Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation
With pigmentation-prone skin, controlled consistency is more effective than unnecessary intensity.
Medium to deep skin tones can be especially prone to lingering dark marks when the skin becomes irritated. Apply MeLine 02 Ethnic Skin Day as directed and keep the remainder of your routine gentle, hydrating and barrier-supportive.
Daily sun protection is essential. Finish every morning with SPF 50+, reapply throughout the day and consider a tinted sunscreen containing iron oxides for additional protection against visible light.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I apply MeLine Ethnic Skin Day only to dark spots?
No. MeLine’s current directions recommend applying the serum evenly across the entire face. This supports a more uniform-looking result rather than concentrating the formula only on already-visible spots.
Who is MeLine Ethnic Skin Day designed for?
It is formulated specifically for medium to deep skin tones and Fitzpatrick phototypes IV–VI experiencing visible dark spots, uneven tone, stubborn, patchy discolouration or lingering dark marks.
Does “Ethnic Skin” refer to ethnicity?
“Ethnic Skin Day” is MeLine’s official product name, but product suitability should be determined by your Fitzpatrick phototype, pigmentation pattern and skin assessment—not ethnicity alone. A Loshen & Crem skincare professional can help determine the appropriate MeLine formula.
What is the difference between MeLine Caucasian Skin Day and Ethnic Skin Day?
Both are daytime pigmentation serums, but they are formulated for different phototypes. Caucasian Skin Day is intended for fair skin phototypes I–III, while Ethnic Skin Day is formulated for medium to deep skin phototypes IV–VI and contains pyruvic acid, salicylic acid and undecylenoyl phenylalanine.
How long should I use it?
MeLine recommends using the serum every morning for a minimum of 30 days. Your skincare professional may recommend a different duration when it is used as part of a personalized professional protocol.
Can I combine it with other exfoliating acids?
The formula already contains pyruvic, phytic and salicylic acids. Avoid adding another strong exfoliant to the same routine unless recommended by your skincare professional.
Can I use MeLine 03 Moist afterward?
Yes. Allow MeLine Ethnic Skin Day to absorb completely before applying MeLine 03 Moist for additional hydration and comfort. Always finish the morning routine with SPF 50+.
Why is daily sunscreen essential?
The formula contains exfoliating acids that may increase sun sensitivity. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ helps protect the skin and preserve the visible results of your pigmentation routine.
