What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Niacinamide

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

    No. 4 of 31 on the list

  • Tranexamic acid

    Right behind it at #5. A brightening ingredient that targets stubborn spots and blemish marks.

    No. 5 of 31 on the list

  • Melazero V2

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

    No. 20, 25 of 31 on the list

  • Soothing + moisture

    Glycerin and hyaluronic acid hydrate, and bisabolol from chamomile helps keep the skin calm.

    No. 2, 29, 30 of 31 on the list

Supporting botanicals

  • Loquat leaf
  • Spearmint
  • Vitamin E

How to use

After toner, morning and night

  1. 1

    Prep

    Cleanse, then apply your toner or toner pad.

  2. 2

    Pump

    Dispense one to two pumps of the clear, dense serum.

  3. 3

    Spread

    Spread it over the face and let it absorb before your cream.

  4. 4

    Protect

    In the morning, finish with sunscreen, since sun exposure darkens spots.

Three brightening ingredients in one serum, for steady, everyday care of dark spots and dull pores.

Good to know

  • Fragrance-free. Celimax says the texture is dense rather than watery and does not pill or feel sticky.
  • Celimax says the formula is stabilized to resist discoloration, and that it completed a primary irritation test on sensitive skin.
  • Celimax pairs it with the Pore + Dark Spot pads and cream from the same line.
  • Comes in a 30 mL pump bottle.
