Melanotan Peptide 10 Mg
R450.00
Melanotan helps enhance your natural skin pigmentation by stimulating melanin production. This process promotes a gradual, sun-kissed tan while reducing the need for prolonged sun exposure. It can also help protect the skin from UV damage and may support a more even, longer-lasting complexion.
Also known as Afamelanotide.

Suggested Titration Schedule*
- (For adults wishing to gradually test their tolerance.)
- Days 1–3: 0.25 mg (0.05 ml) subcutaneously once a day.
- Days 4–7: 0.5 mg (0.1 ml) once a day.
- Weeks 2–3: 1.0 mg (0.2 ml) once a day or every other day.
- Maintenance: Many users find 0.5–1.0 mg a few times per week is enough to maintain results.
*These figures are based on common community practice, not on medical guidelines. Individual needs and tolerance differ.
- Always store reconstituted vials refrigerated. (Not in the freezer);
- Store between 2–8 °C/36–46 °F;
- This is a synthetic peptide. Peptides are unstable at room temperature. It should be refrigerated once reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water) and ideally even when in powder form. Some sources recommend freezing the lyophilized powder for long-term storage (up to 24 months).
Melanotan works by mimicking the body’s natural alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
- Binds to melanocortin receptors in skin cells, triggering the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color.
- As melanin levels increase, the skin darkens naturally over time.
- Works synergistically with mild UV exposure to develop and maintain the desired tan.
This process results in a gradual, controlled tan that looks natural and lasts longer than traditional tanning methods.
Caveats and Safety
- Mild side effects such as flushing, nausea, or slight darkening of moles or freckles may occur in some users.
- Always use measured doses and avoid excessive UV exposure during initial use.
- Results may vary depending on skin tone, dosage, and exposure levels.
- Use only high-quality peptides from trusted suppliers such as Peptide Labs South Africa.
- Always follow proper handling and storage instructions for best results and safety.
Usage Guidelines for Best Results
To achieve the best tanning results with Melanotan, consistency and proper usage are key.
- Begin with a loading phase: use small, consistent doses daily until a base tan develops.
- Transition into a maintenance phase once you’ve achieved your desired color, applying smaller doses a few times per week.
- Combine Melanotan with short, sensible sun exposure or controlled UV sessions to activate melanin production more effectively.
- Avoid overexposure, as your skin still needs time to adapt to the increased pigmentation.
- Stay hydrated and protect your skin with a quality SPF, especially in the South African sun.
Tips for Proper Use and Storage
- Use sterile technique when preparing or injecting Melanotan.
- Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, upper arm) to prevent irritation.
- Store the peptide refrigerated, away from light and heat.
- Pair with a balanced skincare routine and adequate sun protection for best results.
- For long-term tanning, continue maintenance doses consistently each week.
