Whitening and Brightening Mela Defense Serum
Description
Mela Defense Whitening Serum is a unique formulation of Hanbang (Korean Traditional Medicine). This silky serum is ideal for targeting stubborn pigment.
Ingredients include:
- Tranexamic Acid – A highly effective tyrosinase inhibitor that helps repair damaged cells. By inhibiting tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin synthesis, it regulates melanin production, addressing hyperpigmentation and promoting an even skin tone.
- Niacinamide – Decreases melanin production, reduces inflammation, and brightens skin tone.
- RiFerm-NPG™ – Contains fermented rice water and has received multiple awards for innovation in formulation.
Recommended Use:
- Daily application
- Indicated for addressing UV-related skin damage: dark spots, hyperpigmentation, melasma
- Effective for preventing skin discoloration, especially in areas with a high UV index (above 2)
What Is a Tyrosinase Inhibitor & Why It’s Important
Tyrosinase is the primary enzyme involved in melanin production. When overactive, it can trigger excess melanin, resulting in:
- Dark spots
- Sunspots
- Melasma
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Tyrosinase inhibitors slow or block this enzyme, reducing melanin at its source.
Key Benefits
- Prevention of Excess Pigment: Inhibits formation of new dark spots
- Reduction of Existing Discoloration: Supports gradual fading of hyperpigmented areas
- Brighter, More Even Tone: Promotes a uniform complexion
- Enhanced Photoprotection: Many inhibitors provide antioxidant support, limiting UV-induced pigment formation
Prevention
Tyrosinase inhibitors function as an essential form of “pigment insurance”, regulating pigment formation before it becomes visible. This is particularly important for melanin-reactive skin and enhances the safety and outcomes of advanced treatments and stronger chemical peels.
How to Use
Apply as part of a brightening routine after cleansing and actives (AM: L-ascorbic acid; PM: retinoid or metabolic exfoliant) and before moisturizer or sunscreen.
Note:
Well-tolerated by most skin types. Extra caution is advised for very sensitive or reactive skin when layering with strong actives (AHAs, BHAs, retinoids). Introduce gradually to minimize irritation.
