Warnings / Cautions

• For external use only
• Always wear sunscreen during the day when using brightening actives
• Patch test on the inner forearm before first full-face use — especially if you have sensitive skin
• If irritation, redness, or stinging occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use
• Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water
• Store away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place

How to Use

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly and follow your usual toner/serum routine.
2. Take a pea-sized amount of cream onto your fingertips.
3. Spread evenly across your face and neck — focus on the "butterfly zone" (cheeks and around the nose) where dark spots and pores tend to concentrate.
4. Pat lightly with your palms to help the cream absorb fully into the skin.
5. AM: Always finish your morning routine with sunscreen — it's essential for any brightening regimen to actually work.
6. Pro tip: The night before an important event, apply a thicker layer as an overnight sleeping pack for an extra boost of brightness.

Important Note

Brightening is a marathon, not a sprint. With consistent daily use, most users notice visibly more even skin tone and softer pores within 4 weeks. Sunscreen is non-negotiable — UV exposure undoes the work of even the best brightening actives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long before I see results?
With consistent twice-daily use, most people start seeing a more even, brighter complexion in 3–4 weeks. Stubborn dark spots and melasma may take 8–12 weeks of consistent use plus daily SPF.

Q: Is this safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. The formula is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free, and has passed primary irritation testing for sensitive skin. We still recommend a patch test before first use.

Q: Can I use this with retinol or vitamin C serums?
Yes. Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid pair well with both. We recommend layering vitamin C in the AM and retinol in the PM, with this cream as your final hydrating step.

Q: Will it work for melasma and PIH (dark marks from acne)?
Tranexamic Acid is one of the most respected ingredients globally for melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Combined with 5% Niacinamide, this cream is well-suited for both — though melasma in particular requires patience and strict daily SPF.

Q: Do I need a separate moisturizer with this?
No. The cream is formulated with 5 types of Ceramides, Cholesterol, and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid — it works as a complete moisturizer on its own. If your skin is very dry, you can layer a heavier cream on top at night.

Q: Is this safe to use in summer / will it cause sun sensitivity?
The actives are not photosensitizing, so it's safe to use year-round including Indian summers. However, always finish your morning routine with broad-spectrum SPF — without it, brightening progress will reverse.

Q: Is this product authentic?
100% authentic. Sourced through authorized Indian distribution of Celimax (made in South Korea).

Q: Can men use this?
Absolutely. Skincare actives don't have a gender — anyone dealing with dark spots, dull skin, or uneven tone will benefit.
