Description

This high-potency discoloration care serum is formulated to address a broad range of pigment concerns in a single bottle. The Alpha-Arbutin (2%) provides the primary brightening action, supported by Tranexamic Acid to target post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and blotchy spots. Additional actives such as Acetyl Glucosamine and Niacinamide help even skin tone and refine texture, while Madecassoside and Licorice Root Extract work to soothe irritation. The hydrating base includes Glycerin, Propanediol, and multiple Hyaluronic Acid derivatives to keep the complexion plump and comfortable. Antioxidants like Ferulic Acid, Tocopherol (vitamin E), and Glutathione support overall skin health as discoloration fades. Cocoa extract adds botanical richness, contributing to a calmer, more even-looking skin tone. Ideal for acne scars, hormonal pigmentation, and dull skin, this serum is designed to slot into a targeted routine for noticeable brightening over time.

How to use

After cleansing, evenly apply the serum to areas needing discoloration coverage and allow it to absorb. For intensive care, layer 2-3 times as needed. Follow with a moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect results.

Sunscreen & SPF Products in Canada

Unfortunately due to regulations by Health Canada we are unable to offer any Korean sunscreen or SPF products to Canadian customers.

We are working with Health Canada to obtain Federal approval for these items, but it's a lengthy process.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will let you know as soon as this changes!

Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?

Korean beauty brands update their formulas and packaging regularly - sometimes several times a year - and these changes often happen faster than we can update every listing. We do our best to keep product pages current, but what you receive may have a newer formulation or updated packaging. The core product and its function remain the same. If you'd like to verify what's currently in stock before ordering, reach out to us at info@kbeauti.ca and we'll confirm for you.
