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.
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.
