About the guide

Your skin deserved a guide made for it.

Conventional dermatology long overlooked what makes melanin-rich skin different. This guide fills that gap with a rigorous, documented approach built for your reality.

  • Analysis of the needs of Fitzpatrick types IV to VI
  • Protocols supported by peer-reviewed publications
  • Targeted actives: AHA, niacinamide, vitamin C, retinol, SPF
  • No generalities — every recommendation is put in context
  • Written by Dr. Mel, public health professional

"The science of melanin-rich skin is not a sub-genre — it is a discipline in its own right."
