Frequently asked questions

Is Noscarna good for old scars?

Noscarna works best on scars less than a year old, including acne marks and post-surgery scars. For older scars results are slower and consistent use for 8 to 12 weeks is recommended.

What is the difference between Melatoning and Melanosa?

Both target pigmentation. Melanosa is the stronger of the two and suits stubborn spots; Melatoning is the gentler everyday option. Check the ingredient list for your market's regulations before use.

Are these the same products sold in Korean pharmacies?

Yes. LMCHING imports genuine Dong-A Pharm products from authorised Korean suppliers and ships them worldwide from Hong Kong.
