Your daily brightening step
Brighter-looking skin, without a heavy layer
When marks linger after a blemish has settled, keep your routine focused on consistent tone care. This serum hydrates as it targets the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone, leaving skin fresh and comfortable beneath moisturiser.
Comfortable texture
Fast absorption and a fresh finish
The smooth texture spreads easily and absorbs without a greasy feel. It layers under moisturiser and sunscreen, making brightening care practical for a morning routine as well as evening use.
Inside the formula
Sea buckthorn, niacinamide and tranexamic acid
A 63% sea buckthorn water base works alongside 5% niacinamide and 2% tranexamic acid for more even-looking tone. Panthenol, beta-glucan, hyaluronic acid ingredients and ceramide NP bring moisture care to the same step.
Skin results
Care for visible marks and skin comfort
Pigmentation, acne-prone skin suitability and sensitive-skin safety were assessed by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences during 9–23 September 2024. Keep the serum in a regular routine and finish daytime skincare with sunscreen.
Ingredient focus
Tone care with a moisturising base
Tranexamic acid and niacinamide focus on uneven-looking tone, while centella and hyaluronic acid ingredients add comfortable moisture. Use a few drops as one serum step rather than building several overlapping brightening layers.
Fit it into your routine
Easy layering before moisturiser
A light, non-greasy finish lets the serum sit comfortably beneath your cream. Allow it to absorb before continuing with sunscreen or makeup. Begin every other day if vitamin C is new to your routine.
How to use
A simple daily serum step
Cleanse and tone
After cleansing and toner, allow your skin to dry completely.
Apply a few drops
Spread a few drops evenly over the face and gently pat until absorbed. Begin every other day if you are new to vitamin C.
Moisturise and protect
Follow with moisturiser. Always finish with sunscreen during the day. Use morning or evening as your skin feels comfortable.
