[TIAM] TIAM Alpha-5 Mela Care Cream 40ml
The TIAM Alpha-5 Mela Care Cream is a targeted spot-correction solution designed to address dull skin and hyperpigmentation. With 5% Alpha-Arbutin as the primary brightening ingredient, it works on dark spots and post-acne marks while improving overall skin tone. The formula combines a thoughtful blend of peptides—Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7—to support skin renewal and texture. Added antioxidants like Glutathione and Aronia Melanocarpa Fruit Extract, plus sea buckthorn water, nourish the skin and help protect against environmental stressors. The result is a cream that fits into a focused skincare routine, designed for precise, targeted care when you need it most.

Description
Description
TIAM’s Alpha-5 Mela Care Cream is formulated to tackle hyperpigmentation while brightening dull complexion unevenness. The standout 5% Alpha-Arbutin works at the pigment level to help reduce the appearance of dark spots and acne marks, while Niacinamide supports barrier function and enhances texture. The peptide complex delivers subtle renewing benefits, promoting a firmer feel and smoother surface over time. Supporting actives like Adenosine contribute to a calmer, more refreshed look, and Glutathione adds antioxidant support to help shield skin during daily exposure. Sea buckthorn-derived components and Aronia extract provide additional antioxidant protection and nourishing properties, making this cream a thoughtful addition for those dealing with uneven tone and lingering marks. The lightweight, emollient base aids in comfortable absorption, allowing it to layer well under sunscreen or other serums.
How to use
How to use
After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount of Alpha-5 Mela Care Cream during the cream step and gently pat to absorb. For targeted care, layer 2–3 times onto specific spots or areas with hyperpigmentation as needed. If using in the daytime, follow with sunscreen to protect the treated skin. For new users, start with once-daily application and monitor how your skin responds. Avoid the eye contour and discontinue if irritation occurs.

Sunscreen & SPF Products in Canada
Unfortunately due to regulations by Health Canada we are unable to offer any Korean sunscreen or SPF products to Canadian customers.

Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Korean beauty brands update their formulas and packaging regularly - sometimes several times a year - and these changes often happen faster than we can update every listing. We do our best to keep product pages current, but what you receive may have a newer formulation or updated packaging. The core product and its function remain the same. If you'd like to verify what's currently in stock before ordering, reach out to us at info@kbeauti.ca and we'll confirm for you.
