In the spring of 1999, Civant Skin Care had embarked on a
business plan to develop the company's most powerful skin
lightening product. Not only was this formula meant to
be effective, but also safe for normal use. Though the idea
was simple enough, the research and development to create
such a product was surprisingly extensive. Every possible
factor was considered in creating this revolutionary
formula. What ingredients should be used? How should they be
applied? Even minute factors like, what kind of container
will keep the ingredients fresh and active. Upon completion,
the product was officially named Meladerm® and this new
formula incorporated the industry's latest research and most
cutting edge technologies. And after four years of tests and
trials, it was finally available for the public in the fall
of 2003. Since then, our R&D Team has been continuously
improving the formula and product line with new innovations
making Meladerm® the most advanced formula on the market
today.
"Ever
since I can remember I had this dark patch of skin
under my eyes on both sides of my nose. Someone had
told me to try using lemon juice which I did but it
only made it worse. I bought Meladerm and have been
using it for about 2 months and there has been a
huge difference. Ive attached my before and after
pic to this email so you can really see the
difference."

What is Meladerm
used for?
Meladerm® is generally used to reduce the appearance of
hyperpigmented skin on the body or face. Many of our
customers use the product to achieve a uniform skin tone by
lightening uneven areas and dark spots. Our products can
also be used to brighten the overall complexion by
lightening sun damaged skin.
What
makes Meladerm
unique?
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 skin whitening 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 our active ingredients and
extracts for superior efficiency. Most cheaper quality
manufacturers do not take these precautions.
When creating a
skin lightening 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.
How does Meladerm
work?
Your skin color comes from a natural pigment called
melanin. Melanin pigment is synthesized in specialized
cytoplasmic organelles called melanosomes Within the
melanosome, the enzymatic conversion of the amino acid
tyrosine to melanin is catalyzed by the enzyme
tyrosinase. The melanosomes in darker portions of the
skin are more active than those found in normal areas of
the body. The ingredients found in our formula counter
this process in multiple ways by dealing with not only
the melanosomes, but also the enzyme tyrosinase. With
the help of exfoliation agents, the initial lightening
effects of the complex can often be seen within 2 weeks.
In order to naturally fade the appearance of dark skin spots and obtain an
even complexion, you must dedicate time and patience to the
process. Results will vary based on your particular skin
condition and the amount of sun exposure received. Though
initial improvement is often seen in just 2 weeks, full
results generally appear after 2-3 months of regular use.
