Quasi-Drug (医薬部外品) Melano CC Anti-Spot Brightening Gel is a Japanese beauty serum gel that targets excess pigmentation.
The refreshing gel works to prevent dark spots and freckles while having the moisture-replenishing effect of a moisturiser milk and face cream. Vitamins C and E derivatives slow down melanin production in the skin while anti-inflammatory Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate reduces acne inflammation and roughness. Alpinia White, lemon extract, and grapefruit extract boost skin’s clarity and hydration.
The gel absorbs quickly without leaving behind a sticky or greasy residue. Skin is replenished with improved clarity. Ideal for use on the face and body as after-sun care.

Though I am really interested in this gel (and love Melano CC in general), I am a bit weary as it seems to include methylparaben. What do you think about methylparaben when used in skincare? Do you believe that it is as potentially damaging as some people contend? I know very little about parabens and figured that it would be best to ask someone more informed about ingredients and skincare than I.
Parabens are one of the oldest, safest, and most effective preservatives. They occur naturally in several fruits (e.g. blueberries). I personally prefer parabens which have been tested and used for decades over the newer alternatives that are often not as effective, potentially more irritating, and not proven to be safe longterm.
Thank you so much for that information! That makes total sense! I actually bought the brightening gel the other day and LOVE it. I appreciate your insight on parabens, btw!
ooh this is so interesting. Please do a review of this when you can.
Thank you!
