Melano CC is famous for its anti-blemish treatment, but this one comes in a large, easy-to-use bottle! The smooth texture blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving it feeling less sticky. Its high moisturizing power makes it ideal for the dry seasons, providing long-lasting moisture. Its medicinal ingredients promise anti-blemish and whitening effects, and even my sensitive skin didn't experience any irritation. A small amount is enough to achieve the desired effect, making it a great value. The subtle scent makes it suitable for daily use. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, and I recommend it to anyone concerned about blemishes and whitening. I'm considering repurchasing it!
If you're looking for effectiveness, this is definitely the one! Everyone says the smell is bad or that it's too refreshing, but the effects are amazing, so I recommend it. If you're concerned about dryness, you can just layer on an oil or thick cream, and when I tried using it as an all-in-one, I really noticed a reduction in blemishes, firmer skin, and a clearer complexion. This is the first time I've ever experienced something so cheap yet so effective, and if you understand the refreshing texture, I think you'll only need this one bottle for the rest of your life. I'm currently on my sixth repurchase. I wish the manufacturer wouldn't change the ingredients!
I have dry skin, so I tried this in January, but it dried my skin out immediately after application, so it didn't work. It might be good in the summer. I like the citrus scent.
It's generous and the whole family uses it. Applying it twice makes it quite moisturizing.
