Melano CC Premium Vitamin C Essence 20ml is an intensive brightening serum for oily and combination skin with persistent dark spots, stubborn post-acne marks, and sebum-related texture issues — containing four types of Vitamin C including pure L-Ascorbic Acid plus three derivatives that provide a sustained, multi-stage release of brightening activity throughout the day. It is the more potent option within the Melano CC range, designed for pigmentation that has not responded adequately to the standard Essence.
How it works: The four Vitamin C types in the Premium formula address different stages of the brightening cycle. L-Ascorbic Acid acts immediately on tyrosinase and existing melanin. The three derivatives release more gradually, maintaining brightening activity as L-Ascorbic Acid is metabolised — creating a longer effective window per application. Vitamin B6 addresses the sebum-driven acne cycle that generates new marks, while Allantoin supports faster healing of existing inflammation.
Premium vs Standard Melano CC Essence: The standard 20ml Essence is the correct starting point for mild pigmentation, preventive use, or skin new to active Vitamin C. The Premium is for skin that has already used the standard version without sufficient improvement, skin with multiple simultaneous concerns (spots plus oiliness plus texture), or dark spots that have been present for more than 3–6 months. Both come in the same 20ml aluminium tube format.
Known in Japan as メラノCC プレミアム美容液 20ml.
