What they liked

  • Niacinamide and tranexamic acid for brightening
  • Helps with oil control and pore appearance

What they flagged

    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    Niacinamide and tranexamic acid team up to visibly fade dark spots and discoloration, with the rare addition of melasyl blocking one key step in pigment production. These ingredients also strengthen your barrier, reduce shine, and shrink pores, though anyone sensitive to niacinamide may want to patch-test first. If you tolerate niacinamide, the cream works equally well as a standalone moisturizer or layered under another.

    "This has some familiar ingredients that we know to be working: niacinamide, tranexamic acid, ceramide, all at effective and perfect concentrations. It also has this ingredient melasyl, which helps inhibit melanosome transfer, one of the pigment-making steps that very few ingredients touch. Super lightweight lotion. It's great for anyone with dark spots. Easy to incorporate into routine."

    "The Pore and Dark Spot Brightening Cream from Celimax is really, really good. This was actually one of my surprise favorites for the year. [...] What I loved about this is that it has niacinamide and tranexamic acid, two highly proven ingredients when it comes to tackling hyperpigmentation. But the formula is so gentle. It's a really thick, luscious cream. So you could layer it under a moisturizer, but I think standalone it could function as a moisturizer as well. Rubs in beautifully."
