How to Use
After cleansing, apply a small amount to the face and gently press into the skin until absorbed. Follow with your moisturizer.
KrX recommends using the serum once daily, morning or evening, for a consistent period of 28–56 days.
If using in the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Daily sun protection is essential when working on the appearance of pigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Professional Tip
Pigmentation is rarely something that changes overnight. Consistency is key. Mela Défense is a beautiful addition to a professional corrective skincare routine because it combines targeted brightening ingredients with hydrating and skin-supportive ingredients.
For clients working on pigmentation, pair a consistent at-home routine with professional treatments and daily SPF for a comprehensive approach to maintaining a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
