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

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!
ConsIt 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...
TipFor 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.

My skin is super sensitive, and usually reacts with redness and itching when products don't suit me. However, this cream seems to have gentle ingredients as I've been using it without any irritation. The cream has a translucent, clear appearance, but it's not at all stiff. It's incredibly soft, absorbs beautifully, and feels wonderfully hydrating. I've tried various functional creams for age spots from different brands, but Banobagi's product is by far the best in terms of hydration and moisture. After application, it gives a sort of 'Inner Glow' effect, which I absolutely love. I think I would use this cream even if it didn't have any specific benefits for age spots, just for its moisturizing properties alone. Typically, I apply all my skincare products from toner to essence, give them time to absorb, and then apply this cream before bed. By morning, my skin still feels hydrated. Seeing my skin become more radiant, I believe that with long-term use, it could significantly improve my complexion and help with blemishes.
ConsI honestly couldn't find any downsides to this product. That's why I'm planning to repurchase it once I've used it all up.
TipIf it really does improve skin tone and blemishes, I think it would be great to buy the entire product line for an intensive skincare routine.

Luckily, Hwahae held a wonderful event that I was able to participate in. Thank you so much! 1. Bouncy application & Powdery finish The Banobagi Mela Clear Cream has a rich texture like other brightening moisturizers, but with one big difference - it finishes with a powdery feel! It applies with a bouncy texture that feels deeply nourishing, yet doesn't feel heavy. The soft, velvety finish is so pleasant! 2. Gentle ingredients I loved the initial impression of this cream - it's gentle and fragrance-free. What impressed me even more was that I didn't experience any blemishes throughout its use. I'm prone to small bumps occasionally, but this product didn't clog my pores or feel overly heavy, so I could use it comfortably without any irritation or congestion.
ConsFor those with dry skin, this might be challenging to use alone in winter! It would be perfect when paired with a serum.
TipIf you have skin that tends to feel hot or prone to small bumps, try cooling the product before application. This way, you can achieve both soothing and brightening effects simultaneously. Keep this tip in mind!

Absorption: I had a preconception that jar-type products were thick, but this cream had an emulsion-like texture that wasn't heavy at all! It absorbed into my skin really well, so I was most satisfied with how it applied. Hydration: As someone with dry skin who doesn't prefer sticky or heavy creams, I loved how this felt incredibly moisturizing yet lightweight. Ingredients: The ingredients were excellent, and I even applied it around my eyes without any stinging or tingling! What I loved most was how hydrating it was - I slathered on a generous amount before bed, and I woke up with glowing skin and no blemishes!
ConsI'm not sure about its brightening effects. I was more satisfied with its moisturizing properties than its brightening ones.

Despite not being an ultra-light formula, it applies smoothly and absorbs well without leaving any greasy residue. Over the past month, I've been working outdoors under intense sunlight, which led to some blemishes and dark spots. However, after using this cream generously every night for two weeks as part of my skincare routine, people around me have noticed a brighter complexion. I'm thrilled with the results! While older dark spots still need more time, I saw improvements on newer areas of discoloration. I'm usually picky about strongly scented products, but this one has a subtle, pleasant fragrance that I prefer over unscented options that can smell medicinal. I'm considering recommending this to my mother, who uses stronger products for her dark spots. This gentler option might be better for her skin's overall health.
ConsHaving been used to tube packaging for most of my products, I find the jar and spatula slightly inconvenient. It requires consistent attention to maintain hygiene during use.
TipSo far, I haven't experienced any dryness using this as a final step in my routine. However, as the weather gets cooler and drier, it might be beneficial to layer a richer cream on top of this one for nighttime use.

I dislike strong fragrances, so the lack of scent allows me to use it comfortably. - Hydration and Absorption With the cold season approaching, my skin was getting quite dry. I've been using this as a moisturizer, and it's been great! It's not too heavy, absorbs well without feeling suffocating, so I use it without worry in the evenings. It also applies smoothly - I haven't experienced any pilling so far! - Brightening Effect While it's marketed as a spot treatment cream, I've only been using it for less than two weeks, so I can't speak to its definitive effects yet. However, after applying this product, I do notice my complexion looks brighter and more radiant! I have a feeling that with consistent use, it might show some promising results.
ConsNothing negative to report yet! However, since I've only been using it for a short time, I'll need to observe a bit longer to determine if it truly has a significant effect on dark spots.

If you have super dry skin like me, I recommend either ensuring your skin is well-hydrated with your skincare routine before applying cream in the evening, or using this alongside other hydrating products!! - After using it for a few days, while it didn't dramatically whiten my skin, I definitely noticed my face looked brighter when I looked in the mirror!! - I appreciated that the scent wasn't overpowering or irritating.
ConsUnfortunately, due to my highly sensitive skin, I experienced some blemishes and couldn't use it for two weeks. However, this was due to my skin sensitivity, and I was still very satisfied with the product overall!! I wish the spatula could fit snugly into the lid for easy storage!

The texture feels hydrating, and its moisturizing power is excellent. I have a lot of dark spots and blemishes on my face, and although I've only been using it in the evenings for two weeks, which is a short period, I haven't noticed any significant changes yet. However, my overall complexion seems to have brightened! The subtle fragrance is comforting. It comes with a spatula, but personally, I found it a bit of a hassle to use, so I just applied it with my hands, which worked well for me. It suited my sensitive skin without causing any blemishes.
ConsAfter using it for two weeks, I haven't found any disappointing aspects yet!
TipI'm hoping for a synergistic effect when used together with a dark spot essence!

It's almost fragrance-free, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin. The included spatula is a great touch, allowing for hygienic application despite its jar packaging. The lightweight texture makes it easy to control the amount and absorbs well. I love how quickly it absorbs, leaving the skin feeling hydrated without any sticky residue, and with a nice matte finish.
ConsWhile it feels moisturizing, the hydration level isn't quite enough for winter use.
TipThis product seems perfect for daily use, especially during the summer months!
