FAQ
What does melasyl do for your skin?
Melasyl™ is a gentle yet powerful active that helps visibly reduce dark spots by targeting excess melanin at the source. Paired with Vitamin C in Garnier’s serum, it works to even skin tone and boost radiance for clearer, brighter-looking skin.
How long does it take for melasyl face serum to work?
Garnier’s Vitamin C Face Serum with Melasyl™ delivers visible results fast: skin tone looks more even in just 3 days, and dark spots are visibly reduced by up to 70% over time with consistent use.
For best results, apply daily as part of your skincare routine and follow with SPF during the day.
Is melasyl better than vitamin C?
Melasyl™ isn't better than Vitamin C - they're better together. Vitamin C brightens the skin, while Melasyl™ targets the root cause of dark spots by regulating excess melanin. In Garnier’s Vitamin C Serum, this powerful duo works in sync to visibly reduce dark spots and even skin tone faster - delivering clearer, brighter skin you can see in days.
