Mary Kay unveils whitening system

The Mary Kay MelaCEP Whitening System has been formulated specifically for Asian skin to help neutralize the elements that leave your skin tone looking uneven and lifeless. It combines the science of innovation with the power of nature to target the multiple reasons for uneven skin tone.

Working together, these advanced products protect against UV damage, help keep cells from producing melanin (the brown pigment that becomes visible on the surface of the skin), help inhibit the transfer of melanin to the skin’s surface, and help increase skin turnover to reveal smoother and brighter skin.
