I hv been using the premium essence for 4 months. Yes, it does what it claims 👍 It reduces my acne scars, dark spots etc a lot. It is also brighten up my complexion. I combine this essence with Hada Labo Vita serum, so effective
Following using riceberry face serum by litttleextrra for three weeks, here's what I experienced: Benefits: It effectively softens and evens out the skin, giving it a subtle glow. I've also noticed a decrease in my genetic dark circles (avoiding the eye area is recommended). It has also helped diminish dark spots on my sister's skin. Drawbacks: Personally, I have dry and dull skin, and using the serum every day exacerbated my dryness. I advise using it three times weekly along with a effective moisturizer to avoid dryness. I haven't seen any noticeable improvement in tanning or pigmentation issues in first 3 weeks. Update 2 months later: After nearly two months of regular use, I consider it my holy grail serum. It began showing positive outcomes. My skin is glowing, dark circles lessened, and dark spots faded a lot. So patience is key when using this face serum.
I like to use vitamin C serum in my everyday skincare, so I chose the Riceberry Vitamin C serum. This serum is of high quality, lightweight and non-greasy and non-sticky. After using it, it gives me a radiant and fair complexion and aids in reducing dark spots, over time improving their appearance in my skin.
I've tried the brightening essence. Helps to fade my sun spots but not so much on my acne marks. Can't wait to try the premium one! Thanks for sharing Dr Ingky!
I have been using this Vitamin C essence with pure Vitamin C for years because it was the most good and affordable one I can find on shelves in Singapore. So happy that you are affirming this on your video. Thank you doc!
I’ve been using the original brightening essence for awhile before I became sensitive to it and started itching. I suspect it is because of the fragrance because the rest of my skincare does not contain it. I wish they would come up with an unscented version because I love everything else about it!!
But my skin breakout after using it..i have used it for 4 days and now i have acne😭can you tell me if its happening to adjust my skin or should i stop using it?
Hi Doc. I'm interested in trying this product. I have a few questions though: 1. Is this an essence or a serum? If I use this, do I still need to apply vit C serum aferward? Are there any good vit C serums that you recommend to use with this essence? Can I use ANY vit C serums? 2. Since it's a vit C product, do I have to store it in the fridge like most other vit C serums? 3. Can I use it in the evening before applying my retinoids? Would it be too irritative on my skin if I combine both in my skincare routine?
It's an essence. A little drop of it goes a long way. Store it in a cool and dark area. Never use a vitamin c product with a retinoid, your skin will get irritated. Use retinoid at night then apply vitamin c in the morning.
I am freaked cause I have only used this for 2 days and I got a lot of sunspots fade!! Only the dark ones remain and they have lightened up. Too good to be true! I am waiting for the catch lol
I am in japan and bought melano cc premium for dark spots. I used it like two days as a spot treatment at night and moisturized. I got some pimples on my face .. I don’t have an actual idea why was that ? usually my skin type is acne prone skin, oily Is it safe to use this particular product??
I am so happy that I have donki and mitsukiyo stores in my country. I never tried the melano cc essence and lotion, but the face mask. The first time I tried it, it had that technology that deeply penetrates into the skin. I love it so much! But I can feel it sting my skin so much. I was kind of freaking out. My skin is so beautiful after using Japanese products. But I also use grapeseed oil as well, vitamin c serums, and dove soap for my face.
The actually do make it I believe. Hada Labo Rohto Vitamin C physical sunscreen. Although people like Gothamista did not really like it, it may be exactly what you need ❤
Love all your videos Dr Inky! I have only used the original vitamin C essence, but now I will go and buy the premium version to try. So informative. Thank you. Could you do a video on your top recommended oil free moisturizer?
Hey, i know this comment is old, but I just came across this video. Do you mind sharing which cream this is? Summer is the bane of my combo skin, so I'm looking for things that don't make me oilier...
@@Netjerett melano cc creamhas 2 types,cream type is silver packaging and the serum type which is a little sticky,moist type is yellowish packaging.. there is also a yellow jar type which is gel type of cream which I think is much more good for your skin type.. If only I could send images of rhe products😂 just search for it in google.. hope this helps❤
New Orleans Thank you for your video. We enjoy watching and so informative. I was looking for a good vitamin c to brighten dark spots. Can you let us know your thoughts on Niacinimide vs Hyaluronic acid? We sure would appreciate it. Thanks again!
sir how about effective sun screen available in japan can you recommend some?there’s too many in the market im confused which one is really effective hoping for your response sir thank you❤
I have the premium one but I'm not sure how to layer it correctly with niacinamide (the ordinary) and/or Hyaluronic acid (hada labo). Because I've read vitamin c should be first but then the texturr seems more appropriate to use niacinamide first.
@@elleinetv4739 is better to use vitamin c in the morning, because it also helps a bit with sun protection, along with sunscreen ofc. Epiduo is for use in the night.
Hi everyone may I know normally how long should I wait for the vitamin c serum to dry before applying moisturizer? Cuz vitamin c serum seem quite hard to dry...after a while I still can see it on my skin and I don't know if I should apply moisturizer already that time...
Hello Doctor, I'm having tiny bump and redness skin. It is good for me to use tea tree cleanser, 2% salicylic acid serum and moisturizer contain vitamin c? I have a combination skin. Hope to hear from you soon 🤗
Try hada labo gokujyun foaming wash paired with gokujyun hyaluronic acid lotion. I have combination skin and I’ve struggled with the same problem for years. These were the only 2 products that helped me with it along iunik tea tree serum! Best serum I’ve tried for tiny bumps on skin!
@@firefly3007 Can you suggest some Vitamin c serum? Cause this serum has fragrance which may breakout my skin as I also have closed comedones. I just can't deal with this shit. I'm using a salicylic acid and tea tree based cleanser and a light moisturiser still I can’t deal with them. Those scars are just making me crazy. So can you please please suggest any vitamin c serum which is suitable?
Cleanser is ok I wouldn’t do vitamin C and salicylic in the same day tho. I’d go to dermatologist to see about what you need IRL less is more if u have a lot of bumps and texture.
But my skin breakout after using it..i have used it for 4 days and now i have acne😭can you tell me if its happening to adjust my skin or should i stop using it?

They both have fragrance ....so it's a big big NO NO for me....unfortunately! My quastine is: Why is it a necessity to add more fragrance since it contains lemon fruit extract???
Hello Doc. Is this Premium Vitamin C suitable for men skin? Or you recommend better to use the Rohto Vitamin C MEN that just launched the brand? These are the ingredients of the MEN version: Active ingredients: Ascorbic acid (active vitamin C), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B 6 ), salicylic acid, isopropylmethylphenol Other ingredients Vitamin C Tetraisopalmitate, Vitamin E, Alpinia castor oil seed extract, Serine, BG, 1,3-Propanediol, 3-Methyl-1,3-Butanediol, PG,PEG-8, DPG, Absolute ethanol, Pyro Na sulfite, POE hydrogenated castor oil, fragrance
Just so you know, the "men" label on skincare products are just gimmick and marketing strategy. Skincare product has no gender. What you should be looking and focusing on is the ingredients that is suitable for your skin type not the for "men" label.
This comment deserves to be pinned! Also, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (aka ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) is the most stable form of Vitamin C, and works synergistically with Vitamin E, and ferulic acid. It is also fat soluble, meaning it can penetrate deeper layers of the skin and address hyperpigmentation more effectively. But, this is quite expensive to manufacture so these products are at the end of the price range. If you guys are looking for products containing tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, I recommend looking into Paula's Choice because many of their products contain it. CEO Riley also has a Vitamin C line which has it, and is an established cult favorite.
Doesn't the concentration matters more? (In vitamin c serums) breylee vitamin c have high concentration but I am just worried about the made in china / low price perception.
Works on my skin. But take about 3 months for the best result. Consistently use morning and night routine. ❤ Love Japan product. Take times but its okay. Safe 💯
