controlled release is achieved through the Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin encapsulation system.

Glutathione: Master antioxidant; brightens skin tone by shifting melanin synthesis from eumelanin to pheomelanin and provides powerful antioxidant protection at a cellular level.
