f you’re a regular user of Cosmelan 2 by Mesoestetic, you might have noticed that sometimes the texture, color, or scent of the cream seems a little different from your last jar. As a skincare professional, I get this question very often in my store, and I completely understand the concern—especially with how popular (and often counterfeited) Cosmelan is. So let’s clear up the confusion.
Is It Normal for Cosmelan 2 to Look or Feel Different?
Yes, it is completely normal.
Cosmelan 2 is a complex formulation that contains active ingredients like kojic acid, phytic acid, retinyl palmitate, and others, which can be sensitive to temperature, light, and oxygen. Because of this, small variations in color (from beige to slightly darker tones) or consistency (from thick to creamier textures) can occur between batches—even when it's the exact same authentic product.
These variations happen for several reasons:
1. Natural Ingredient Behavior
Some of the ingredients used in Cosmelan 2 are naturally unstable in appearance but remain completely effective. Slight shifts in color or scent can happen depending on how long ago the product was manufactured, and even slight changes in storage temperature during transit.
2. Batch-to-Batch Manufacturing
Just like in the pharmaceutical and skincare industries, small changes between production batches are expected. Mesoestetic manufactures its products in Spain under strict pharmaceutical standards, but that doesn’t eliminate minor variations in non-active components, which may influence appearance.
3. Packaging & Air Exposure
Once the jar is opened and exposed to air and light, the cream may gradually darken or thicken slightly over time. This doesn’t affect its potency as long as the product is used within the recommended period after opening.
Is My Cosmelan 2 Still Authentic?
If you’re buying from an authorized retailer, clinic, or professional skincare provider—like our store—you can rest assured your Cosmelan 2 is 100% authentic. We source directly from Mesoestetic or their authorized distributors to ensure genuine, safe, and effective products.
