Most brightening cleansers rely on strong surfactants that can leave skin feeling dry and sensitive. AHC Niacin Biome Mela Scissors Cleansing Foam is designed to target dullness and visible discolouration while maintaining comfort, so skin feels clean, soft and refreshed after every wash.

Niacinamide and AHC’s Niacin Biome concept work together to support a more uniform-looking complexion and reinforce the skin’s barrier. Bacillus ferment, Aspergillus ferment and enzyme ingredients help to gently refine the appearance of dead surface cells, while rice and wheat extracts contribute to a smoother, clearer look. Ceramide NP and cholesterol help replenish essential lipids to keep skin feeling resilient.

This cleanser transforms with water into a dense, cushiony foam that reaches into creases and along the sides of the nose. The formula rinses away cleanly without a filmy residue, leaving skin feeling supple rather than squeaky. With regular use, the complexion appears clearer, more balanced and less visibly fatigued.

Use it as a daily cleanser, morning and evening, to remove impurities, sweat and excess sebum. For heavier sunscreen and base makeup, apply as the second step after an oil or balm cleanser. Massage thoroughly to maximise contact time with areas of visible dullness or uneven tone.

Amino-acid and coconut-derived surfactants provide effective cleansing with a lower risk of dryness or tightness.Niacinamide and ferments target the appearance of dullness, uneven tone and visible pigmentation marks.Ceramide NP and cholesterol support the skin’s lipid matrix to help preserve barrier function during cleansing.Enzyme-inspired complex works on the surface to promote smoother-feeling skin with continued use.

For a targeted routine, follow with a niacinamide or brightening essence, then a hydrating serum and a barrier-supporting cream. In the daytime, complete your routine with broad-spectrum sunscreen to help maintain the benefits of the cleanser on visible discolouration.

Pro Tips

• Work the cleanser into a rich foam in your hands before touching the face to maximise cushioning and reduce friction.
• Use cool to lukewarm water, as very hot water can compromise the skin’s barrier and increase dryness.
• Leave the foam on for a short moment over areas of visible discolouration to increase contact time before rinsing.
• Follow immediately with hydrating skincare while skin is slightly damp to help lock in moisture.
