Mela B3 Niacinamide Clarifying Cleanser

The Mela B3 cleanser provides dual skin benefits. It helps to clarify and purify the skin, removing excess oil and dead skin cells for a smoother complexion, while also taking advantage of Melasyl and niacinamide to correct the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. This clarifying cleanser also incorporates niacinamide, which supports a more even complexion while also strengthening the skin moisture barrier.

Mela B3 Niacinamide Cleanser can be used twice daily as part of your morning and evening skincare routines, before a facial moisturiser and serum. Always patch test new skincare products before regular use.

To enhance the skin benefits of the Mela B3 Cleanser, combine with the Mela B3 Serum, containing a higher concentration of Melasyl to fight uneven skin tone. For your morning routine, follow your serum with a moisturiser and broad-spectrum, high SPF sunscreen. For your evening routine, use the Mela B3 Serum or swap it out for a retinol serum and finish with a nourishing night cream.

The Mela B3 Clarifying Cleanser does contain a small concentration polyhydroxy acid, which, while a gentle exfoliant, can cause discomfort for sensitive or dry skin when used with retinol. We recommend using the Mela B3 Cleanser in the morning and a retinol serum at night. Depending on the rest of your routine and your skin type, you may be able to tolerate both in the same routine, but always follow retinol with a hydrating serum and moisturiser to balance out the drying effects.

Melasyl* is a new ingredient that fights hyperpigmentation like never before. After 18 years of research and screening more than 100 000 molecules, La Roche-Posay discovered a new ingredient that delivers superior efficacy, targeting dark spots, discolouration and uneven skin tone. Melaysl is formulated in the Mela B3 Clarifying Cleanser and the Mela B3 Serum.

Yes, niacinamide can be effective in a cleanser. Even though it is rinsed off, it still interacts with the skin during use and contributes to improving the look of uneven tone and dullness over time. When used consistently as part of your routine, a cleanser with niacinamide such as Mela B3 Cleanser helps support a more balanced appearance and leaves skin feeling refreshed and prepared for follow-up skincare products. For enhanced efficacy, we recommend using alongside other niacinamide skincare products, such as our Mela B3 Serum.
