Product Information
Full details
The Melumé Skinscience Calm Balm is designed for adults seeking to soothe and restore dry, flaky, or irritated skin. Its key benefit is providing instant comfort and enhancing skin barrier function through rich, velvety hydration. A potential consideration is that its concentrated formula may feel heavy for those with very oily skin types. This nourishing balm utilizes multi-lamellar ceramides and skin-identical lipids to fortify the skin's natural barrier, boosting moisture retention and delivering essential skin lipids for a calm, balanced, and radiant complexion.

FAQs
How often should I use the Melumé Skinscience Calm Balm?
You can use the balm as needed to address dry or irritated areas. For consistent barrier support, applying once or twice daily after cleansing and before other treatments can be beneficial.
Can this balm be used on the face?
Yes, it can be used on the face, especially for dry or irritated patches. However, due to its rich nature, individuals with oily or acne-prone facial skin should use it sparingly and focus on areas that truly need hydration.
What does 'skin-identical lipid concentrate' mean?
It means the balm contains lipids (fats) that are naturally found in healthy skin, such as ceramides and cholesterol. These help to replenish the skin's natural barrier and improve its ability to retain moisture.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the balm is formulated with 91% natural reparative active ingredients and aims to calm irritation and redness, making it generally suitable for sensitive skin. However, as with any new product, a patch test is recommended.
How does this balm help with hyperpigmentation?
While the balm's primary function is to soothe and restore the skin barrier, improved skin health and barrier function can indirectly lead to a more even skin tone and a reduction in the appearance of hyperpigmentation over time as the skin heals and becomes healthier.
What is the best way to store the Calm Balm?
Store the balm in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use.
Can I use this balm with other skincare products?
Yes, the balm can be incorporated into your routine. It is typically applied after cleansing and toning, and before or after serums. If using other heavy creams, apply the balm first to dry areas, then follow with your regular moisturizer if needed.
Troubleshooting
Balm feels too heavy or greasy
Reduce the amount of balm used. Ensure you are warming it sufficiently between your palms before application to achieve a thinner, more spreadable consistency.
Skin feels sticky after application
You may have used too much product. Try applying a smaller amount and gently patting it into the skin rather than rubbing extensively.
No noticeable improvement in dryness after a week
Ensure consistent daily application as per instructions. If using on areas with compromised skin, allow time for barrier repair. Consider if other factors in your routine might be counteracting the balm's effects.
Product texture has changed
This may be due to improper storage conditions (e.g., extreme heat). Store in a cool, dry place. If the change is significant or accompanied by an unusual odor, discontinue use.
