Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel
Cosmelan is a Depigmentation treatment based on the inhibition of tyrosinase, a basic enzyme in the melanin formation process. Several of the substances present in Cosmelan formula act by blocking this enzyme, even by inverting the metabolic process of the transformation chain. Its principal action is the elimination of melanin patches on the face (melasma and chloasma).

The Cosmelan depigmentation treatment is executed in 2 phases: The first phase consists of the application of Cosmelan I, a mask which you wear home and keep on from 4 to 12 hours, depending on your skin type. After the indicated time has elapsed, the mask is washed off with a mild cleanser and the Hydra-vital Factor Cream is applied. The second treatment phase consists of daily application of a maintenance cream called Cosmelan 2, containing botanical acids that support the depigmentation process. The cream is applied two to three times a day the first week following the application of the mask, then twice a day the second week, and once a day the third week forward.
