Description
Melanin rich skin is incredible. It glows. It’s beautiful. Melanin protects your skin cell’s DNA so you look younger, longer. It also protects collagen-producing cells to strengthen skin.
Melanin naturally exists in all skin produced by melanocyte cells. Everyone has a similar amount of the melanocyte cells that produce melanin, but it’s the quantity of melanin that these cells produce that varies from person to person.
Melanin rich skin is also not treated by the skin care products we see today. We know one product doesn’t fit all. That’s why we created MELÉ. We understand melanin rich skin is unique, down to the cellular level. Excess melanin production can create dark spots and signs of aging. That’s why we created a range of skincare that treats, protects, and nourishes your skin.
Looking to protect and nourish your skin? Start your day with MELÉ Smooth Pore Minimizing Serum. The lightweight, mattifying face serum visibly reduces pore size and rebalances oil throughout the day to prevent shine and enlarged pores. This face serum includes pore blur technology, tri-peptide, and rose hips extract to help visibly decrease pore size, reduce excess oil, and reveal glowing skin.
Apply to your face in the morning after cleansing. This serum can also be used as a primer in your skin care routine.
At a biological level, melanin rich skin is unique. We’ve worked with scientists, dermatologists, influencers, and consumers of color to develop skincare that starts with the science of melanin rich skin. We are MELÉ. And we see you.

I absolutely love this product! My pores look non existent and my face feels smooth I use it before I put on my make up and it makes for a great primer. My makeup looks so much better when i put it on The smell can be a little strong so if you’re sensitive two perfumes I definitely wouldn’t suggest it but if you can get past it it doesn’t stick around very long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This helped blur my pores. My skin looks very smooth when applied. It does have a strong floral scent so those with sensitivities may be bothered by it but I was fine. I do have dry skin so this actually added moisture to my skin.
Helps to blur pores but...

The smell is horrible. Smells like a very strong floral/musky perfume. It did help blur my pores but I just couldn’t get past the smell. Besides that, the product seems like a good primer…if you can stand the fragrance.
It works!

Has a perfume scent which at first bothered me but doesn’t last long. The results are great....large pores are minimized and skin has a smooth result...works well under makeup. A bit pricey but worth every penny!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My face is incredibly smooth and feels very hydrated. I use this after washing my face and leave my face a little wet, then apply my Moisturizer. I also use it as a primer. It's a great product. I will definitely continue using it.

I don’t usually leave reviews because I always get a new product and then I’m let down. But THIS!!! I have tried everything on my skin for dark spots/hyperpigmentation. EVERYTHING! This product is absolutely divine. My skin is so smooth and my dark spots have faded 80%. Everyday my skin looks better and better. I am so much more confident and I’m in awe everytime I look in the mirror. I say this not to sound vain, I’m just so appreciative. I have struggled with my skin through my 20’s and 30’s. Now I’m 40 with the skin I always wanted. My first bottle was only half full and I rushed out to buy another. Afraid that it will “go away” lol. Thank you to the team of docs that created this “potion”. Melè saved my skin.

This product has given me great moisture, given how my face can transition from oily to dry depending on products. My skin is semi sensitive and this product I can trust to replace any moisture that was lost. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Tried the Meleskincare SMOOTH Pore minimizing serum and liked it. Comes in a very cute package and love that it’s a dropper so you don’t have to touch the product. Very easy to use just need to apply in the morning after cleansing. A plus is that it can also double as a primer for makeup. The product made my pores a bit smaller and evens skin tone. It does have a bit of a strong smell for me but does go away after a few minutes. Overall pretty good product. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is an excellent serum it works well on brown skin. I enjoy that you can wear alone and working well with my moisturizing cream. This serum reduces the appearance of my pores and it doesn't leave any residue of oil and it's not sticky at all. I will make this apart of my daily routine.

I usually use this if I put on makeup. I find it a great product to use under my moisturizer as once applied on your face, you will noticeably feel that your skin is much more smoother than before. It also helps control the oiliness on my T-zone that's why putting on makeup is so much easier! Highly recommended! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I am not exactly sure what this was for at first. It was a little difficult to figure out how to open the bottle for use, but once I did it was easy as pie. It was okay, a little messy but it was not bad. I'm not sure if I would use it again [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

It does every as advertised. It's made for people of color. Can be worn alone or with a light moisturizer if you have combination skin. No streaks and absorbs quickly. Works very well with my skin. I was excited to use. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This serum was similar to others I've bought at the drugstore, in that they don't quite provide that seamless smooth airbrush look but they are easy to apply and do provide moisture to your skin. Perhaps the product just takes longer to affect my skin to take it to the pro product level, but overall it does add smoothness under makeup which is nice.
