about our MelanoFade Fusion Serum

LUMINOSITY. WITHOUT COMPROMISE.

Stubborn pigmentation? Melasma flare-ups? Hormonal discolouration or sun-induced unevenness?

MelanoFade is strategically designed for skin struggling with the dulling effects of pigment overload. Whether it’s post-acne dark spots, hormonal-driven pigmentation, or UV damage, this multi-pathway serum helps restore clarity and radiance with convincing results — without irritation or harsh bleaching agents. 

Formulated with a potent blend of 12 functional actives and infused with our proprietary Glow4Green Technology in a next-gen delivery system, this high-performance serum targets multiple pathways of pigmentation formation—from melanin overproduction to oxidative stress and inflammation while reinforcing the skin barrier for a more even, luminous complexion. 

• Alpha arbutin, tetrapeptide-30 and resorcinol help reduce melanin production and fade stubborn dark spots.

• Glutathione and pea extract support pigment correction and antioxidant protection.

• Spirulina calms redness and post-inflammatory pigment changes.

• Chlorophyll, vitamin E and malachite defend against free radical damage and future pigmentation triggers.

• Hyaluronic acid deeply hydrates and smooths texture.

Strategically-formulated. Clinically advanced. Staggeringly effective.

*The colour, scent and texture of our products may vary owing to natural compounds used.

♡ Tip from Dr. Vanessa
"Brightening pathways—especially when blocking the pigmentation enzymes—require consistent application over 6–12 weeks to see best results. Pair with the MultiMasker Exfoliating Flash-peel and the Melano-Correct Skin Pods for further lightening together with vigilant SPF application."
