PRODUCT DETAILS

Hello, brighter-looking skin. Alpha-5 Mela Care Cream is a face cream created for dullness and the appearance of dark spots, post-acne marks and uneven tone. It brings focused spot care into the familiar cream step, with room for all-over use or extra attention where you want it.

At the heart of the formula is 5% alpha-arbutin, with niacinamide and glycerin also declared. The cream supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion while maintaining hydration, keeping visible tone and moisture in the same conversation.

This is more than a dab-on spot option. All-over cream use with optional targeted layering gives you one flexible format for visible marks, dullness and hydration. It keeps those priorities together in a straightforward cream.
