"...the issue of pigmentation is not remote. There is abundant information and extensive research on this topic. For over three decades, the L’Oréal Group has dedicated significant efforts to studying skin pigmentation, resulting in the development of MelasylTM. The molecule that is specifically designed to address pigmentation concerns and meets the needs of people in Thailand and the SAPMENA region, which is home to diverse populations with varied skin tones..."
On 21st June 2567, L'Oréal Groupe launched Melasyl™, a groundbreaking innovation in the skincare industry. Melasyl™ is a molecule developed to address specific skin pigmentation issues, resulting from 18 years of extensive research and holding a patent. Skincare products containing Melasyl™ effectively address uneven skin tone, enhance natural skin tone, and tackle even the most persistent marks. This new molecule has undergone scientific testing 121 times. Currently, Melasyl™-infused products available in Thailand include Mela B3 from La Roche-Posay, comprising the Mela B3 serum and Mela B3 SPF30.
“The impact of pigmentation issues is more than skin deep and shown to affect a person’s quality of life. L’Oréal has dedicated over three decades to research in skin pigmentation, through which we have acquired a thorough and unique understanding of the mechanism behind hyperpigmentation in all its diversity. Our unique innovation to address skin discoloration while preserving the natural biological process of melanin formation (or melanin formation) is particularly important for Thailand and the SAPMENA region with its diversity of skin tones,” said Dhimoy Roy, Deputy Head of Research & Innovation – Emerging Markets at L’Oréal Groupe.
‘Melanin’ mainly determines the diversity of human skin tones. When exposed to sunlight, the body produces more melanin to protect skin cells. The amount of melanin produced depends on various factors and can lead to specific skin pigmentation issues such as dark spots and post-inflammatory marks. L'Oréal Group's products containing Melasyl™ help effectively diminish these existing dark spots including persistent ones, providing efficient solutions to these bothersome issues.
“Hyperpigmentation and melasma are among the top skincare search trends in Thailand, and one of the top reasons to visit a dermatologist,” said local dermatologist Dr. Poom Visutjindaporn.
For over a century, L’Oréal has been a leader in advanced sciences for beauty, with 35 years of dedicated research into skin pigmentation. Melasyl was first presented at the World Congress of Dermatology 2023 in Singapore, alongside the first worldwide epidemiological study on pigmentary disorders. Melasyl was recently featured at the American Academy of Dermatology’s annual meeting in San Diego in March.
