I really appreciate your scientific approach! I don’t like when brands claim to have discovered an ingredient that is better than a drug… I think melasyl may be an option when hydroquinone is not ideal or during a break from it, but I also find it hard to believe it will deliver better results than hydroquinone. Great video!
So I’m going to test Melasyl on my left cheek, and 2% HQ on the right. I do have 5% HQ but will keep it fair and don’t want to irritate my skin so won’t use that xD. It’s the Mela B3 la roche. I’m going to stop kojic, and all my other melanin disruptors
@@gungkrisna9616 I haven’t started it yet as I want to stop other products to keep it fair and see if it works on new and old hyperpigmentation. Will update when I start which should be this week
If there is improvement may be you can continue to use it longer. Or you can try to use hydroquinone first then use loreal as maintenance since hydroquinone is not safe for long term use. Maybe Melasyl works but the percentage is lower and it's more gentle and takes longer to work? I know someone who used Thiamidol in Eucerin works for her very severe melasma but it took her few months like at least 8 months to see a drastic improvement.
Sadly broke me out bad and I am not even usually sensitive and pretty used to of actives. Truly wanted this to work but their customer service is good.
Me too, I just tried a sample and I suspect it reacted badly (skin rash, but only in certain areas of face). I will try again to see if it was actually this product, for now I will stick with Thiamidol (nivea, eucerin)
Thanks for the review. I'll just stick to my multi-ingredient formulas containing kojic acid. Maybe the Mela B3 has a more concentrated dose of Melasyl or something added to it to boost the efficacy
I think the Mela B3 is 0.5% Melasyl. Melasyl is now also in a Khiel’s product cause they’re all under L’Oreal. I got the Mela B3 serum for now cause CVS had 30% off and in US I can’t get Hydroquinone without a prescription.. my dermatologist only gave me Doxycycline for my acne but not Hydroquinone :/
Also the serum from LRP smelled really badly, the fragrance was strong and bothersome, and after you blend in, the true smell from the active can be felt, it smells very badly like something rotten which I would not mind, but the product gave me a skin rash too.

I wonder how it compares to Thiamidol (Nivea/Eucerin). Apperently they work in the same exact way.

Amazing! Keep us updated ;)

1:37 what's quite surprising to see is that resveratrol at only 0.2% is a great alternative to other brightening ingredients.
Yes that surprised me too, I looked online for people experiencing brightening with resveratrol but haven’t found much.
Thanks for the honest review.

Which multi ingredient formula is your favourite please

Been looking for a good SAP serum. What’s the % in the Cos De Baha? It’s great it has Ferulic, e and MSM
It has 5% SAP.
@@DumitruAlexandrovthank you 😁
What is SAP?
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate
Also the serum from LRP smelled really badly, the fragrance was strong and bothersome, and after you blend in, the true smell from the active can be felt, it smells very badly like something rotten which I would not mind, but the product gave me a skin rash too.
Please make a video on dermastamping and how to start
The australian version of bright reveal does not have melasyl
In Thailand and Indonesia, they put Melasyl into their Glycolic-Bright serum.
That's the one Loreal sells in México@@jam6web84
In Canada, I don’t think the L’Oreal Bright Reveal serum contains melasyl but the La Roche-Posay Mela B3 serum is available but costs more.
