Genabelle personally answers 7 frequently asked questions when choosing a cream for melasma and blemishes.
📌 7 questions answered in this article
It’s a daily cream for people worried about melasma or blemishes, or whose skin feels dry yet looks shiny on the outside.
After being exposed to UV rays all summer, your complexion can look dull by fall, and blemishes that weren’t there before may start to stand out.
When cold winds start blowing too, the skin becomes drier and looks even rougher. This is a product for when you want to care for both skin tone and moisture at the same time.
Melacare Cream can be used morning and night,
and if you use it in the morning, be sure to finish with sunscreen.
A cream alone cannot remove melasma that has already formed.
Cosmetics are for daily care of skin tone and condition.
For dark or long-standing melasma, it’s best to consult a dermatologist.
That said, consistent care can help. Melasma tends to darken more with UV exposure, so sunscreen is just as important as the cream.
Don’t rub your face hard when washing it
If you take a photo in the same lighting when you first start, it’s easier to compare your skin tone a few weeks later.
First, check whether fragrance is included in the full ingredients list. Melacare Intensive Cream does contain fragrance.
Genabelle introduces it as a derma solution that can be used on sensitive skin too, but if you have reacted to scents before, it’s better to start carefully.
Try checking it like this first.
If redness, swelling, or itching appears, stop using it immediately and consult a dermatologist.
Do not apply it to areas with wounds, eczema, or dermatitis. On days when your skin is especially sensitive, it may also be best not to start a new product.
For most people, this one cream is enough.
The cream itself is made for combination-oily and dry skin, so you don’t need to layer on a separate moisturizer.
However, depending on your skin type, try adjusting it like this.
| Skin condition | Try this |
|---|---|
| Combination-oily | Apply generously on the cheeks, thinly on the forehead and nose |
| Dry skin | Before applying, layer toner thinly two or three times |
| Days when cold wind makes your skin especially dry | After applying the cream, add a thin layer of moisturizer once more |
When using moisturizer together, apply Melacare Cream first
and finish with the moisturizer.

You can use them together, but instead of layering everything at once,
it’s easier on the skin to separate them by time of day.
Vitamin C and retinol can feel irritating to the skin,
so when adding a new combination, it’s safer to introduce them one at a time.
| Products used together | Recommended method |
|---|---|
| Vitamin C serum | Use vitamin C in the morning and the cream at night |
| Retinol | Start by alternating the days you use retinol and the days you use the cream |
| Exfoliating products | Reduce to 1–2 times a week, and use only the cream on those days |
Once your skin gets used to it and feels fine, you can use them together on the same day.
If any combination causes stinging or redness, stop using it right away.
It contains niacinamide and tranexamic acid at its core, along with adenosine, allantoin, and cellfylum extract.
The amount of each ingredient is not disclosed separately, and the full ingredient list can be viewed in Korean and English at the bottom of the detail page.
| Ingredient | What kind of ingredient it is |
|---|---|
| Niacinamide | Vitamin B3. Widely used in cosmetics that care for dull-looking skin |
| Tranexamic acid | An ingredient often used in cosmetics for melasma and blemish care |
| Adenosine | An ingredient used for skin condition care |
| Allantoin | Helps comfort and smooth the skin |
| Cellfylum extract | An extract obtained from a thyme-related plant |
It also contains moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and butylene glycol.
It means the Melacare Complex ingredient blend makes up 5.5% of the entire cream.
Since 1% equals 10,000ppm, 55,000ppm equals 5.5%.
What’s important here is that this number is not the amount of a single ingredient, but the total amount of several ingredients combined.
So when comparing it with other creams,
don’t look only at the number after 'Complex ○○ppm';
it’s more accurate to also look at which ingredients are inside it.
