Alpinia Katsumadai Seed Extract

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

 Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and non-phototoxic an anti-inflammatory agent. For this, it is used to treat chronic dermatitis (meaning skin allery problem, like eczema) 

Packaging 

If you look closely at the packaging. All the information were written in Japanese and only a sticker in English for the little information 

Nozzle : To ensure an airtight packaging so as to prevent oxidation of the sensitive Vitamin C serum 

Tinted aluminium tube: Vitamin C is untable and photosentisitve (sensitive to sunlight)

Texture : 

It is a transparent oil form. From my reading here, most of the Vitamin C serum in the market is yellow in colour. In this way, you can't find if the vitamin C has been oxidised or not. (It turns yellow upon oxidation)

Lightweight 

It seems oily  when you first apply it (Which reminds me of essential oil, haha ), but it goes well and absorbs quicky. Then the citrus scent is pleasant and does not cause any allergy reaction on my oily skin too. 

In short, if you have oily or mixed oily skin, looking for a serum.essence to lighten your pimple marks , acne mark. You should try on Melano CC Premium Brightening Essence 

This is the so far the very affordable Vitamin C serum in the market that you should try on!
