What it is

How to use

• Preparation: Reconstitute the vial with bacteriostatic water according to the vial instructions. Typical mixing guidance from the manufacturer: 1 ml / 2 ml / 3 ml of water correspond to smaller graduated injection volumes — follow labelling for exact measures.
• Administration: Melanotan II is administered subcutaneously with an insulin syringe. Start with a low test dose to assess tolerance and increase gradually as advised by a professional.
• AM (daytime): If you will be exposed to sunlight or UV, apply broad-spectrum SPF to exposed areas before going outside and reapply as needed.
• PM (evening): Rotate injection sites and check skin for any unusual changes. Allow the injection site to heal naturally; keep the area clean and dry.

Typical dosing examples provided by the manufacturer: for males, 1 mg injections (up to 10 injections per 10 mg vial) and for females, 0.5 mg injections (up to 20 injections per 10 mg vial). Loading and maintenance schedules vary; consult a qualified practitioner before beginning a regimen.

Why it works

• Melanotan II (active peptide) — interacts with melanocortin receptors to encourage melanin production in melanocytes, which can lead to a darker skin tone for some users.
• Melanin response — increased pigment production may deepen existing pigmentation; individual response depends on baseline skin type and other factors.
• Adjunctive UV exposure — limited sun or controlled UV exposure is commonly used alongside peptide protocols to develop and stabilise a tan, but sun protection remains important.

What to expect

• Some users report gradual darkening of the skin within 1–3 weeks of consistent use; timing varies by individual and exposure to UV.
• Common early effects reported include nausea or flushing for some people—these often lessen with dose adjustments.
• Monitor freckles and moles for changes in colour or size; seek medical advice if you notice irregular changes.

Good to know

• Perform a patch test and start with a low dose to assess tolerance.
• Do not use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or have uncontrolled medical conditions without medical clearance.
• Avoid excessive UV exposure and do not rely on this product as sun protection; always use SPF when outdoors.
• Stop use and consult a healthcare professional if irritation, severe nausea, or unexpected skin changes occur.
