How Curatory Credit works

Why I chose it

I chose Melan 130 for people who want a tinted, very high-factor sunscreen and are particularly concerned about pigmentation.

The tint helps reduce visible white cast and provides very light coverage, although one shade won’t suit every skin depth or undertone.

This product is a little more expensive than some of the other sunscreens here, so the tint and finish need to work for you.

The ingredients that make this special

A closer look at the ingredients doing the most meaningful work in this formula—and what the evidence can reasonably tell us.

Azeoglycine

A derivative of azelaic acid included to help with uneven pigmentation.

Read the clinical context

Azeloglycine, also known as potassium azeloyl diglycinate, is a derivative of azelaic acid. Mesoestetic includes it to help with uneven pigmentation. I would still judge Melan 130 mainly as a tinted sunscreen rather than a pigmentation treatment.
