Medi-Peel Melanon X Ampoule

It is a brightening antioxidant ampoule from Medi-Peel, sold at Beauty Bar in a 30 ml bottle. It combines well-known brightening ingredients — alpha-arbutin, vitamin C, glutathione and tranexamic acid — in a lightweight formula. Applied as a few drops after toner, it helps skin look clearer, more even-toned and radiant, and suits all skin types.

After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops to the face and press gently into the skin until absorbed, before your moisturiser. It is best used in the evening. Because it contains brightening and antioxidant ingredients, always apply sunscreen the next morning, as this helps protect the look of an even, radiant complexion over time.

Alpha-arbutin is one of the best-known brightening ingredients in skincare, widely used to help skin look more even and radiant. In the Melanon X Ampoule it works alongside vitamin C, glutathione and tranexamic acid as part of a brightening-focused blend. As with all cosmetics, it supports the appearance of an even, luminous complexion rather than treating the skin.

It contains retinal, also called retinaldehyde — a member of the vitamin A family related to retinol but a distinct ingredient, popular for its association with smoother, firmer, more even-looking skin. Because vitamin A ingredients can be sensitising, use the ampoule in the evening, introduce it gradually, and always follow with sunscreen the next morning.

It is designed with the look of uneven tone in mind. Its blend of alpha-arbutin, vitamin C, glutathione and tranexamic acid is focused on helping skin appear brighter and more even over time. For visible results, use it consistently in the evening and pair it with daily sunscreen, which protects the even, radiant look you are working towards.

The brand describes it as a gentle formula, and it includes soothing and hydrating ingredients alongside the brightening blend. That said, it contains fragrance and active brightening ingredients, so if your skin is sensitive, introduce it slowly — every second or third evening at first — and patch test before full use. Stop if you notice persistent discomfort.

Brightening-focused skincare works gradually, so give it consistent use over several weeks rather than expecting an overnight change. Using the ampoule most evenings, alongside daily sunscreen, gives the best chance of skin looking clearer and more even over time. Results vary from person to person, and sun protection is what keeps the improvement visible.
