3 years ago I found this lotion in a skincare review of products to even/lighten skintone. At that point I was so careless with cheap foundations and the wrong skincare that my skin was covered in dark marks, uneven, and the texture was rough. I could not stand even looking in the mirror. All the months I dealt with my skin, and in only 3 weeks 60% of the damage was fading. I felt comfortable just wearing my bareface and a friend at work asked me what I was doing. The meladerm of 2015 was fantastic. I didn't need any other skincare but one pump in the morning and evening. I found my holygrail..

And then meladerm went 'oil-free', and its 2016 formula was no longer my friend. They tried to get a little cheap and use more kojic acid in it and olive oil. Those two ingredients are not good for medium to caramel skintones. For some its a great combo; usually on really dark skin women trying to hyper lighten a few shades.

SO, for the next two years I could not use meladerm. And just hoped that through surveys and reviews, they would realize this formula was not quality. Especially since they lowered the amount of gigawhite in it. I would check the ingredients list to see it change and at last, this year, with the navy blue label, it went back to the structure of the classic! They use less kojic acid and added in sepiwhite. I've been suffering these last two years but now after a week, things are looking up.

My advice. Buy as many as you can. This stuff works and they have the formula for success. May Meladerm always exist..its a gift to this world!

The acne product that actually worked for me. Love it. Now my face is clear and all the scars and acne are gone

Slow but working. I have consumed two bottles of Meladerm, Consumed one bottle but no change but after second people asked me why my skin is getting better. After reviewing numerous positive reviews I purchased this but its terribly slow. I have ordered two more bottles now let's see and hope for the best. Will share new experience soon.

I've only been using Meladerm for two weeks. Here's what I can tell you. I have acne prone skin and I'm afraid to try new products because I'm afraid of break-outs. Because I experienced melasma that was making me very sad, I decided to try this product. I was very timid at first and applied it to a very small area of my face to see if I would break out. Then I gradually increased the area until I started to cover the entire area of hyperpigmented skin. NO BREAKOUTS! It's only been two weeks so of course results are limited, but I am starting to see a brightening of my skin that is encouraging enough that I will continue using the product for a couple of months to see what happens. My dermatologist gave me a prescription with hydroquinone in it, but I will give Meladerm a full two months before I decide whether or not to use the Rx. I will update my review again after I've given the product enough time to work. I should mention that I am also exfoliating daily with Clinique's 7 day scrub, because I had a couple of samples at home.

Love Meladerm. I developed melasma in my 30s and nothing worked to lighten it. I tried natural remedies and all of the doctor prescribed stuff. I took a chance with Meladerm and just after a month I started seeing the brown patches breaking up. Its been 3 months now and the melasma is much much lighter. I don't feel as self conscious about going out without makeup and even with just a light layer of foundation it completely disappears. I've been recommending this product to all my friends and they all love it!

This is my first review ever on a skin product. I am 40 and have suffered really bad acne since I was a teenager. I’ve been to numerous dermatologist and have had no joy. They put me on steroids, antibiotics, you name it I’ve gone through them all! My acne has always been around the jaw area. I stopped antibiotics last year after they caused a lot of damage and havoc and decided to make my own research on the internet. I have always been conscious about my diet, I’d go as far as saying I’ve been eating clean food so I knew it was not down to poor diet etc. I knew that it was something to do with hormonal imbalance. I tried a lot of supplements. After doing a lot of research I found came across a forum which you had to pay before you can get access. I thought, why not, I’ve already spent thousands of pounds on skincare products a mere $15 is not going to break my bank. I came across some interesting hormonal balancing supplements and decided to try them. To cut the long story short, my acne cleared after 3-4 months and I was too scared to get excited. I kept looking myself in the mirror several times a day looking for newly born zit. None!

By this time acne scars left me looking like a man with a beard as you can imagine after all these years. I did more research online again and after trying several products that promised clearing blemishes etc, by chance I came across Civant! I had given up by that time. After using Meladerm for 3 weeks the scars started to fade. I first bought 2 Meladerm, face wash and toner all in one go. I am still on my first one. I started using it on the 21 May 2018. During the first 2 weeks I developed fine rash that freaked me out. I got a little bit scared thinking I had an allergic reaction but I thought that must be expected when you start a new skincare regimen. I continued using the product. It cleared after a few days. My skin is generally very sensitive. The texture of my skin has dramatically improved. It’s so unbelievably smooth. Scars are still there but fading fast. I use the regimen morning and evening.

Few weeks ago I bought one more Meladerm, too scared to run out, more face wash, toner and finally the serum which I never noticed they had before. Because my skin is very dry so I’ll now order the moisturiser. I live in UK and obviously I had to pay £15 customs fee. My first order arrived pretty quickly, within 2 weeks or 1 and a half week. The second order took longer and I contacted Civant customer services and they assured me it was on its way. If you have acne scars I would definitely recommend this product. I’m black by the way, thought this might help if you’re wondering if it’s suitable for all skin colours. Sorry for such a long review but I thought it might help anyone who’s in doubt.

Oh... one more thing....when I was doing my research I also decided to do a food intolerance test, and I found out that eggs were causing some of the havoc with my hormones and some other foods which I cut out. That’s a story for another day!

I have been using this product for a few months now and was a little frustrated because I didn't think it was working on my melasma; however, it is in fact working! I first realized the change in a recent photo where my melasma was not even visible! That hasn't happened in years! With that said, I can see the hyperpigmentation when I look at my face in the mirror but the spots are much lighter than they used to be, I don't even worry about using a lot of makeup to cover up anymore. I'm not sure if the melasma will completely disappear but so far I'm happy these spots at least look lighter. I have literally spent thousands of dollars over the years on peels, medicated treatments, dermatologists, Obagi, Rodan & Fields, etc. and so far, this seems to be the only product that is actually doing something. I'm pleased.

I use Meladerm with AHA Exfoliating Serum and these products work! I have brown spots on my hands and arms and have seen a significant improvement in the pigmentation. I use both products twice a day and the serum lasts longer than the cream, but I will continue to order both!

Started seeing results in just 3 weeks. This is pretty much the only thing that has worked for me.

Waste of money. Totally useless. I bought two bottles at once, used them regularly and there was no improvement in my skin tone and hyperpigmentation
