Actually novel ingredients with actually novel mechanisms of action are quite uncommon, so that needs some applause from me. I\u2019m also glad it\u2019s a well-tested, synthetic active, and not a midnight moon flower extract that needs a prayer and three spells to work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to how effective this is, I\u2019m not the best test subject as I don\u2019t have that much pigmentation. However, I got some very nice feedback from my followers and my patients with hyperpigmentation. I\u2019m pleased with how multitasking it is, for example it will be nice as a morning antioxidant serum. I liked using it a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question I got a lot &#8211; Melasyl or Thiamidol? As far as I know there weren\u2019t any head to head studies done, so I\u2019d say &#8211; why not both? A Melasyl serum, and then a Thiamidol cream, like Eucerin\u2019s Filler + Elasticity ot <a href=\"https:\/\/english.skinunmasked.com\/index.php\/2023\/10\/04\/eucerin-pigment-control-spf50\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1491\">Pigment Control <\/a>sunscreen.
