This one dries down to a natural finish and feels like there is almost nothing on my face. No greasy film, no heavy shine and no new breakouts so far. I also appreciate that it is mineral protection without the thick paste feeling.

At the beginning I didn't see the instant magic I hoped for now 4 weeks in, melasma is still there, but definitely lighter.

I have sensitive skin and prefer mineral protection. Most mineral sunscreens feel like applying paint. This feels like a light lotion and disappears within seconds.

Time using it: just over a month. Result: is finally moving in the right direction. Routine: at night after cleansing. Concern: uneven pigmentation. I’d repurchase.

Amazing and the price/quality (if you get your hands on a promo like I did) is really attractive. Been using 3-4 products in the past this stack is working the best I've tried so far.

At first I thought $45 was expensive, but it replaced my moisturizer and sunscreen so it actually worked out cheaper for me. More importantly, I use it every single day because it feels good.

I nearly didn’t review this because the change was so gradual. I’m much less tempted to cover the area the second I wake up. My skin stayed comfortable, which is a bigger deal to me than a fast result. I used it once a day for six-ish weeks. I’m curious to see what another month does. I’ve tried to keep this fair by not changing half my bathroom cabinet at the same time. Before this I had bounced between brightening creams and whatever was being recommended that month. For this test I kept the boring basics stable, used the treatment pretty much every night, and watched the same areas instead of chasing overall ‘glow’. That made the improvement in pigmentation that always looks worse after summer much easier to judge.

Golfing has not been kind to my forehead. My routine is not complicated: cleanse, treat when needed, protect every morning. I rotate what I call itthe UV protector is basically just my everyday sunscreen now. The Fantony trio is simple enough that I've actually stayed with it.

Started with Rinse because a friend gave me hers to try. I ended up buying my own plus Mela 100. The texture and lack of tightness sold me.

Quick skin update: i first noticed the darker patches while I was pregnant, and years later they were still there. I wasn't looking for an overnight fix. The edges of my pigmentation look more broken up and less like one solid dark patch. I worked it into my normal routine and gave it time instead of adding five other new products.

A holiday made mottled sun pigmentation on the sides of my face flare up again, which is what pushed me to order this. What happened is more believable: after a solid twelve weeks, the darker spots I pick up every sunny holiday looks softer and easier to cover. I used it alongside daily SPF and had no major irritation.

My skincare-savvy sister laughed at my old routine. It behaves under my makeup, which is where most SPFs lose me. 4/5 for now.

I'm probably older than the average customer here, and I've tried more moisturizers and sunscreens than I can count. This one is in a league of its own. It feels like a lightweight serum, absorbs in seconds, leaves zero white cast, and never gets greasy. Once it's on, I completely forget I'm wearing it. I also appreciate that Fantony keeps things simple. One product that hydrates, protects, and actually feels great to use. Please don't ever change it.

So far my skin has been calm and comfortable. It doesn't sting, doesn't feel heavy and doesn't leave any white tint. I feel much better using it every morning, and the water-based texture is a huge improvement over the thick mineral creams I was used to.

Great for when you have periods where the pigment spots come up more extremely. For me I only use them then, although I am still using the UV sunscreen I think it's great

Good, steady improvement. Sun-related discolouration along my forehead is still present but looks considerably more even than before.

I run before work. 1) easy to apply 2) doesn't annoy my skin 3) works with the rest of Fantony. The big thing for me is the shadow above my lip. I'd buy it again.

Tiny thing, but I like that this doesn't make my skin feel squeaky. That sensation always meant trouble for my sensitive skin. Mela Rinse leaves it feeling normal.

One pump. Done. That's about the level of skincare effort I'm willing to put in, and this makes it ridiculously easy.

I'm a guy and honestly don't know much about skincare. My partner put me on the cleanser + Mela UV because of the sun spots on my forehead. Easy enough that I've actually kept using both.

Week eight changed my mind. I genuinely used to think the treatment serum was the important part and SPF was an extra. That was dumb. With the shadow above my lip, protection is half the job. The brown areas are still there, just not escalating every time I spend time outdoors. very happy.

Amazing product, leaves no weird make up layer, fully dissappears and I love the texture compared to other skincare products. I bought the bundle because my husband kept stealing mine, now he has his own lol. Keep it up!

My sun spots are mostly around my cheekbones and they used to make my skin look uneven even with makeup. They look softer now and my whole face seems brighter.

My concealer was doing overtime because of the blotchy areas that show through makeup on my cheeks. I’m glad I did not add three other treatments at the same time because now I can actually judge it. I noticed the tone looking more balanced before individual spots looked dramatically different. Nothing about the process has been dramatic, and I actually mean that as a compliment. No miracle claims from me. I am getting another bottle.

The tiny victory: I can do my face without building a small wall of concealer over the uneven brown patches near my hairline. That alone makes me happy.

My rule this time was simple: no chasing fast results with patchy skin tone. I used it in a very basic routine and tried not to judge the mirror every morning. Patchy skin tone has become noticeably less patchy. For me, i no longer pile makeup over that area. The result feels gradual and believable, which suits me much more than another harsh ‘quick fix’. It is staying in my routine. Personally, i used to change products whenever I had one bad skin day, which made it impossible to know what was helping. This time I stuck to the same routine for about five weeks. The reward was not a sudden transformation; it was noticing that hyperpigmentation that had stopped responding to my usual routine looks more even without foundation and that the surrounding skin looked calmer too. In my experience, that is a much more useful result for me.
