How we score →Score withheld
All 2 takes here are sponsored by the brand. With no independent take to weigh, there is not enough to publish a verified score. The takes are below, each labeled.
What the gurus are saying
Niacinamide and tranexamic acid team up to visibly fade dark spots and discoloration, with the rare addition of melasyl blocking one key step in pigment production. These ingredients also strengthen your barrier, reduce shine, and shrink pores, though anyone sensitive to niacinamide may want to patch-test first. If you tolerate niacinamide, the cream works equally well as a standalone moisturizer or layered under another.
