Intensive
Pigment correction rinse-off cream for stubborn patches.
Cysteamine · IBAMeet Cyspera
Born from science. Guided by humanity.
Cyspera is the skincare brand of Scientis, a Swiss laboratory in Geneva. One question has guided our work from the start: why does pigmentation keep coming back?
01 · Geneva
A Swiss laboratory built around one cell.
Scientis was born in Geneva from research on pigment cells. That work led to the melanocyte, the cell that makes pigment, and to a molecule nobody had managed to keep stable on the skin.

FirstTo stabilize cysteamine for use on the skin
PatentedThe cysteamine complex at the heart of every correction step
02 · 1966
A promise.
Researchers notice that cysteamine, a molecule the body already makes, can lighten pigment.
Cysteamine · C₂H₇NS · 77.15 g/mol
02 · 1966 to 2010
Then decades of silence.
In a cream, cysteamine oxidizes within days and gives off a strong smell. Nobody can use it, so the finding stays in the lab.
02 · 2010
Scientis makes it stable.
In Geneva, our team finds a way to keep cysteamine stable on the skin. It becomes the first stabilized cysteamine for skincare.
02 · 2015
Then tested, double blind.
The first randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study of a stabilized cysteamine 5% cream is published on melasma.
03 · Why the melanocyte
Pigmentation starts in one cell. So did we.
Melanocytes make the pigment that colors your skin and pass it to the cells above. Triggers and low grade inflammation can keep them switched on long after the cause has gone. That is why pigmentation comes back.

16 weeksA full correction cycle, said upfront
04 · A multi-pathway approach
Three molecules, one protocol.
Cysteamine
The correction step, on the skin. It works where pigment is made, at several steps, and it is the molecule our story started with.
In Intensive and Sensitive · C₂H₇NS
Isobionic-Amide (IBA)
Our answer to inflammaging. It soothes the skin, helps reduce redness and restores its resilience, so the correction holds.
In Intensive, Sensitive and Ageless · Schematic, not a chemical structure
TyroCutin™
The oral step. It works from within and supports luminosity across the whole body, not only where you apply a cream.
In Total Skin · Schematic, not a chemical structure
05 · From the lab to your routine
Not only products, but a complete protocol.
Each product has one role. Used together and in the right order, they work on pigmentation from the skin and from within.
Sensitive
The same correction step, for skin that reacts easily.
Cysteamine · IBA
Ageless
Skin resilience face cream for the days in between.

Total Skin
Dietary supplement, the oral step of every protocol.

clinics worldwide work with Cyspera.
Dermatologists in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States use our protocols in their practice, and they stay the first people we listen to.
08 · The name
Spera means a ray of light.
Our mission is simple: restore balance, reveal luminosity, and bring confidence back to skin. We don't mask pigmentation, we correct it at the source.
Correct, don't cover
We work on the cell that makes the pigment, not on the shade it leaves behind.
Every skin tone
Melanin-rich skin is where pigmentation is most common and least served. It is our starting point.
Honest timelines
A real correction takes sixteen weeks. We say it upfront.
Built with doctors
Our protocols come from dermatologists' practice.
Where light meets science.
