Description
Powerful day cream with cysteamine for melasma and hyperpigmentation
Persistent melasma and deep pigmentation require a day cream that not only hydrates but also actively slows melanin production. When a regular moisturizer does not deliver sufficient results and you want an intensive cream without hydroquinone, the DermaQuest cysteamine cream offers the most advanced solution.
This DermaQuest cysteamine cream combines three percent cysteamine complex with more than fifteen additional brightening ingredients in one hydrating formula. The cream reduces existing pigmentation, prevents new discoloration and protects the skin barrier against oxidative stress, leaving the skin visibly more even-toned and radiant.
Benefits
- Reduces persistent pigmentation and melasma with three percent cysteamine
- Prevents the formation of new discoloration through multiple tyrosinase inhibitors
- Hydrates the skin and strengthens the skin barrier during pigmentation correction
- Protects skin cells against oxidative stress with ergothioneine
- Combines a day cream and intensive pigmentation treatment in one step
Active ingredients
Cysteamine Complex (NV Cysteamine 15, three percent): A natural cellular component and metabolite of L-cysteine that slows melanin production on multiple levels. Cysteamine acts both as an intracellular antioxidant and as a tyrosinase inhibitor and has been clinically studied for the treatment of melasma. The stabilized complex form ensures gradual release and better skin tolerance in a moisturizer formula.
THD Ascorbate (BV-OSC, oil-soluble vitamin C): A photostable form of vitamin C that penetrates deep into the skin. Helps reverse visible signs of photoaging, slows melanin production and stimulates collagen production for a firmer skin structure.
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate: A stabilized form of kojic acid derived from fermented rice. Inhibits tyrosinase activity and is particularly effective for established discoloration without placing stress on the skin barrier.
ChromaBright (Dimethylmethoxy Chromanyl Palmitate): A patented brightener that selectively inhibits the production of excess melanin. Clinically studied for brightening persistent pigmentation.
Hexylresorcinol: A multifunctional pigmentation corrector that both inhibits melanin production and fades existing pigmentation. Works synergistically with kojic acid and cysteamine.
Shiitake Mushroom Extract (Lentinus Edodes): A natural tyrosinase inhibitor that slows the formation of new pigmentation and provides the skin with valuable antioxidants.
Madonna lily plant stem cells (Lilium Candidum): Plant stem cells that support the skin’s natural renewal process and contribute to a visibly brighter complexion.
Ergothioneine: One of the most powerful intracellular antioxidants in modern skincare. Protects skin cells against oxidative stress and helps combat premature aging, with anti-inflammatory properties that make it ideal for use alongside cysteamine.
Bakuchiol: A plant-based alternative to retinol derived from the Babchi plant. Stimulates cell renewal and softens fine lines, with significantly less risk of irritation or photosensitivity.
Peptides (Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-36 & Nonapeptide-1): Signal peptides that support the skin structure and improve elasticity. Enhance the rejuvenating effect of pigmentation correction.
Bearberry & Mulberry extract (Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi & Morus Alba): Plant-based sources of arbutin that gently slow melanin production and are rich in antioxidants that protect and brighten the skin.
Licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra): Contains glabridin, an ingredient that calms tyrosinase activity and reduces inflammation that can intensify pigmentation.
Hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): Binds moisture in the upper layers of the skin and creates soft, plumped skin without making the moisturizer feel heavy.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between this cream and the version without cysteamine?
The version with cysteamine contains three percent cysteamine complex in addition to all the brightening ingredients in the standard MelaQuest Cream. Cysteamine has been clinically proven to be more than one and a half times more effective than prescription hydroquinone and is recommended for persistent melasma. For milder pigmentation or sensitive skin, the version without cysteamine is more suitable.
How do I combine this cream with the MelaQuest Cysteamine Serum?
For maximum results, use both products together. Apply the serum first to cleansed skin, let it absorb completely and finish with the cream. The combination provides a total of seven percent cysteamine, distributed across two penetration levels.
How long does it take to see results?
Initial improvements in radiance are often noticeable after two to four weeks. Visible reduction of pigmentation generally requires six weeks of consistent use, while optimal results are achieved after eight to sixteen weeks of consistent use combined with daily sun protection.
Does this cream have a distinctive scent?
Cysteamine naturally has a characteristic odor. In the cream base, this is largely masked by fragrance and other ingredients, but the scent may remain slightly noticeable during application.
Can I use this product during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Cysteamine is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always consult your doctor or midwife before using this product during these periods.
