the SAEM Power Spot Vitamin Cream Review
I ordered a spot treatment cream hoping to lighten pigmentation spots, but sadly couldn’t use it.
The manufacturer promised that the cream will lighten troubled areas (pigmentation spots, post acne marks, etc), give the skin a healthy glow and even out the skin tone. Another selling point was that the cream could be used not only as a spot treatment but also as an eye cream and as a normal face cream.
I found it on the eBay. The order came fairly quickly. A pretty tube with a thin nozzle – a comfortable applicator for spot use. The cream smells tasty like sweet, juice mandarins. That’s about it for the positives of this cream.

I applied it as a spot treatment to the bridge of the nose and the area above the upper lip where I have a bit of pigmentation. First of all, the cream doesn’t get absorbed, at all. I didn’t use it during the day and applied only in the evenings. Second of all, in about five days it completely clogged my pores and I got small nasty pimples above my lip.
I got into the ingredients and saw mineral oil, more specifically vaseline (petrolatum). Most likely, that’s what gave me this reaction. I have combination skin prone to inflammation and this cream is definitely not for me. Perhaps it would suit better dry mature skin prone to pigmentation.
Too bad that the site didn’t have information on what skin type this cream is for, but the packaging says it’s recommended for dry, normal or dull skin.
