Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants known, with the ability to neutralize free radicals many times more effectively than several other common ingredients. The Dr.Melaxin Astaxanthin Brightening Ampoule – 30ml puts that power to work, targeting pigmentation, freckles, and dark spots with notable results.
The ampoule contains a high concentration of 100,000ppb astaxanthin, along with niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and vitamin C, a combination that makes it one of the standout releases from Dr. Melaxin‘s specialized “Astaxanthin Melasma” line. You can also browse more of our Korean skincare products.
