Lamelin Arbutin Pure Cream

It's a brightening daily face cream from Lamelin built around arbutin and niacinamide. It's designed for anyone who wants a more even, radiant-looking complexion and finds their skin looking dull or uneven in tone. It doubles as a everyday moisturiser, so it fits easily into a routine as your main cream, morning or night.

Arbutin is one of the best-known brightening ingredients in Korean skincare, popular for helping skin look more even and for making dark spots appear less noticeable over time. In this cream it's present at a meaningful level and paired with niacinamide, another favourite for radiance. Together they give the cream its focus on a clearer, brighter-looking tone.

Brightening ingredients work gradually, so consistency matters more than speed. Most people use a cream like this daily for several weeks before the complexion starts looking more even and radiant. Applying sunscreen every morning makes a big difference to the result, since sun exposure is the main reason tone looks uneven in the first place.

Yes — arbutin generally layers well with other brightening favourites like vitamin C and niacinamide, and many people use them together for a more even-looking tone. Introduce one new product at a time so you can see how your skin responds. Use this cream as your moisturising step, after any lightweight serums and before sunscreen.

For most skin types, yes. Alongside arbutin and niacinamide, it contains glycerin, hyaluronic acid and allantoin, which keep skin feeling comfortably hydrated. Drier skin in winter might layer a richer cream on top at night, but for daily use it works well as a standalone moisturiser that also focuses on a brighter-looking complexion.

Apply it as your moisturiser step — after cleansing, toner and any serums, and before sunscreen in the morning. A pea-sized amount smoothed over the face and neck is enough. Because it focuses on brightening, pairing it with a daily SPF is the single most important thing you can do to see and keep the results.

All skin types can use it. The texture is a comfortable cream rather than a heavy balm, so oily and combination skin can wear it without feeling greasy, while normal and drier skin get enough moisture for daily comfort. If your skin is very sensitive, introduce it slowly, as it contains active brightening ingredients and fragrance.
