skin affected by
melasma, the formulation being composed of: 10%
papain; 5%
urea; 6%
zinc sulfate and 5% ubiquinol, in a
cream base q.s. 100g. This formulation must be produced by a trained professional who understands chemical processes and the use of each composition for proper handling. The product is for nighttime topical use, for any type of
skin, and must be applied to clean,
dry skin. The formulation should be applied to the area of the
melasma and, once absorbed into the
skin, sunscreen should be used on top of the product. The minimum period of treatment should be 6 to 12 months. Said formulation is considered to combat
