Nothing you have to guess at. The full ingredient list is one tap below.

Why does it keep coming back?

Melasma isn't a dark spot. It's a switch.
Your skin keeps making the colour. Sun flicks the switch. So does heat, like a hot shower or the stove. So do your hormones. That's why it's darker every summer and came back when you stopped the cream. It's not you. Revella is built around this one mechanism, not general hyperpigmentation, because melasma doesn't behave like an ordinary dark spot.

What makes this different from everything else I've tried?

It's built for melasma specifically, not for hyperpigmentation in general.
Most of what's out there is made to fade a one-time mark. Melasma isn't that. It's colour your skin keeps making every time sun, heat or hormones flick the switch. Revella's combination and concentrations are chosen around that one mechanism, to quiet the signal that tells your skin to make more colour and slow the colour it's already making. That's why we don't ask you to take our word for it. Give it 12 weeks and judge it with your own photos.

Will it make my skin worse?

Start slow. Stop any day.
You stay in control from day one. Followed that way, Revella won't make your skin worse. If a laser, peel or harsh cream ever left you darker, you'll want that control before anything else.

What's actually in it, and what does each part do?

Every ingredient has one job: stopping the switch.

Alpha-Arbutin 7%

Slows how much dark colour your skin makes, so the patches you have fade as your skin renews.

Tranexamic Acid 4%

Quiets the signals that tell your skin to make more colour when the sun or heat hits it.

Niacinamide

Keeps the colour that does get made from reaching the skin you see, and strengthens your barrier.

Glutathione

Fights the sun and heat stress that keeps melasma active, and helps new colour form lighter. Gentle enough for every day, so it fades what's there and keeps it from coming back.

Will this work with what I'm already using?

It's made to fit into what you already do, not replace it.
Coming off hydroquinone or already using tretinoin? Check with your prescriber, then patch test before you start. Using the pill or HRT? Revella is made to be used alongside it. Already using something like Eucerin? You don't need to give it up to try this, just introduce Revella slowly and watch how your skin responds. Apply a thin layer to clean skin and let it settle before your SPF or makeup; if you find it pills, use it at night instead.

Real Women. Real Melasma. Twelve Weeks On.

Going out without concealer. Talking without wondering if they're looking at it.

I Gave It 12 Weeks. The Shadow On My Lip Is Lighter.

"I'd been through six serums and every one did nothing, so I took a photo on day one and wouldn't let myself decide until week 12. My upper lip is lighter. Not gone, but lighter, and the photos don't lie."

Dana Verified Customer

Upper Lip12 Weeks

It Always Came Back By August. Not This Summer.

"Hydroquinone cleared my cheeks every time, and every time I had to stop, it was back within weeks. I've used this daily through a hot summer and it hasn't switched back on. My photos back me up."

Marisol Verified Customer

After A Laser Backfired, This Was Gentle Enough To Trust.

"A laser left me darker, so I was terrified to try anything. Revella felt gentle from the first day, and I could've stopped any time. Twelve weeks on there's been no stinging and no redness, and my cheeks look calmer."

Gentle FormulaNo Irritation

I Went Out Without Concealer.

"It came with the pill and got darker every summer. I never left the house without concealer on my lip and cheeks. At week 12 I went out for milk with nothing on and nobody looked twice. I'm still on my pill."

How It Actually Works

  1. WEEKS 1–2

    · Your Skin Settles In

    Take photo one before your first use. Alpha-arbutin starts slowing new dark colour, tranexamic acid starts quieting the signals that make more, and niacinamide supports your barrier Your skin feels calm. Nothing raw, nothing peeling. You’ve started something without bracing for damage.

  2. WEEKS 3–4

    · The First Sign

    Less new colour is being made, and your skin starts shedding some of what’s already there. Take photo two, same light. The darkest edge of a patch may look a little softer. Not gone, but better than last time, not worse. Not seeing it yet? That’s normal. Week 4 is a first look, not a verdict.

  3. WEEKS 5–8

    · Covering It Takes Less

    Each time your skin renews, it carries less colour to the surface, so one trigger costs you less than it used to. Patches may look lighter, and foundation, concealer and corrector become foundation and a dab of concealer. Take photo three at week 8 and compare it to week 0.

  4. WEEKS 9–12

    Faded, And Staying That Way

    The patches keep fading into the skin around them. Even, not lighter: your skin still looks like yours. Take photo four and line up all four, same light. If it hasn’t done its job, the guarantee covers the whole window. With SPF alongside, Revella keeps slowing the colour and quieting the signals, so it keeps it from coming back.

The Four-Step Calm Routine

Sun and heat flick the switch. Four steps keep you in control.

1Gentle Enough To Trust

If a laser or harsh cream ever left you darker, start with a dab on your inner arm. You're in control.

2Start Slow

Ease in and build up gently. There's no prize for rushing, and you can stop any day.

3Use Daily

Once your skin has settled, a thin layer every day. It's gentle enough to stay on, and that's the point.

4SPF Morning

Sun flicks the switch, and Revella doesn't replace sunscreen. Finish every morning with SPF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it strong enough without a prescription?

Two jobs in one cream you can stay on. Alpha-arbutin 7% slows how much colour your skin makes. Tranexamic acid 4% quiets the signals that tell it to make more. Use it alongside your pill or HRT. Coming off hydroquinone? Check with your prescriber first.

How long until I see a difference?

Judge it at 12 weeks. Melasma is slow, and we won't promise a speed we can't prove. Take photo one before you start, check in at week 4 and week 8, and compare all four at week 12. Sunscreen every morning throughout.

Does it work on my skin tone?

Melasma isn't picky, so test yours. Melasma shows up on every skin tone, and Revella is made for it. A patch test shows how your skin takes it, and your week 0 and week 12 photos show whether it's working for you.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You're covered for the whole test. Use it as directed for 12 weeks and take your own photos. If it hasn't done its job, or your skin didn't take to it, send it back, opened or unopened, for a full refund.
