Brief Answer: bleaching agents Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for the query. There is no method to totally destroy melanin. However bleaching agents like hydroquinone can be used to reduce melanin and lighten colour. If you want to remove or reduce hair from face, it can be done by electrolysis. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you
