  • How to use Rohto Mentholatum Melano CC Brightening Lotion 170ml

    1. Start with a Cleansed Face: Begin your routine after properly cleansing your face. Whether you perform a double cleanse or use a single facial wash, ensure all makeup, sunscreen, and impurities have been removed. Gently pat your skin dry with a clean towel. This product is to be used as your toner or "lotion" step, which in a Japanese skincare routine, comes immediately after cleansing.
    2. Dispense the Lotion: Open the cap and tilt the bottle to dispense the lotion directly into the palm of your hand. Because of its watery consistency, start with a coin-sized amount (approximately a 2.5cm diameter circle). You can always add more if needed, but this is typically sufficient for the face and neck.
    3. Warm and Apply: Gently rub your palms together to slightly warm the product. Press your hands onto your face, starting with the larger areas like your cheeks, forehead, and chin. This pressing or "stamping" motion is a gentle way to apply the product without pulling at the skin.
    4. Pat for Maximum Absorption: Once the lotion is distributed across your face, use your fingertips to lightly pat the product into your skin. This technique, popular in both Japanese and Korean skincare, enhances circulation and helps the lotion absorb more deeply and effectively. Continue patting until your skin feels hydrated and slightly plump, not wet.
    5. Focus on Areas of Concern: For areas where you have more prominent dark spots, sun spots, or post-acne marks, you can apply an extra layer. Dispense a small amount of the lotion onto a cotton pad and hold it on the specific area for 1-2 minutes as a concentrated mini-mask.
    6. Don't Forget the Neck: Extend the application down to your neck and décolletage. These areas are also prone to sun damage and signs of aging, and will benefit from the brightening and hydrating effects of the lotion.
    7. Proceed with Your Routine: Once the Melano CC Lotion has fully absorbed, immediately follow up with the rest of your skincare routine, such as your Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence, serums, moisturiser, and, most importantly, sunscreen in your morning routine.

  • Integrating Rohto Mentholatum Melano CC Brightening Lotion 170ml into Your Skincare Flow

    • Your First Step After Cleansing: Use this brightening lotion as the toning step in your routine. Its main purpose is to hydrate the skin and deliver a potent dose of Vitamin C immediately after washing your face.
    • AM and PM Use: This lotion is gentle enough to be incorporated into both your morning and evening skincare rituals. Using it in the morning provides excellent antioxidant protection against environmental damage during the day.
    • The Perfect Partner for the Melano CC Essence: For maximum brightening results, pair this lotion with its famous sibling, the Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence. Use the lotion first to hydrate and prep the skin, then apply the concentrated essence to target specific spots.
    • As a DIY Face Mask: For an intensive brightening treatment, soak several thin cotton pads or a compressed sheet mask in the Melano CC Lotion. Apply to your face and leave on for 5-10 minutes. This floods your skin with moisture and active ingredients, leaving it visibly more radiant.
    • Body Care Application: Don't limit its use to just your face. This generous 170ml bottle makes it perfect for targeting hyperpigmentation or sun damage on your body, such as on the arms, chest, or back.

Scent, texture and feel of Rohto Mentholatum Melano CC Brightening Lotion 170ml

  • Scent: The lotion has a distinct and uplifting citrusy scent, primarily reminiscent of fresh yuzu and grapefruit. This natural fragrance comes from the citrus extracts within the formula. It is refreshing and invigorating upon application and dissipates quickly without lingering, making your skincare routine feel like a mini aromatherapy session.
  • Texture: The texture is very clear, watery, and lightweight, almost like a splash of water. It is not viscous or thick like some hydrating toners can be. This ultra-light consistency allows it to penetrate the skin almost instantly without leaving any sticky or heavy film behind.
  • Feel: Upon application, the lotion feels incredibly refreshing and hydrating on the skin. There's an immediate sensation of moisture quenching your skin's thirst. Once absorbed, it leaves the skin feeling soft, supple, and perfectly prepped for the next steps in your skincare routine. It provides a clean, non-greasy finish that is suitable for all skin types.

    Most common questions about Rohto Mentholatum Melano CC Brightening Lotion 170ml

    Is this product a toner or a moisturizer?
    In the context of a Japanese skincare routine, this product is considered a "lotion" or "kesho-sui," which functions as a hydrating toner. Its primary role is to deliver immediate hydration and active ingredients to the skin after cleansing, preparing it to better absorb subsequent products like serums and moisturisers. It is not a replacement for your daily cream moisturiser.

    Can I use this lotion if I have sensitive or acne-prone skin?
    Yes, this lotion is generally well-suited for sensitive and acne-prone skin types. It contains anti-inflammatory ingredients like Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (derived from licorice root) which helps to soothe redness and irritation associated with breakouts. The Vitamin C can also help fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne scars). As with any new product, we at Asian Trend Beauty always recommend a patch test first.

    What form of Vitamin C does this lotion use?
    This lotion features a highly stable and effective Vitamin C derivative called 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid. Unlike pure ascorbic acid, this form is less prone to oxidation from air and UV light, meaning it stays potent for longer. It penetrates the skin deeply to inhibit melanin production, effectively targeting dark spots and brightening the overall complexion.

    Will this make my skin more sensitive to the sun?
    This is a common myth about Vitamin C. In reality, Vitamin C does not make your skin more sensitive to the sun. In fact, it's a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect your skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure. When used in the morning underneath your sunscreen, it actually boosts your sun protection, making it a vital part of a daytime routine.

    How is this different from a Vitamin C serum?
    This lotion is designed to provide overall facial hydration and a base level of brightening for the entire face. A Vitamin C serum, like the Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence, is typically more concentrated and is often used to spot-treat specific areas of concern after the lotion has been applied. Think of the lotion as a hydrating toner with brightening benefits, and the serum as the concentrated treatment.
