Celimax built this cream for the butterfly zone across the cheeks and nose, where dark spots, blemish marks and dull, darkened pores tend to gather. It brightens and moisturizes at once, so it can be the last step of your routine, morning and night.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Niacinamide

    Vitamin B3, third on the list. It fades the look of dark spots and evens out a dull, uneven tone.

    No. 3 of 46 on the list

  • Tranexamic acid

    Right behind it at #4. A brightening ingredient that targets stubborn spots and blemish marks.

    No. 4 of 46 on the list

  • Melazero V2

    Celimax’s brightening complex of loquat leaf and spearmint, added to help with melanin care.

    No. 29, 36 of 46 on the list

  • Ceramides + macadamia

    Barrier lipids and a nourishing nut oil that keep this brightening cream moisturizing, not drying.

    No. 8, 25, 33 of 46 on the list

  • False daisy
  • Goldthread root
  • Cocoa

Good to know

  • Celimax says the formula resists discoloration, so it can be used during the day. Wear sunscreen on top in the morning, since sun exposure darkens spots.
  • Celimax completed a primary irritation test on sensitive skin.
  • Celimax pairs it with the Pore + Dark Spot Brightening Serum from the same line.
  • Comes in a 35 mL tube.
