Pore+Dark Spot Brightening Care Sunscreen
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Celimax Pore+ Dark Spot Brightening Care Sunscreen is a broad-spectrum SPF 50 formula with niacinamide and tranexamic acid, praised by dermatologists for improving pigmentation and the skin barrier. Dr Dray and Dr. Sam Ellis both note it's lightweight, moisturizing, non-greasy, and easy to use around the eyes, with a skin-like finish that leaves you looking hydrated. Dr. Danny Guo suggests using it only once in the morning on indoor days due to the active ingredients, as it may not be ideal for frequent reapplication.
