MelanSol® SPF 8 / 18 and Dark
Tanning Lotion – Experience Report
I have been a Dermatologist in Zurich, Switzerland, for 30 years. During
this time, the
amount of skincare patients with basal cell skin cancer, melanoma and
pre-cancer states has
increased notably. Alarming is that now kids and teenagers are showing up
with this
diagnosis.
In 2006, I was introduced to MelanSol®. For the following reasons, I
became interested:
• The potent antioxidants Bio-Melanin, Green Tea and
Vitamin E offer an
innovative protection for the skin against aging and skin cancer.
• The formula is biodegradable
• MelanSol® uses no chemical UV filters
To my knowledge, MelanSol® is the first sunscreen-lotion with these
antioxidants. For that
reason, I agreed to test it with and on my patients.
I have provided over 1000 bottles of MelanSol® SPF-8, SPF-18 and Dark
Tanning Lotion to
my patients. Feedback considering sunburn is very positive. Examples of
use were mountains
above 6000 feet and visits to Australia, Brazil and the Seychelles.
MelanSol® is very comfortable, easy to disperse on the skin and, although
it contains zinc
oxide as a filter in the form of a mineral pigment, it doesn’t leave a
white coating. The smell
is loved by some and detested by others. After several applications
though, it becomes
accepted.
Using MelanSol® on very hyperkeratonic or not well peeled skin, especially
with the Dark
Tanning Lotion, but also the 8 and 18, causes a slight abrasion in the
form of little pieces of
skin which can easily be wiped off with a Kleenex. With daily use, this
effect becomes less
to none. I see about 10 patients a day with skin cancer in the facial
region. To all of my
patients with sun-damaged skin or already broken out cancer, and patients
with a baldhead, I
recommend the use of MelanSol® 8 or 18, when there is very strong
sun-radiation. With less
radiation I recommend the Dark Tanning Lotion, instead of a regular
moisturizer.
Dark Tanning Lotion in my opinion is a very nourishing anti-aging lotion
with the innovative
component of quicker tanning thorough L-Tyrosine. Patients who tan easily
and quickly in
summer do love it. Patients with very pale skin and less possibility of
tanning do not profit as
much from the Dark Tanning Lotion.
For more than a year, I personally use MelanSol® as my daily moisturizer
and am totally
convinced by the product. A lot of my patients use it with the same
affection.
Sincerely,
