KrX Mela Défense Whitening Cream

Mela Défense Whitening Cream contains a unique formulation of Hanbang (Korean Traditional Medicine) ingredients, each chosen for its ability to brighten and balance skin tone, reduce pigmentation, and promote deep healing below the skin’s surface.

The star ingredient is Tranexamic Acid, a tyrosinase inhibitor that suppresses overactive melanin gently and naturally. The cream contains 5% Tranexamic Acid and 3% Niacinamide, working synergistically to lighten dark spots, brighten the complexion, and support post-procedure recovery—making it gentle enough to use before and after chemical peels.

RiFerm-NPG™, derived from fermented rice water and certified organic by COSMOS, delivers powerful antioxidant and anti-aging benefits backed by Korean innovation. This brightening cream is clinically formulated to address hyperpigmentation caused by melasma or sun exposure.

Safe for daily use, this is your go-to treatment for targeting stubborn discoloration and restoring radiance.
