hello.
Mesoestetic's website has a pdf info sheet on Dermamelan ... according to it, it has retinol and not retinyl palmitate. Has the company changed the ingredient? I am concerned if it contains retinyl palmitate for its propensity to cause cancerous cells.Thanks.

Hello,
Dermamelan contains Kojic Acid, Phytic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Arbutine, Titanium Dioxide and Retinyl Palmitate. These products block the formations of melanin (pigment) by inhibiting the tryosinase – an essential enzyme involved in the formation of pigment.

It can have various side effects like skin redness, peeling, flakiness and tightening. I suggest you to consult a dermatologist and discuss it with him before going in for any treatment.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
