Description
Description
Rooted in Sulwhasoo’s ginseng philosophy, this concentrated ampoule delivers a focused brightening treatment that targets pigment irregularities while supporting skin vitality. Key actives include tranexamic acid and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid (a stable vitamin C derivative) to help reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone, complemented by niacinamide for barrier support and improved texture. The formula also features hydrolyzed ginseng saponins and Panax ginseng root extract to honor the brand’s heritage, along with a blend of traditional botanicals such as Morus alba root extract, Rehmannia glutinosa root extract, Paeonia lactiflora root extract, and other botanical extracts that contribute to a calmer, more balanced complexion. Acetyl peptide ingredients offer gentle anti-aging support, while the overall texture is designed for easy layering with your existing routine. Note that the product contains fragrance, which may affect sensitive skin—patch testing is advised if you’re new to fragrance-containing formulas.

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.

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