How it works
The Mela Zero Dark Spot Toning Cream is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named third on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tranexamic Acid, Arbutin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. Fation sells this Niacinamide cream in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Niacinamide, the active this cream is built around
- Tranexamic Acid, Arbutin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Adenosine on the same list, actives
- Bisabolol and Hexylresorcinol further down the same list
- Glutathione and Tocopherol further down the same list
- Niacinamide named third on the manufacturer list printed on this page
Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this cream's own ingredient list it is named third.
Tranexamic Acidactive
Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic amino acid derivative used for the look of stubborn discolouration and post-blemish marks. It is water soluble, stable and comfortable next to niacinamide, which is how it is usually paired. The panel names it twenty-fourth on this cream's list, beside Niacinamide.
Arbutinactive
Arbutin is the naturally occurring form of the same compound, from bearberry and related plants, used for the look of uneven tone. The alpha isomer is the more stable of the two. The panel names it twenty-fifth on this cream's list, beside Niacinamide.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named thirty-third on this cream's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. The panel names it thirty-fifth on this cream's list, beside Niacinamide.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Tranexamic Acid, Arbutin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Adenosine, Bisabolol and Hexylresorcinol.

How to use
- Apply as the last step of the routine, morning and/or night, smoothing over the whole face after serum or essence has absorbed.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- Introduce this cream on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Niacinamide rather than to three changes at once.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
