DERMAFIRM | X CREAM DARK SPOT TREATMENT

As I did in the first week of January last year, I’ll be sharing my favorite Vitamin C serums of the year in the days ahead. If you missed my article on The Year’s Best Vitamin C Serums With The Ordinary, Clinique, Beauty Stat & More! you can still catch it here.

I’m all about innovative new skincare in 2021 and one of the coolest discoveries is Korean clinical skincare brand Dermafirm’s range of targeted treatments – and specifically the new X Cream hyperpigmentation serum.

The X Cream brightening spot treatment has this wonderfully unique texture that looks like glue but isn’t the least bit sticky! If you’re familiar with the Rohto Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence, you can understand what I mean. Rohto’s Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence is perhaps the best targeted spot treatment for dark spots from the world of K-beauty. I reviewed it on the blog here.

Dermafirm’s clinical strength X Cream is an intensive spot treatment powered by high concentrations of both Ascorbyl Glucoside (Vitamin C) and Niacinamide — blended with three distinct complexes that attack dark spots from various angles.

Clerilys W is a blend of botanical extracts including hibiscus flower, mulberry bark and cucumber seed that helps clear and brighten the skin.

And, Melatein-X is an intensive brightening complex that inhibits melanin production to reduce dark spots and freckles for a brighter, more unified complexion.

In fact, Dermafirm’s clinical strength X Cream is considered one of the most effective Korean brightening products for targeting dark spots, sun spots, age spots and acne marks.

At just $19, it’s also quite affordable for a clinical treatment of its kind.
