Brightening cleanser against pigment spots and photo damage
Uneven skin tone, dark spots, and sun damage often start at the very first step of your routine. When a cleanser is too harsh, irritation can occur that actually intensifies pigmentation. A mild, targeted cleansing is therefore essential for those working towards a more even skin.
The DermaQuest MelaQuest Facial Cleanser combines sulfate-free cleansing with powerful antioxidants and pigment-regulating ingredients. The foam removes impurities and makeup without drying out the skin barrier, while active components like shiitake extract and lipid-soluble vitamin C prepare the skin for the next steps in the MelaQuest routine.
Benefits
- Evens out skin tone and reduces the visibility of pigment spots
- Protects the skin against free radicals and environmental damage
- Cleanses thoroughly without disturbing the natural moisture balance
- Soothes visible redness and irritation thanks to plant extracts
- Suitable as the first step in a professional anti-pigmentation routine
Active ingredients
THD Ascorbate (lipid-soluble vitamin C): A photo-stable and highly skin-absorbable form of vitamin C. This variant penetrates deeper than classic vitamin C and helps reverse visible signs of photoaging while preventing future sun damage and supporting collagen production.
Shiitake Mushroom Extract (Lentinus Edodes): A natural tyrosinase inhibitor that blocks the enzyme responsible for melanin production. This reduces the formation of new pigment spots and visibly evens out the existing skin tone.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Attracts and retains moisture in the upper skin layers. This ingredient prevents the skin from feeling tight or dry after cleansing and supports the natural repair of the skin barrier.
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea Extract): A powerful polyphenol-rich antioxidant that protects the skin against free radicals and UV-induced damage. Helps soothe inflammation and enhances the effect of vitamin C in the same formula.
Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile extract): Soothes the skin and reduces visible signs of irritation. A valuable ingredient for those working with potent products like tyrosinase inhibitors, as it supports skin tolerance.
Aloë Barbadensis (Aloe vera): Hydrates and soothes the skin during cleansing and provides a pleasant, soft finish without a tight feeling.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this cleanser daily?
Yes, the MelaQuest Facial Cleanser is suitable for both morning and evening use. Thanks to the sulfate-free formula, the skin barrier remains intact with daily use.
Does this cleanser work even if I don’t have visible pigmentation spots?
Certainly. The antioxidants in the formula, such as vitamin C and green tea, also help prevent future pigmentation and skin aging. The product is suitable for anyone who wants to keep an even skin tone.
Can I combine this product with other active products like retinol or AHA?
Yes. Because a cleanser only stays on the skin briefly, the chance of interaction with other active ingredients is minimal. The mild formula actually makes it a good base for routines with retinol or acids.
Does this product contain hydroquinone?
No, the MelaQuest collection works without hydroquinone. The pigment-regulating effect comes from plant-based tyrosinase inhibitors such as shiitake extract, combined with lipid-soluble vitamin C.
