All Rohto Mentholatum Products
3 products reviewed and rated.

Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Essence
Japan cult-favorite vitamin C โ a tube lasts forever and fades dark spots at a fraction of Western serum prices.

Melano CC Premium Brightening Essence
The upgraded version of the cult Rohto Melano CC Essence. Same pure L-ascorbic acid formula, now with added vitamin E and panthenol. For under $20, nothing in the vitamin C serum category competes on price/performance โ the only real downside is the strong citrusy-medicinal scent.
