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 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 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’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?
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.
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.
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 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??
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 ❤
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.
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?

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.

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.
This is already a Vitamin C serum. Don’t use this with retinol. Both are active and will lead you to irritation.

sir what Japanese mild gentle cleansers would you recommend for combination skin I am 15 years old and I am struggling with pores and acne
