Our Ingredients
Melano CC products are formulated to be at their most effective to lighten acne
marks, fight dark spots and minimize pores.
Vitamin C(L-Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C is great for our health and immunity, even as a skincare ingredient! But not all vitamin Cs are created equal. Pure vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, but is highly unstable and oxidises easily. This can lead to irritation and redness. Melano CC uses a stable form of vitamin C that stays effective longer. High penetration technology lets it reach melanocytes deep within the skin. There, it works to fight melanin, lighten pimple marks, fight dark spots and minimize pores.
Vitamin E
(Tocopheryl Acetate)
This vitamin E derivative pairs with vitamin C to soften, hydrate and boost circulation for bright, even skin.
Alpinia Seed
Extract
Extracts from Alpinia katsumadai in the ginger family work to brighten and even skin tone.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate
This anti-inflammatory extract from licorice roots soothes redness, calms irritation and restores skin’s natural suppleness.
