Key ingredients
12% pure vitamin C
Ascorbic acid provides antioxidant support while helping improve radiance, uneven-looking tone, elasticity and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Salicylic acid
A beta hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates built-up surface cells, helps unclog pores and supports smoother-looking skin texture.
Neurosensine
A soothing peptide complex combining arginine and tyrosine to help calm the skin and improve the formula’s comfort.
Hyaluronic acid
Sodium hyaluronate and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid help attract moisture and support a hydrated, smoother skin feel.
Melas approved because…
It combines a meaningful 12% concentration of pure vitamin C with ingredients that address radiance, fine lines and uneven texture in one morning treatment.
Salicylic acid adds gentle exfoliating support, helping the complexion look smoother without requiring a separate exfoliating step in the same routine.
Neurosensine and hyaluronic acid help balance the active formula by supporting comfort and hydration.
The lightweight texture and UV-protective packaging also make it a practical daily option for maintaining the stability and performance of pure vitamin C.
