Breylee Vitamin C Lightening Cream 40g40g

Key Ingredients

• 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: a stable vitamin C derivative, the ingredient behind this product's "Vitamin C" naming
• Sodium Hyaluronate: a hyaluronic acid derivative included for hydration
• Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter): included for its skin-conditioning and moisturizing properties
• Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein & Glycerin: additional skin-conditioning and hydrating ingredients
• Ingredient-disclosure note: only 6 ingredients total are disclosed for this formula, and no preservative is listed among them, which is unusual for a finished water-based cream -- this is flagged as an incomplete-looking ingredient panel rather than a confirmed preservative-free claim

Key Features

• A vitamin C cream from Breylee, manufactured by Shenzhen Qianzimei Cosmetics Co., Ltd, China
• The brand's own marketing states the product "contains 20% VC" (vitamin C) -- this specific concentration figure could not be independently verified from the disclosed ingredient list, since INCI ordering does not disclose exact concentrations, and a genuine 20% concentration would be unusually high for a finished cosmetic cream; this figure should be treated with skepticism rather than as a confirmed fact
• Naming note: the same 6-ingredient formula was found sold under at least three different product names across sources ("Vitamin C Lightening Cream," "Vitamin C Whitening Facial Cream," and "Vitamin C 20% Cream"), suggesting inconsistent branding of what is likely the same underlying SKU

Benefits

• Marketed for antioxidant support and to help reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone over time
• This description avoids the term "whitening" in the sense of permanently lightening natural skin tone; the realistic effect of a vitamin C derivative is supporting a brighter, more even-looking complexion with regular use, not altering fundamental skin colour

Who Can Use This Product

• Adults looking for a vitamin C-based cream to help with the appearance of dark spots and dullness
• Vitamin C derivatives can increase sun sensitivity in some users; daytime sunscreen use is recommended
• Those with known sensitivities to any listed ingredient should patch-test before regular use, particularly given the incomplete ingredient/preservative disclosure noted above
• Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction occurs

How to Use

• Apply to clean, dry skin, typically in the evening or as directed
• Use a small amount and massage gently into the face, avoiding the eye area
• Follow with sunscreen the next morning if used as part of a daytime routine

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as vitamin C derivatives can degrade with heat and light exposure
• Keep the container tightly closed after use
• Keep out of reach of children
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation or an allergic reaction develops

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Does this cream really contain 20% vitamin C?

A: This is the brand's own marketing claim. MedEasy could not independently verify this concentration from the disclosed ingredient list, and a genuine 20% concentration would be unusually high for a finished cream, so this figure should be treated with some skepticism.

Q: Why is only a 6-ingredient list available for this product?

A: This is the full ingredient list found across the official brand site and independent ingredient databases. Notably, no preservative is listed, which is unusual for a water-based cream -- MedEasy flags this as a possible labeling gap.

Q: Does this cream permanently whiten skin?

A: No. Vitamin C derivatives support a brighter, more even-looking complexion with regular use; they do not permanently alter natural skin colour.

Q: Is this the same as "Vitamin C Whitening Facial Cream" or "Vitamin C 20% Cream"?

A: Likely yes -- the same 6-ingredient formula was found sold under all three names across different sources, suggesting inconsistent branding of the same underlying product.

Q: Who manufactures this product?

A: Shenzhen Qianzimei Cosmetics Co., Ltd, China, per the official Breylee brand site.
