MELINE® 05 Pigment home mask

An intensive 30 g clay mask with exfoliating acids, tranexamic acid and retinal to visibly improve stubborn pigmentation, uneven tone and sun-exposed texture.

Created to complement professional pigmentation protocols, MeLine 05 Pigment Home Mask is a high-performance weekly treatment that promotes skin renewal while improving the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone.

Its multi-acid formula combines phytic, lactobionic, mandelic, lactic, salicylic and azelaic acids to exfoliate accumulated surface cells and reveal a smoother, more luminous complexion. Tranexamic acid targets the appearance of persistent discolouration, while retinal supports skin renewal and visibly refines photoaged texture.

The clay-based formula also provides antioxidant support and helps prepare the skin for professional MeLine 01 Caucasian Skin and MeLine 01 Ethnic Skin treatments. When incorporated after professional care according to your practitioner’s directions, it can help optimize and maintain visible results.

How to Use

Use once weekly in the evening or according to your skincare professional’s directions.

1. Cleanse the face with a gentle cleanser and pat the skin completely dry.
2. Apply a generous, even layer over the face, avoiding the eye contour, lips, nostrils and any irritated areas.
3. Leave the mask on for 45 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and gently pat the skin dry.
5. Follow with a calming moisturizer such as MeLine 03 Moist.

Do not apply to broken, irritated or recently sensitized skin. Avoid using additional retinoids, exfoliating acids, facial scrubs or other intensive treatments during the same evening unless directed by a skincare professional.

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher every morning and reapply throughout the day.

When using the mask before or after a professional MeLine treatment, follow the schedule provided by your practitioner rather than introducing it independently.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation

With active skincare, precision is more powerful than excess.

MeLine 05 Pigment Home Mask combines several exfoliating acids with retinal, making it significantly more active than a traditional hydrating or brightening mask. Use it as a scheduled weekly treatment—not whenever the skin looks dull—and keep the remainder of your evening routine gentle, hydrating and barrier-supportive.

A strong tingling sensation, persistent redness or prolonged discomfort is not a sign that the product is working better. Rinse immediately if significant irritation develops and contact your skincare professional before using it again.

Because pigmentation is strongly influenced by light exposure, daily SPF 50+ is essential. For melasma-prone skin, consider a tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides to provide additional protection against visible light.

For a personalized home-care schedule or professional MeLine treatment in Edmonton, book a consultation with the Loshen & Crem skin team.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I use MeLine Pigment Home Mask?

Use the mask once weekly unless your skincare professional recommends a different schedule. Because it contains several exfoliating acids and retinal, more frequent application may increase irritation without producing better results.

How long should I leave the mask on?

Leave it on for up to 45 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. First-time or sensitive users should follow the personalized timing recommended by their skincare professional.

Is this an overnight mask?

No. Despite sometimes being described as a nighttime treatment, MeLine 05 Pigment Home Mask is a rinse-off mask. It should not be left on overnight.

Can I use it without receiving a professional MeLine treatment?

It can be used as intensive home care, but professional guidance is recommended because the formula combines multiple exfoliating acids with retinal. A practitioner can determine whether it is appropriate for your skin and existing routine.

Can I use it with retinol or exfoliating acids?

The mask already contains retinal and several exfoliating acids. Do not combine it with another retinoid, acid peel, exfoliating toner or facial scrub on the same evening unless directed by a skincare professional.

Is MeLine Pigment Home Mask suitable for melasma?

The mask is formulated to improve visible pigmentation irregularities and can complement a complete MeLine melasma protocol. Because melasma is complex and easily aggravated by irritation, heat and light exposure, professional guidance and consistent sunscreen use are strongly recommended.

Can sensitive skin use this mask?

This is an intensive active formula and may not be appropriate for highly reactive, compromised or sensitized skin. Consult your skincare professional before use and do not apply it during an active flare or when the skin barrier is impaired.

Can I use the mask after a professional peel or facial?

Do not apply it immediately after a professional treatment unless your practitioner has specifically instructed you to do so. Your skin should be fully recovered before exfoliating products are reintroduced.

Why is sunscreen essential?

Exfoliating acids and retinal increase the importance of careful sun protection. Daily SPF 50+ helps protect newly revealed skin and reduces the light exposure that can deepen existing pigmentation or contribute to its visible recurrence.

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

The formula contains retinal, a vitamin A derivative. Consult your physician or qualified healthcare professional before using this product during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
