pHformula MD MELA Active Recovery is an advanced multi-corrective treatment that helps to improve the appearance of hyperigmentation by providing superior skin-brightening benefits. Suitable for all skins with dark marks or pigmentation. It is not suitable for sensitive or rosacea-prone skins.

Key ingredients include Mandelic Acid, Arbutin, Niacinamide a potent blend of ingredients that inhibit the tyrosinase process and block melanin production that causes pigmentary changes in the skin, together with Glutathione and Phytic Acids which are also antioxidants. Retinol regulates cellular differentiation and stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Salicylic Acid, an effective keratolytic, helps to stimulate cellular turnover and giving the skin a healthy glow. Argan Plant Stem Cells improve the regenerative capacity of dermal stem cells thereby achieving deep-seated rejuvenation of the skin. Non-comedogenic. Fragrance-free. Paraben-free. No lanolin or mineral oil. Not tested on animals.

Recommendation: pHformula MD MELA Active Recovery is a targeted moisturising cream that uses some of my favourite ingredients to target pigmentation. It is fast-absorbing, delivering multi-ingredients into the skin via a sophisticated delivery system. It helps to block various stages of pigmentary changes in the skin and is also a great product to use after skin rejuvenation treatments to speed up recovery and avoid hyperpigmentation. It can be used on its own or under a neutral cream such as pHformula POST Recovery Cream depending on your skin hydration requirements.

Caution: This product contains Mandelic Acid which is derived from bitter almonds and should be avoided if you have a nut allergy.

Directions:

• Apply to a clean, dry skin after cleansing in the morning and evening.
• Apply this corrective treatment as the first product, under your serum & the pHformula Recovery cream or another day/night cream that does not contain active ingredients i.e. neutral cream.
• It is best to introduce active ingredients to the skin slowly accordance to your skin tolerance.
• Always apply a good quality, high factor, broad spectrum sunscreen over this product every morning.
