Reading Time: <1 minuteYesterday, I held a meeting with the cosmetics specialists of INFIX Co., Ltd. https://www.infix-inc.info/, who I will be serving as a development advisor, to discuss cosmetics containing the cutting-edge beauty ingredient [cysteamine]. Until now, topical hydroquinone and tranexamic acid have been the mainstream for treating blemishes such as melasma, but a beauty serum containing [cysteamine], which is gentle on the skin but has the same effectiveness as 24% hydroquinone application, is one of the best choices for patients with blemished skin. ``The symptom relief of 3 patients with melasma was evaluated in a clinical test over a period of 8 months and a preliminary test two months after treatment, comparing the symptom relief of 4 patients with melasma using an antioxidant beauty serum (MELA BRIGHT ®[C+]) containing 4% cysteamine and 2% L-ascorbic acid with the reference treatment (hydroquinone 2%). The results of the clinical test two months after treatment showed that both treatment methods significantly reduced melasma by an average of about 18%, making it clear that they have the same level of effectiveness. Melasma: A beauty serum to replace hydroquinone: A comparative study of applying cysteamine to half of the face has been reported by Dr. Aoi Nakano and others. There are only a limited number of cosmetics that contain active ingredients and can be used in medical institutions. It seems promising. INFIX is one of the top manufacturers of cosmetic medicine in Japan, leading the cosmetic medicine industry in various fields such as education and product development. I have also given lectures at academic conferences, symposiums, and the cosmetic medicine community. Cosmetic medicine awareness, education, etc. The cosmetic medicine industry today is rife with problems, profit-first practices, and evidence-free treatments. Cosmetic surgeons and cosmetic dermatologists with very little experience are worsening the image of cosmetic medicine. Cosmetic dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons need to keep up with the latest information and study every day.
