  Meladerm contains:

  Kojic Acid, Alpha-Arbutin, Niacinamide, Mulberry Extract, Bearberry Extract, Licorice Extract, Tego® Cosmo C250, Gigawhite, Lemon Juice Extract, and Emblica Extract.

   

  Kojic acid is a skin-lightening agent (a mild inhibitor of melanin). In some individuals it causes dermatitis.

   

  You can certainly apply it the first day after rolling with a 1.5 mm dermaroller. Nevertheless, skin-lightening agents have to be applied frequently to continuously prevent melanin production.

   

  Regularly using short-needled (0.2 mm) dermarollers to enable the enhanced and deep penetration of skin lightening products can be very useful in pigmentations that are in the dermis (deeper skin layer) such as dermal Melasma. Unfortunately, some skin lightening agents such as hydroquinone are not completely side-effect free (hydroquinone is banned in Europe) their application should be discontinued for fourl weeks every three months.

   

  Kojic acid sometimes causes dermatitis and regularly enhancing its absorption through dermarolling will increase its effectiveness but it may also enhance the likelihood of dermatitis in certain individuals. If the skin gets too irritated, stop applying it with dermarolling or reduce the frequency of application.
