Brand note
Rohto Mentholatum is the Japanese drugstore powerhouse behind some of the most functional, no-nonsense skincare out there — think stable vitamin C serums, hydrating sunscreens, and nourishing lip balms that actually work without a luxury price tag. The Melano CC Vitamin C Essence is the standout: a stable, affordable serum that targets newer dark spots and is suitable for most skin types, though the oily finish can be a trade-off for some.
