Pore and Dark Spot Brightening Cream.

"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. And if you are not sensitive to niacinamide, it is fantastic because niacinamide not only strengthens your skin barrier, it not only brightens your skin, it also helps you with oil control and shrinking your pores. Using a product that tackles so many issues that one person might face in a single product was really a nice thing for me to see."

"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."
