Fresh Skin, Orange Mornings: My Daily Glow with TIAM Alpha-5 Mela Care Cream
It’s no secret that I’m always on the hunt for brightening creams that actually feel good on the skin. And these days, one product I keep reaching for every morning is the TIAM Alpha-5 Mela Care Cream. You’ve probably already spotted it on my feed—right next to a bunch of juicy oranges. Yep, that was intentional.
This cream is packed with 5% Alpha-Arbutin, Niacinamide, and Glutathione, and though it doesn’t contain actual vitamin C, it gives me the same fresh and radiant vibe I associate with citrus. That’s why I styled it with oranges—the visual just felt right. Bright, clean, and full of energy—exactly how this cream makes my skin feel.
What I love most? The texture. It’s incredibly lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin smooth without any stickiness. Perfect under sunscreen and makeup, or just on bare skin when I want to feel naturally glowy.
I’ve been using it daily, especially after breakouts, and I’ve noticed how it helps fade post-acne marks while keeping my skin calm and even. The glow is subtle but real, and it layers beautifully with other skincare.
For those who don’t know, TIAM is a Korean skincare brand that focuses on effective, functional ingredients for everyday routines. Their formulas are simple but powerful—and the Alpha-5 Mela Care Cream is a great example.
If your skin is in need of balance, brightness, and a fresh start each day, I totally recommend this one. Bonus: the packaging fits so cutely in any flatlay next to your favorite fruit. 🙂
