Melano CC incorporates a lot of vitamin C in their products. High concentrations of vitamin C have proven to have efficacy. Not only does it help to combat pimples, but it also helps to lighten dark spots and pimples marks! Besides that, it also helps reduce the size of large pores to reveal radiant and fair skin that is visible! Thus, you can achieve skin that is healthy and glows with confidence!

The Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Essence contains 100% pure vitamin C and is the no 1 whitening essence in Japan! Combined with vitamin E, this essence helps even out your skin tone, brightens your skin and is also suitable for all skin types. Using this essence has the benefit to help soothe redness as well as lighten acne marks. Its packaging stands out from Melano CC’s other products because instead of being all bright and yellow, it features a mostly silver tube. Only the cap is yellow which could symbolise the sunshine that lights up your dull skin! 

The Benefits 

When using this product, you can also choose to use it on your whole face, or just as a spot treatment. Since the vitamin C in its formula is pure, it also has the benefit to help combat premature ageing and free radicals. This is because it acts as an antioxidant to keep our skin youthful and supple! 

Along with the vitamin E present, it helps prevent dehydration by retaining the skin’s moisture. This brightening essence is also great for those with oily and acne-prone skin! This is because it has the benefit to help regulate the production of sebum, while also reducing inflammation. 

The packaging itself is also sealed air-tight to prevent the exposure of the product to light and oxygen. Thus, it protects the product from oxidation. Even though the ingredient lists some fragrances, it isn’t really strong! So, you can’t really smell anything. However, this essence has a texture that is a bit oily and on the thicker side. But, it somehow spreads easily despite its thickness and is actually quite light!

Even though it felt oily at first, the product absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn’t leave a residue that feels sticky. This a great product to use in the morning, but remember to apply some sunscreen too before you leave the house!
