Dr.Althea Melaclear Cream 20ml is a targeted Korean brightening cream for dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven tone. Its working trio is tranexamic acid, niacinamide, and alpha-arbutin, three actives that each block a different step of how skin makes extra pigment. Licorice root water sits second in the formula, with ceramide NP and three forms of hyaluronic acid keeping treated skin calm and hydrated. The ointment-style cream melts into a light, non-sticky layer, worn on spots twice a day or spread thicker as an overnight mask. One honest note: brighteners work in weeks, not days, and without daily sunscreen the spots come straight back.
