Product name
Patheon (Pation) Melazero Spot & Blemish Toning Cream — 50 ml
Key ingredients & functions (typical for “melazero / brightening” creams)
Depigmenting / brightening agents:
Niacinamide — inhibits melanosome transfer to reduce hyperpigmentation; also improves barrier function and brightens skin tone.
Tranexamic acid — reduces melanin synthesis and helps fade post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation and melasma‑type discoloration.
Arbutin or derivatives (if present) — tyrosinase inhibitor that lightens dark spots.
Kojic acid, azelaic acid, or other tyrosinase inhibitors may be included depending on formulation.
Exfoliating / cell‑turnover promoters:
Low‑strength AHA (lactic/glycolic) or enzyme extracts to gently promote desquamation and even tone (check INCI).
Antioxidants:
Vitamin C derivatives (e.g., ascorbyl glucoside), tocopherol — protect against oxidative stress that can worsen pigmentation.
Soothing / barrier‑supporting agents:
Panthenol, allantoin, centella asiatica extracts, or moisturizing humectants (glycerin, hyaluronic acid) to reduce irritation and maintain barrier while treating pigmentation.
UV sensitivity note:
Because brightening/exfoliating actives can increase photosensitivity, sunscreen is essential when using such products.
Indicated benefits
Targets dark spots, melasma‑type discoloration, and post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation to even out skin tone.
Prevents formation or recurrence of new spots by inhibiting melanin synthesis and transfer.
May improve skin texture and radiance with regular use.
Directions for use
After cleansing and applying toner/serum, apply a pea‑sized amount of cream to the whole face or to localized areas of hyperpigmentation, depending on product instructions.
Use once or twice daily as recommended by the product label. If product contains exfoliating acids or potent actives, evening use is commonly recommended and/or gradual introduction advised.
In the morning, always follow with a broad‑spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+ or higher) and reapply as needed — sunscreen is essential to prevent worsening of pigmentation.
For sensitive or irritated skin, start with every other day application and increase frequency as tolerated.
