DR. ALTHEA: Melaclear Cream

✨ Key ingredients (why it works)

• Tranexamic acid (TXA) – helps reduce melasma and pigmentation
• Niacinamide – brightens skin and evens tone
• Alpha arbutin – targets dark spots
• Hyaluronic acid + ceramides – hydrate and protect skin barrier

These ingredients work together to reduce excess melanin and improve overall clarity.

💡 What it’s good for

• Dark spots / hyperpigmentation
• Acne scars (post-acne marks)
• Uneven or dull skin tone
• Sensitive skin (formula is gentle and soothing)

🧪 Texture & usage

• Lightweight, absorbs quickly (not greasy)
• Can be used:
  • As a spot treatment
  • Or all over face
• Works both morning and night

⚖️ Does it actually work?

• It’s effective for mild to moderate pigmentation
• Results are usually gradual (2–8 weeks with consistent use)
• It’s gentler than strong treatments (like hydroquinone or retinoids), so safer but slower

⚠️ Things to keep in mind

• You must use sunscreen daily, or dark spots won’t fade
• Won’t remove very deep pigmentation instantly
• Works best as part of a routine (cleanser + moisturizer + SPF)

👍 Who should use it

• If you want a gentle brightening cream
• If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin
• If you prefer K-beauty style skincare (hydrating + gradual results)
