This is a slightly oily serum/essence that contains both vitamin C and vitamin E that work together to lighten dark spots. After reading a lot about Melano CC and being thoroughly convinced, I went ahead and bought the Essence (the one in a squeezy, foil bottle). I also read this review which talked about the Lotion (a liquid, NOT a cream and almost like a toner??) and Essence but this was several years ago and I am wondering what thoughts others have. The person who did the above review also posted it on Reddit and commented and answered questions on this post and in it, they say that the combo of Lotion and Essence work really well together. Has this been true for anyone else? The Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence has a clear, slightly oily texture, with a slight citrus-type scent. Nothing very strong, and it isn’t very oily.
