A: Hello Traci! Thank you for reaching out with your question about incorporating the Mela B3 Gel Cleanser into your skincare routine! It's wonderful to hear that you are already enjoying the benefits of our Lipikar AP+ Body & Face Wash and the Lipikar Triple Repair Lotion, which are both excellent for providing intense hydration and supporting the skin's barrier, especially for very dry or sensitive skin. Our Mela B3 Gel Cleanser is formulated with our patented Melasyl™ and Niacinamide to help gently cleanse while targeting the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. It is designed to be gentle enough for daily use and for sensitive skin, making it a suitable addition for many individuals. Given that you are already using gentle and moisturizing products like Lipikar, the Mela B3 Gel Cleanser can certainly be considered as an addition to your routine if you are looking to address concerns related to uneven skin tone or dark spots. It would complement your existing regimen by providing targeted benefits while still respecting your skin's needs. We always recommend introducing new products gradually to see how your skin responds.

A: Hello there! Thank you for your question about the Mela B3 Gel Cleanser. Our Mela B3 Gel Cleanser is designed to cleanse the skin effectively, removing impurities, dirt, and excess oil, while also providing benefits for skin tone uniformity due to its Mela B3 complex. It offers a thorough cleanse that leaves the skin feeling fresh and clean. While it is effective in cleansing the skin and removing daily grime, for heavy or long-wear makeup, we generally recommend a dedicated makeup remover or a double-cleansing method as a first step to ensure all traces of makeup are thoroughly dissolved before using your Mela B3 Gel Cleanser for a deeper cleanse. This ensures your skin is optimally prepared to receive the full benefits of the Mela B3 formula.

A: Hey, Great question! The La Roche Posay Mela B3 Gel Cleanser does not claim to remove makeup. For the removal of waterproof products, we suggest you try the La Roche Posay Micellar Water Ultra. This micellar water is a no-rinse cleanser that cleanses down to microscopic pollution particles. Dirt-encapsulating micelles in the formula attract dirt, oil, and makeup, making it easy to gently wipe them away.
