    Melacare Intensive Cream

 

What skin concerns is Genabelle Melacare Intensive Cream used for?

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.

 

Can a melasma cream also help manage existing melasma and blemishes?

 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.

  • If you applied the cream in the morning, be sure to apply sunscreen as the last step
  • On days you stay outside for a long time, reapply sunscreen every two to three hours
  • 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.

     

What should sensitive skin check before using Melacare Cream?

 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.

  1. Apply a small amount behind your ear or along your jawline and observe for about a day.
  2. If it’s fine, apply a thin layer over the whole face.
  3. 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.

     

Do dry or combination-oily skin types need to use Melacare Cream with a moisturizer?

 

 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 conditionTry this
Combination-oilyApply generously on the cheeks, thinly on the forehead and nose
Dry skinBefore applying, layer toner thinly two or three times
Days when cold wind makes your skin especially dryAfter applying the cream, add a thin layer of moisturizer once more

 

When using moisturizer together, apply Melacare Cream first 

and finish with the moisturizer.

Can Melacare Cream be used together with vitamin C and retinol products?

 

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 togetherRecommended method
Vitamin C serumUse vitamin C in the morning and the cream at night
RetinolStart by alternating the days you use retinol and the days you use the cream
Exfoliating productsReduce 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.

 

What are the main ingredients in Melacare Cream, and what does each do?

 

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.

IngredientWhat kind of ingredient it is
NiacinamideVitamin B3. Widely used in cosmetics that care for dull-looking skin
Tranexamic acidAn ingredient often used in cosmetics for melasma and blemish care
AdenosineAn ingredient used for skin condition care
AllantoinHelps comfort and smooth the skin
Cellfylum extractAn extract obtained from a thyme-related plant

 

It also contains moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and butylene glycol.

 

What does Melacare Complex 55,000ppm mean?

 

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.
