I've been using this in the mornings. I don't have dry or oily skin, but I find it lacking in my skin tone in the winter. It's cheap and I can use it generously, so I plan to keep using it. I'm not sure about the whitening effect (this applies to the Melano CC series in general).
The citrus scent is soothing, it spreads easily and blends into the skin easily. I've only just started using it, so I don't know how effective it is on blemishes and freckles, but it's inexpensive and not too heavy, so I recommend it to people who don't like sticky products!
I use it together with the lotion. I keep buying it.

I use this product in conjunction with Melano CC lotion. I was looking for something affordable that would prevent dark spots. Someone recommended it on social media, so I decided to give it a try. The lotion has just the right thickness and spreads easily, so I massage it into my face, neck, and décolleté as well. I only use it at night since I started using it, and I haven't had any more dark spots, so I think it's working as advertised to prevent them. I plan to buy it again.
