I'm using it diligently with high hopes, really putting in the effort!

Did you know that in everyday life, fluorescent lights, phone screens, and other light sources can cause dark spots? I've noticed them slowly creeping up around my eyes.

The cream has a white texture, isn't heavy, and leaves your skin feeling moisturized and fresh! It's suitable for use all year round.

Clinical tests show results in just two weeks of use!

The spatula is a bit small, I guess? That's about the only drawback. It's slightly inconvenient to scoop out with your fingers.

- Texture and formula: It's rich yet applies smoothly, which I love. It's even hydrating! I'm satisfied using it both morning and night. 
- Scent: I appreciate that there's no artificial fragrance, yet it doesn't have that typical chemical smell of cosmetics. It's close to unscented, making it pleasant to use without any off-putting odor.

I can't think of any negatives!
I'll need to use it more consistently to fully assess its effectiveness.

I'm grateful to have been selected as one of The Hwahae Testers to write this review!

The lightweight formula made for a pleasant application experience. It's perfect for combination dehydrated skin! 
The subtle fragrance contributed to an overall satisfying product.
What really impressed me was the inclusion of a mini spatula in the packaging... These little details made such a difference. This is my first time using a Banobagi product, and it's left a great first impression of the brand.

For me, it might be a bit light for winter use, so I think I'll use it in the mornings or mix it with a bit of oil when applying.

It might be a bit low on oil content, but that's just a characteristic of the product... It's not really a drawback. From a consumer perspective, it would be nice if they could lower the price a bit... Especially since there are many products with good ingredients available at lower prices these days...

This cream has a subtle fragrance and comes in a gel-like texture. Being a gel, it applies smoothly and absorbs well into the skin. It's not too rich, making it perfect for use during late summer and early fall like now. After the summer sun exposure, I've noticed more blemishes, so I'm diligently using this hoping for some positive effects. It's hard to expect dramatic brightening results after just a few days of use... Anyway, it feels great when I wash my face in the morning after applying it at night - my skin feels soft and nice. The ingredients are gentle, and I love how it feels when applied, its absorption, and how refreshing it is. I received this as part of The Hwahae Testers, and I'm definitely considering purchasing it!

When it comes to good skincare, don't hold back. Since it absorbs well without leaving an oily feeling, you can apply it generously.

The container design requires scooping out the product, but the lightweight texture makes me want to squeeze it out directly. I wish it came in a pump bottle like a serum or had a squeeze tube for easier application.

Unlike many products for dark spots that can feel thick or greasy, this one absorbs smoothly without residue. It's slightly heavier than a hydrating moisturizer, but overall feels light on the skin.

I thought it absorbed well, but it doesn't seem to work with my current sunscreen. When I apply cushion foundation on top, it tends to pill

Texture: A soft cream that's not too thick
Scent: Barely noticeable, very subtle fragrance
Application: Spreads easily and absorbs lightly without sitting on top of the skin
Effectiveness: Brightening effects are gradual, so it's difficult to see immediate results

So far, I haven't found any drawbacks while using this product! I'll update if I notice anything in the future.

This product is truly a game-changer! I've noticed a significant improvement in my complexion after applying it generously before bed. My skin looks incredibly clear in the morning! As a result, I've been feeling more confident with my bare face lately. I've always struggled with sunspots and freckles due to not wearing sunscreen regularly, and while they haven't disappeared completely, I believe consistent use of this product will lead to further improvements. I'm committed to making it a part of my daily routine. Despite the changing seasons causing dryness and potential skin issues, I'm happy to report that my skin hasn't had any adverse reactions. The cream absorbs well, and I appreciate its subtle, almost undetectable scent. I'm so satisfied with the cream that I've decided to purchase the serum as well. I'm excited to see the synergistic effects of using both products together!

There's nothing bad to say... except that I wish I had discovered this product sooner. That's my only regret.

The packaging is incredibly neat. It's the first time I've seen a cream sample presented so cleanly on paper, which I absolutely love. I used to think that brightening creams for dark spots and blemishes were drying, but this product is not like that at all. It has a thick, starchy texture that feels deeply nourishing. At first, it seemed like a soothing cream, but its absorption is quite different. The balance between hydration and richness is just perfect. While there hasn't been a dramatically miraculous effect on dark spots and blemishes yet, I can feel them becoming less noticeable, and I believe it will only get better with continued use.

Personally, I felt it was slightly lacking in hydration, so I think it works better when used together with a more moisturizing emulsion or cream!

As someone with combination dehydrated skin who doesn't like greasy formulas, I'm really satisfied with how comfortable and fresh this feels on my skin without being burdensome. After using it for about two weeks, I'm loving the results! There's this subtle brightening effect on my complexion the next day... it's quite remarkable! Personally, I'm not a fan of soothing gels that leave a tight feeling after application, but this one feels like a soothing gel with about 20% cream mixed in. So the application is pleasant without any uncomfortable tightness. It leans more towards a soothing gel texture, but I really enjoy the cool, hydrating sensation when first applying it. I've used it without any blemishes appearing! The packaging is very sleek and clean. They even included a separate spoon, which was a nice touch when I received it. While I need to use it more consistently to see long-term effects, I've noticed my complexion seems noticeably improved on mornings after I've applied it, so I'm eager to keep using it!

In the morning, I used the serum and cream.
At night, I used the serum, emulsion, and cream.

When I first used it, I experienced some tingling and blemishes appeared, but they subsided by the next day!
There's a bit of an adjustment period needed.

Skin type: Dry

I usually don't use gel-type creams because my skin is dry, but the Mela Clear cream is quite moisturizing!
The texture is rich and bouncy, so even after applying serum, just using this cream doesn't leave my skin feeling dry at all.
As I'm entering my mid-30s, I was worried about my complexion and dark spots becoming more noticeable. I think it's great to use this proactively for prevention!

Due to its refreshing feel, it works well as a spot treatment cream for targeting melasma.

For extremely dry skin, the moisturizing longevity may be insufficient to serve as the final cream step in a skincare routine.

Verified through 8 clinical trials, including 3 types of melasma reduction tests (7 facial areas, over 5 years old, and deepening inner layers), this product is proven effective not only for brightening but also safe for sensitive skin. It contains alpha-arbutin, a natural brightening ingredient that powerfully inhibits melanin production and can be used day and night. The formula is concentrated with soothing and hydrating ingredients, making it non-irritating even for atopic (hypersensitive) skin. The lightweight, non-sticky emulsion-like texture applies smoothly and absorbs quickly.
