These products correct depigmented skin blemishes as they darken the discoloured areas.

They temporarily correct the white patches of vitiligo, as well as skin striae or pale marks of various types, by providing a pseudo-pigmentation similar to physiological pigmentation, which diminishes with natural cell turnover.

It is important to know that

• The active ingredients in our products have been used in the cosmetic industry for decades and significant reactions have never been reported.
• The self-tanning products do not offer protection from the sun's rays or UV lamps.
• They do not have any contraindications.
• They should be applied to dry, well cleansed skin, making sure that all residues of previously used cosmetic products have been removed.
• The application is carried out uniformly over the entire area concerned using a cotton bud, cotton-wool ball or special mitt.
• Initially the colour appears yellow, but after 1/2 minutes, with a chameleon effect, it turns into a more natural tone, like your own skin.
• The degree of colouration achieved varies from case to case. The colour intensity desired can be reached progressively by applying the product several times, remembering that the final result is seen only several hours after application.
• To prolong the colouration achieved, an application every 2/4 days, depending on personal needs, is all that is required.
• Should the product applied extend beyond the edges of the depigmented patch, the darker colouration can be eliminated from the surrounding skin by cleaning with a 5% sodium hypochlorite solution and rinsing immediately after.
• They should be applied to unbroken skin only.
• Avoid contact with eyes.

In case of accidental contact, rinse with abundant quantities of water.

Apply the cream evenly to the areas concerned. To preserve the colour, an application of product 2/3 times a week is sufficient. After applying, clean the palm of your hand with a damp cloth. Clean your nails with a brush.

FOR SMALL PATCHES OF SKIN
Smooth on with a cotton bud.

FOR LARGE AREAS
Apply with a mitt, using only a very small amount of product. An amount the size of a cherry, for example, is enough for the whole forearm.

Hands and feet tend to absorb a large amount of product. Therefore, apply a generous amount of moisturizing cream immediately before and after application.

The result will be a natural, even colour.

Can I swim when I have applied MELANCREAM?
Do not wash, bathe, shower or do physical exercise that may make you perspire during the development time of the colour, i.e. 3/4 hours. You can swim once the tan has developed, but swimming in the sea or in a pool which a large amount of chlorine will dissolve the pseudo-tan.

Can I use it during pregnancy?
Yes. The main ingredient is dihydroxyacetone, which acts only on the most superficial layers of the skin. However, it is best not to apply them on the breasts during breast feeding.

Will it protect me from exposure to UV rays?
No. There are no sun filters in these products, therefore during the day it's important to use sun protection.

How does this product work?
It contains a completely harmless active ingredient that gives the skin a natural colour, DHA, which is a colourless sugar. Interacting with the amino acids on the surface layer of the skin, DHA creates a temporary colour, a pseudo tan.
How much time do I have to wait before having a shower?
If possible, up to 8 hours. The tan can continue to develop for up to 24 hours.

How long will it last?
Usually from 2 to 10 days, depending on the type of skin. To ensure the new tan lasts as long as possible, use CREMA ANTIOSSIDANTE FORTE at least twice a day to nourish and keep the skin in the best possible condition.

Is it tested on animals and can it be harmful?
No, the active ingredients have never had known toxic effects.

I have never used these products. Is there something I should know before applying them?
If you suffer from allergies, you can do a patch test on a delicate area, such as the inside of the arm, 24 hours before application, and wait for any reactions, so that you can be sure you won't have an allergic reaction to the ingredients.

Can I use several products at the same time?
All our products are complementary and can be used together without problem while still maintaining the skin's transparency and without a "make-up" effect.

Can I use the products even if I don't have vitiligo?
All our products can be used by people without dyschromia.
