Melano CC Medical Brightening Gel 100g

Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Gel 100g is a Vitamin C all-in-one gel moisturiser for oily and combination skin with dullness and uneven tone — the lightest moisturising texture in the Melano CC skincare range, providing brightening Vitamin C derivative alongside skin-smoothing and hydrating ingredients in a quick-absorbing, non-greasy gel base. It replaces a separate emulsion and cream step for skin types that find richer textures too heavy.

• Vitamin C Derivative — maintains brightening continuity as the final skincare step in the Melano CC routine
• Vitamin E Derivative — antioxidant support that synergises with Vitamin C for clearer-looking skin
• Alpinia White Extract — brightening botanical supporting a more radiant, refreshed complexion
• Hydration support ingredients — provide balanced moisture without the heaviness of an emollient cream
• Lightweight gel texture — absorbs rapidly with no stickiness, suitable for humid or warm conditions
• 100g — generous size for daily face-and-neck use; larger than the Milk Lotion reflecting its use as a standalone moisturiser

How it works: The gel format uses a water-dominant polymer base rather than an oil-water emulsion — this creates faster absorption and a drier, less emollient finish than the Milk Lotion. For oily skin, this means no risk of the heaviness that triggers midday shine or pore congestion. The Vitamin C derivative functions identically to the Milk Lotion version but in a carrier that suits oily skin's tolerance for texture.

Brightening Gel vs Milk Lotion for the Melano CC routine: The Gel suits oily, combination, or normal-oily skin and warmer months where lighter textures are preferable. The Milk Lotion suits normal-dry or dry skin that needs the oil-water emollient layer to prevent moisture loss throughout the day. The brightening actives in both are comparable — the choice is texture-driven based on skin type, not efficacy.

Known in Japan as メラノCC 薬用しみ対策美白ジェル 100g.
