4. Product Overview

celimax Pore+Dark Spot Brightening Cream combines brightening ingredients with moisturizing and skin-barrier-supporting components to address the appearance of uneven tone and visible pores.

The formula features 5% niacinamide, which helps improve the appearance of discoloration and supports the skin barrier, and 5% tranexamic acid, which helps target the appearance of dark spots. The brand also highlights 1% Melazero V2 as part of its triple blemish-care approach.

Glycerin, betaine and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid help hydrate the skin, while ceramides and cholesterol support the skin barrier. Adenosine and tocopherol complement the formula with skin-conditioning and antioxidant properties.

With consistent use, this cream may help improve the appearance of uneven tone and dark spots. Results vary, and persistent pigmentation may require additional treatment. Daily sunscreen use is essential to help prevent UV exposure from worsening discoloration.

5. How to Use

1. Cleanse your face and apply toner and serum, if desired.
2. Take an appropriate amount of cream.
3. Apply evenly over the face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
4. Gently spread and pat until absorbed.
5. Use morning and evening as tolerated.
6. In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.

If you have sensitive skin, introduce the cream gradually and monitor your skin’s response.

6. How Not to Use

• Do not apply to broken, irritated or severely compromised skin.
• Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
• Do not introduce several new brightening products at the same time if your skin is sensitive.
• Do not skip sunscreen when treating dark spots or uneven pigmentation.
• Discontinue use if persistent redness, itching, swelling or irritation develops.

7. Who Can Use

• People concerned about dark spots and uneven skin tone.
• Those with post-acne marks or discoloration.
• People looking for a brightening moisturizer that also provides hydration.
• Those seeking to improve the appearance of visible pores.
• Normal, dry, combination and some oily skin types.

People with very oily or congestion-prone skin should begin with a small amount because the formula contains emollients, including macadamia seed oil. Sensitive skin should be patch-tested before regular use.
