THE 4.5.6 MASTER COMPLEX
Science-backed and bespoke, our approach to formulating skincare for darker skin includes pure biomimetic ingredients, balanced concentrations led by pharmaceutical expertise and scientifically-alive, vitalised water, to deliver nutrients deep into the skin for optimal results.
OLEA EUROPAEA LEAF EXTRACT
Antioxidant that’s 2.5 times more effective than vitamins C and E, offering antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits.
SPIRULINA MAXIMA POWDER
Treats dark circles, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation, while eliminating acne-causing bacteria.
HARPAGOPHYTUM PROCUMBENS ROOT EXTRACT
Antioxidant that fights oxidative stress to relieve melanin-rich skin of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
RADISH ROOT FERMENT FILTRATE
Natural preservative-alternative that keeps products fresher, for longer, while acting as a peptide for acne.
CITRIC ACID
AHA that sloughs away dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and rebalances pH levels for a healthy skin barrier.
ROYAL JELLY EXTRACT
A rich source of moisturising lipids that increases collagen production, regulates oil production, and boosts hydration levels.
THE SCIENCE OF BIOMIMETIC ESSENCE
Dry skin complaints are frequent within the melanin-rich community. This is mainly explained by the fact that darker skin phototypes IV, V and VI, living in colder climates with insufficient sunlight for their skin metabolism are more prone to dehydration, xerosis, and dullness.
These skin conditions are often exacerbated by pollution, urban lifestyle, diet, hormonal fluctuations and organ diseases. To solve these issues, the skin barrier must be reset and enforced to increase the skin’s ability to retain its natural moisture.
The skin micronutrition levels and natural moisturising factors must be increased before occlusives, which are the main focus of most moisturisers, are applied to seal in the hydration. Transform your daily skincare routine with Mela Skin Reset Biomimetic Essence, a luxurious botanical enriched ‘skin drink’ that will bring back your glowing vitality.

Dry skin be gone... Forever.This formula is incredible! When you see how lightweight is it, you will never believe just how deeply hydrating this is.
I’ve been using this product for around 2 weeks and don’t understand how I went so long without using it. My skin feels so much more hydrated and after going one day without using it I know I will definitely be ordering it when it’s released.

Works for meOnly been using it for a few weeks but my skin is glowing.
I have been using this lotion for a few weeks. It's very light, has a very strong perfume, floral fragrance which disappears after a while. absorbs easily into my skin and is hydrating as I was able to go without moisturiser comfortable.

FAQs
What does a Skin Essence do for the skin?
Our Essence is like a hydration bomb for your skin. It works to deliver a potent dose of emollients and humectants that penetrate deeply into your skin's cells, helping to increase natural moisture levels and leave you with a glowing complexion. Think of it as a refreshing drink for your thirsty skin!
Do I need an Essence if I use a Toner and a Serum?
To essence or not to essence? That is the question. It really depends on what your skin is craving. If you feel like your complexion could use a little extra TLC in the hydration department or you want to tackle specific concerns like dullness, then an essence could be a great addition to your skincare routine.
Can I use the essence in place of a toner?
Hold up, sister! Essences and toners are like mandarins and oranges - they may look similar, but their functions are totally different. Toners are the final step of cleansing. Essences are all about delivering a high concentration of hydrating ingredients deeper into cells. So, use them both for the best results!
Is an essence a fancy word for a serum?
Not quite! While serums and essences both pack a punch of active ingredients, essences are typically thinner, more focused on hydration, and less dense than their serum counterparts.
Does the essence also work for oily skin?
Absolutely not! Oily skin is simply a cry for help from dehydrated skin, so the best way to tackle excess oil is to give it a big gulp of hydration. And that's where our essence comes in - it's the hydration hero that will keep oily skin looking balanced and radiant.
