La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Clarifying Gel Cleanser for Dark Spots 200ml

La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Clarifying Cleanser is a gently exfoliating gel cleanser developed for dark spots, post-acne marks, dullness and uneven-looking skin tone.

The formula combines Melasyl™, niacinamide and gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid, to cleanse away daily impurities while supporting skin-surface renewal. It leaves the complexion feeling clean and gently exfoliated, with a brighter and more even-looking appearance.

Suitable for all skin types and tones, including oily and sensitive skin, it can be used morning and evening on the face, neck and décolleté. As this is a rinse-off cleanser, it works best as the first step in a complete dark-spot routine rather than as the only treatment for persistent pigmentation.

Ideal for:

• Dark spots and uneven-looking pigmentation
• Post-acne marks
• Sun spots and age-related discolouration
• Dull or uneven-looking skin tone
• Skin that would benefit from gentle daily exfoliation

Key ingredient

Melasyl™
A La Roche-Posay active developed to target excess melanin before it contributes to visible pigmentation irregularities, supporting a more even-looking complexion.

Niacinamide
Vitamin B3 that supports a brighter, more even-looking skin tone while helping maintain the skin’s protective barrier.

Gluconolactone
A polyhydroxy acid that gently removes built-up surface cells and supports smoother, more radiant-looking skin.

Ceramide NP
A skin-identical lipid that helps reinforce the moisture barrier and keep the skin feeling comfortable after cleansing.

Melas approved because…

It combines effective daily cleansing with gentle PHA exfoliation, helping remove impurities and built-up surface cells without using abrasive scrub particles.

Melasyl™ and niacinamide make it especially relevant to routines focused on dark spots, post-acne marks and uneven-looking skin tone.

The inclusion of glycerin and ceramide NP helps support hydration and the skin barrier alongside the exfoliating ingredients.

It also pairs naturally with the Mela B3 Anti-Dark Spot Serum and daily sunscreen as part of a more complete pigmentation-care routine.
