What is this product?
OHUI's Extreme White Niacinamide 10% TX Mela-Toning Cream (60ml) genuinely delivers what its name promises on concentration: niacinamide at a strong 10 percent, plus tranexamic acid at a lighter, supporting 0.5 percent and hexylresorcinol further down the list, giving it three real, complementary routes to fading pigment rather than one. A fragrance entry and a declared limonene allergen sit in the formula. No brand-run clinical figure for this exact cream, and no pH, were found on either of the two archived pages, so the extreme in the name is a superlative rather than a measured claim.
What makes it different?
A disclosed 10 percent niacinamide dose, at the high end of what commercial brightening creams use, is the anchor fact that separates this from a typical low-dose brightening cream. Layering tranexamic acid and hexylresorcinol behind it gives the formula three independent depigmentation mechanisms rather than one, a more considered brightening design than most single-active creams manage. A five-member oligopeptide stack alongside ceramide NP and cholesterol adds a barrier-and-anti-aging dimension the name does not advertise at all.
