mesoestetic - mesoprotech® melan 130 pigment control SPF50+

mesoestetic mesoprotech melan 130 pigment control SPF50+ is a tinted sunscreen from the mesoprotech sun line by mesoestetic, made for skin with pigment spots. It has SPF50+, the highest factor allowed on a label in the European Union. The number tells you how much longer your skin stays protected against burning compared with unprotected skin. It also contains potassium azeloyl diglycinate, a substance that helps regulate the production of melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives your skin its colour; when too much of it forms in one spot, you see a pigment spot.

Who is mesoestetic melan 130 pigment control for?

mesoestetic melan 130 pigment control is made for anyone with pigment spots or a tendency to develop them. These spots can be caused by sun exposure, by hormones, or by inflammation of the skin. It is also useful if you are following a targeted pigment treatment, because daily protection is essential for that. This tinted sunscreen suits all skin types. If you want the same protection without a tint, the mesoprotech hydra cream SPF50+ from the same sun line is an untinted option.

How do you use mesoestetic melan 130 pigment control?

Use mesoestetic melan 130 pigment control as the last step of your morning routine, after your serum and cream and before your make-up. Shake the bottle well before use. Stick to the two finger rule: a line of product along your index and middle finger is enough for face, neck and décolleté. A thin layer will not give you the factor stated on the packaging.

If you are outdoors for longer or you sweat a lot, reapply every two hours. With sunscreen, reapplying is the single most important step there is.

Active ingredients

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate. Part of the mesoprotech complex. This substance helps regulate the production of melanin and supports the protection of collagen in the skin.

Chemical and mineral UV filters. mesoestetic pigment control combines chemical filters, such as octocrylene and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, with the mineral filter titanium dioxide. A chemical filter sinks into the top layer of the skin and converts UV radiation into heat. A mineral filter stays on the skin as particles and absorbs most of the radiation there. Together they provide broad spectrum protection, which means protection against both UVA and UVB radiation.

Iron oxides (CI 77492, CI 77491, CI 77499). These colour pigments give the product its tint. They even out the skin tone and subtly cover irregularities.

Sun protection works differently from depigmentation. Depigmentation is the process in which an existing pigment spot fades. That usually relies on targeted ingredients such as tranexamic acid or azelaic acid, used in an evening routine. mesoestetic melan 130 pigment control does not depigment by itself; it protects the skin against the UV radiation that drives new pigment formation. Without daily protection, spots can return.
