How to get rid of freckles and other types of hyperpigmentation?
Meladerm works very well on all types of hyper-pigmented areas on the face and body and can successfully fade melasma, sun damage, acne scars, dark spots, liver spots and even freckles. Freckles are a from of hyperpigmentation so using Meladerm will even out your skin tone like it does for dark spots and other skin discolorations. The exfoliation ingredients in Meladerm can assist in reducing dirt and old skin on the epidermis. Meladerm also contain high concentrations of Vitamin A and Vitamin E, both of which are known to reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. To specifically target wrinkles, use the Firm & Renew Complexwhich works well to reduce the appearance of fine lines and aging skin.
Does Meladerm work on all hyperpigmentation?
No. Hyperpigmentation can occur on many different layers of the skin. Though typically epidermal, hyperpigmentation can occasionally be dermal. Dermal pigmentation occurs underneath the skin where as epidermal is actually on the skin. In the case of dermal pigmentation, topical creams can not penetrate below the epidermis to alleviate the problem. Normally, the melanocytes are located in the basal layer of the epidermis and an increase in number or activity will cause epidermal hyperpigmentation. However, formed melanin may be transferred to the dermis or, in some cases, dermal melanocytes are present.

If your skin is overly sensitive to any of the ingredients in the formula, you should discontinue use.

When used twice daily on the entire face, the 1.7 oz lasts roughly 7 weeks. When treating smaller areas such as the hands or neck, the 1.7 oz should last much longer.
How long does it take to see results?
Initial improvement is often seen in 2 weeks with complete results after 2-3 months of regular use. Individual results may vary and first time customers are offered a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee if initial improvement is not seen. Results will vary depending on your skin type, skin condition, depth of pigmentation, and the amount of sun exposure you receive on a daily basis.

Women who are pregnant, plan to become pregnant or are nursing should wait to begin treatment with the cream until after pregnancy or when nursing has concluded. The safety and efficacy of Meladerm in pregnant women and nursing mothers have not been established.
Can skin lighteners be used to whiten the entire complexion?
All skin colors are beautiful and people should be discouraged from using skin lighteners for the sole purpose of ‘whitening’ the overall skin tone. Removing large amounts of your normal skin color through the use of any skin lightening cream, will decrease your skin’s natural defense against ultraviolet light which can lead to excessive sun sensitivity and skin irritation.
Is it normal to get pimples and/or peeling?
Some users may be extra sensitive to the ingredients in Meladerm. This can cause minor blemishes and/or peeling in the first week of use. This is normal and does not signify any harmful side effects. You can reduce the number of applications for the first two weeks and allow your skin to adjust to the ingredients. You should not see any pimples after your skin completely adjusts to the formula. If peeling/acne becomes severe, you may have an allergic reaction to Meladerm and should discontinue use.
Can it be mixed with other creams and/or products?
It’s not recommended that you directly mix Meladerm with any other substance. You may use additional moisturizers, toners and cleansing products in routine with Meladerm but please test for skin irritation when using multiple products on the face and body.
Can Meladerm be used on the body?
The cream is very concentrated and generally used on the face, hands and neck. However, there is no harm in using the cream on larger areas of the body. All Civant products are for external use only.
Can I wear makeup after applying Meladerm?
Yes. However, please wait at least 10 minutes before applying any makeup and/or sunblock. This will allow the cream to absorb properly into the skin.
Why’s Meladerm more effective than other products?
There are hundreds of skin lightening products already on the market. You may even see creams that contain the same active ingredients as Meladerm. So what makes the Meladerm formula so unique? Simply put, research! Though a low grade product might contain similar ingredients, it doesn’t guarantee its effectiveness. In order to harness the true power of the active ingredients, great care must be taken when manufacturing the product. Light and air can easily deteriorate substances like Kojic Acid. Other ingredients must be carefully stored in vacuum desiccators in order to preserve their shelf life. Furthermore, the Civant team takes great effort to micronize and filter all of the active ingredients and extracts for superior efficiency. Most cheaper quality manufacturers do not take these precautions. When creating a product, the base ingredients are just as important as the active ones. It is important to choose proper carriers and liposomes to ensure that the active ingredients are absorbed deeply into the skin. It is also wise to include effective preservatives and moisturizers to ensure minimal skin irritation. Meladerm contains the highest concentrations of active ingredients tolerated by the skin. The use of special base ingredients and high quality actives is what brings out the true effectiveness of the formula and sets us apart from other manufacturers.
