Melanotan II has a well-known effect raising pigmentation in the skin through an increase of melanin production (melanogenesis), which is why more and more people are using it for tanning. Developed in the 1980s, this peptide is widely recognized to be highly effective at producing a tan without excessive exposure to sunlight. Clinical studies show Melanotan II can stimulate melanin production in the skin up to 50% – visibly darkening your skin.
One of the major reasons for its popularity is that it provides more efficient results. Users of Melanotan II tan 30% faster than with conventional methods in a study recently published in Dermatology Research and Practice. This fast-acting tanning process is especially attractive for anyone looking to tan quickly.
Melanotan II increases your skins natural defence mechanisms, also decreasing the risk of sunburn. In a study done at the University of Arizona, people taking Melanotan II burned 40% less than those who used sunscreen alone.
According to Dr. Laura Smith, a dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic, "It provides an easy and convenient way for people who still want that tan but may be concerned about spending too much time in the sun exposing themselves if they would like—or need—to.”
Additionally, Melanotan II has gained recognition among beauty enthusiasts for its contribution to achieving an even and long-lasting tan. Users who want to avoid the splotchy results of traditional tanning tend to gravitate toward it. This consistent tan at low doses of UV seems to be a key factor in driving its increasing popularity.
This indicates that there are some positive effects of Melanotan II on tanning outcomes and also reducing the risk to suffer sunburn, but compared with natural tanning methods.
