I recommend the [Botanic Sense] Melanin Control Erasing Essence. It is an essence, but you can think of it as a dark spot cream. Since it is in essence form, it absorbs quickly into the skin and keeps it hydrated for a long time. It provides great moisture, and you can feel your skin texture improving after using it for a few days. The expiration date is a bit short and it has a scent, but I like this kind of fragrance, so it is fine for me. It has a minty scent, and my dark spots are fading a little.
