Dr. Althea Melaclear Cream Review
Melaclear Cream is a targeted dark spot treatment designed to help fade discoloration, improve uneven skin tone, and restore a brighter, clearer-looking complexion.
Formulated with Tranexamic Acid, Alpha-Arbutin, and Niacinamide, this cream helps fade the look of dark spots, acne marks, and uneven tone for a clearer, brighter complexion. Ceramide NP supports the skin barrier to keep skin hydrated, smooth, and healthy-looking.
This ointment-style cream melts into a lightweight cream-to-serum texture, delivering concentrated brightening care and hydration, and can be layered at night as an intensive brightening sleep mask.
Benefits:
- Improves uneven skin tone
- Helps fade dark spots & acne marks
- Spot treatment or overnight mask
Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, 1,2-hexanediol, Alpha-arbutin, Coco-caprylate/caprate, Diethoxyethyl Succinate, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp Copolymer, Propanediol, Acrylates/c10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexylglycerin, Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Root Extract, Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract, Hydrolyzed Malt Extract, Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Linolenic Acid, Plumeria Rubra Flower Extract, Ceramide Np, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Dna, Solanum Lycopersicum (tomato) Fruit Extract.
Overall Assessment: If you have any discoloration from sun damage or acne scarring, this is worthy of your consideration, but only after you have had your doctor evaluate your skin to make sure those impacted areas do not need to be treated by your doctor, rather than a skincare product.$29.00 for 0.70 oz. from Dr. Althea, Amazon, YesStyle and Style Korean (Affiliate Links).
