Unlike single-vitamin-C serums, this formula combines pure Ascorbic Acid with three stable derivatives — covering both immediate brightening action and long-term tone correction. The precision dropper tube protects the active ingredients from air and oxidation.

Vitamin C does not protect against UV damage on its own — it works best as part of a routine that includes sunscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it oxidise quickly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminium precision dropper tube is specifically designed to protect the formula from air and light, which extends shelf life compared to open-topped bottles. Still, store it away from heat and sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for sensitive skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt contains pure Ascorbic Acid, which can feel slightly tingly on sensitive skin. Start with once-daily evening use and monitor your skin's response before increasing frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the medicated (quasi-drug) classification?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japan, quasi-drugs (医薬部外品) are regulated between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The active whitening ingredients — including Ascorbic Acid — must be approved and present at effective concentrations. This means the product is held to a stricter standard than ordinary cosmetics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rohto Melano CC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46621129474223,"sku":"4987241190010","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7561\/5151\/files\/TsujimotoMarket_ProductPhotoTemplate1080x1080_2.jpg?v=1772937176","url":"https:\/\/tsujimotomarket.com\/products\/melano-cc-premium-brightening-essence-20ml","provider":"Tsujimoto Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
