mesoestetic - cosmelan® 2

The cosmelan® 2 from mesoestetic is a cream for skin with pigment spots, used at home as part of the professional Cosmelan treatment. It suits skin with an uneven tone, in particular after the Cosmelan treatment, and contains Kojic Dipalmitate, Niacinamide, Retinol and Vitamin C, among other ingredients. The cream effectively reduces pigment spots and visibly evens the skin tone, including hyperpigmentation (excess pigment in one spot). It is a potent formula: only use it according to the schedule set by your treating physician or skin therapist. Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

What is cosmelan?

Cosmelan is a peel by mesoestetic, carried out by a skin specialist or skin therapist, renewing the top skin layer for a more even tone. Cosmelan 2 from mesoestetic is the cream you use at home afterwards to maintain that result. Olivida sells the cream itself, not the professional treatment. If you haven't had that treatment yet, discuss it with a skin specialist or skin therapist first. Alongside the cream on its own, the cosmelan® home pack is also available in the shop, with cosmelan 2 and two aftercare creams.

Who is cosmelan 2 for?

Cosmelan 2 is made for skin with pigment spots, caused by sun exposure or previous skin irritation. Melanin is the pigment that gives your skin its colour; when too much of it forms in one spot, you see a pigment spot. You use the cream after the professional Cosmelan treatment, as part of the schedule your practitioner sets out. Not sure whether cosmelan 2 suits your skin? Discuss it with your skin specialist or skin therapist beforehand.

How do you use cosmelan 2?

Follow the schedule for your Cosmelan treatment. You get this schedule from your practitioner, and it differs per phase. Cosmelan 2 is a strongly depigmenting cream. Protect your skin from the sun every day, for example with the mesoprotech melan 130 pigment control with SPF50+. If your skin feels sensitive or irritated, the melan recovery can offer comfort as an aftercare cream.

Active ingredients

Kojic Dipalmitate. A derivative of kojic acid, a substance that forms naturally during the fermentation of rice. Contributes to a more even skin tone where pigment spots are present.

Niacinamide (B3). A form of vitamin B3 widely used in skincare. Contributes to a more even, fresher-looking skin tone.

Licorice Root Extract. An extract from the root of the licorice plant. Supports a more even skin tone.

Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate. Both are forms of vitamin A, the most active form and a milder variant. Together they support a smoother skin texture.

Phytic Acid. A mild acid found naturally in grains and seeds. Contributes to a more even-looking skin where pigment spots are present.

Co-enzyme Q10, Vitamin E, Phloretin and Vitamin C. These are antioxidants, substances that protect the skin against free radicals: unstable particles that form partly through UV radiation. Together they contribute to fresh-looking, even skin.

Frequently asked questions

What is cosmelan?

Cosmelan is the professional pigment treatment by mesoestetic, carried out by a skin specialist or skin therapist. Cosmelan 2 from mesoestetic is the cream you use at home afterwards.

What's the difference between the Cosmelan treatment and cosmelan 2 at home?

The treatment is the professional step at a skin specialist or skin therapist. Cosmelan 2 is the cream for home use, following the schedule set by your practitioner. Olivida sells only the cream, not the treatment itself.

Can you buy cosmelan 2 without following the Cosmelan treatment?

Yes, cosmelan 2 can also be ordered on its own at Olivida. The cream was developed as a follow-up to the professional treatment, though. If you haven't had that treatment yet, discuss it with a skin specialist or skin therapist first.

What's in the cosmelan® home pack?

The cosmelan® home pack contains cosmelan 2, melan recovery and mesoprotech melan 130 pigment control. That's the depigmenting cream, a soothing aftercare cream and a tinted sunscreen with SPF50+.

Why is sun protection important when using cosmelan 2?

Skin with pigment spots reacts sensitively to UV radiation, also while using cosmelan 2. Daily sun protection is therefore part of the aftercare.
