Melasma is not a fully understood disorder, since there is still no cure, so, Based on a literature review, this article intends to investigate the possible causes of melasma, identifying the characteristics of each type, as well as understanding how the use of actives and plant extracts used in phytocosmetic formulations can contribute to the treatment and which ones have the more favorable effect to reduce spots, providing a better quality of life. Since there is a growing demand for well-being and health care, relying on the advancement of science for the most diverse clinical and aesthetic conditions. as well as understanding how the use of actives and plant extracts used in phytocosmetic formulations can contribute to the treatment and which ones have the most favorable effect to reduce stains, providing a better quality of life.
