What the product description says

“This stick helps reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentations and wrinkles with acetyl hexapeptide-8.”

Source: Yesstyle

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glutathione, tranexamic acid

The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: pancratium maritimum extract.

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

Tranexamic acidKey activeEffect: HighAn amino acid that is effective in reducing hyperpigmentation and evening out the skin tone. It can also help in skin barrier recovery. It is used to treat melasma, especially with injections and when taken orally~0.3–0.6%

GlutathioneKey activeEffect: HighA peptide that can help neutralize free radicals in skin and reduce melanin production resulting in skin lightening effect and reduction in hyperpigmentation. It can also help attract moisture to the upper layer of the skin~0.3–0.55%

Pancratium maritimum extractKey activeEffect: MediumA plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin. It might help reduce hyperpigmentation~0.3–0.6%

NiacinamideUnder-dosedIs proven to be effective in reducing blemishes, evening out skin tone and helping to improve lines and wrinkles. It helps the skin to repair sun damage, calm down inflammation and keep maintain good levels of moisture. The concentration of about 2% is effective for supporting the skin barrier and evening out the skin tone. Concentration of 4-6% is better for helping with acne and balancing the sebum production~0.6–0.85%

Ascorbic acidUnder-dosedThe most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging~0.3–0.55%

What the product description says

“The ampoule stick contains Vitamin C and botanical extracts to give skin a vitality boost, as well as seven types of hyaluronic acid and ceramide to replenish moisture.”

Source: Yesstyle

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, glyceryl glucoside.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, dimethicone.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, ceramide np, copper tripeptide-1, oligopeptide-32, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, panthenol, phytosphingosine

What the product description says

“It’s formulated with 30,000ppm of tocopheryl acetate and peptide complex to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.”

Source: Yesstyle

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, copper tripeptide-1, folic acid, oligopeptide-32, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Product summary

"MEDI-PEEL - Peptide 9 Mela Stick" is effective for: Moisturizing, Anti-aging and Evens skin tone

Ingredient callouts

This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.30% - 0.55%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.45% - 0.65% and ceramide np 0.45% - 0.65%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
Peptides (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.15% - 0.25%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.15% - 0.30%, oligopeptide-32 0.20% - 0.35%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.40% - 0.60%, copper tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.60%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.30% - 0.55% and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.45% - 0.65%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
Adenosine 0.30% - 0.50%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
Humectants (acetyl octapeptide-3 0.15% - 0.30%, inositol 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.45%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.30% - 0.55%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.30% - 0.55%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.30% - 0.55%, hyaluronic acid 0.30% - 0.55%, sodium hyaluronate 0.30% - 0.55%, glyceryl glucoside 0.30% - 0.55%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.60% and polyglycerin-3 0.30% - 0.55%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
