This is actually a serum that I have tried myself from Korea. I haven't tried that many but this one I definitely have. I love this one.▶ 17:21–17:28
It is great for those that are seeking a vitamin C derivative mostly for skin brightening benefits.
Contains ascorbyl glucoside, a sugar form of vitamin C that's a lot more stable, but again really helps with skin brightening, so helping with uneven skin tone, especially like if you struggle with post-acne marks for example. This one would be great for that.
Also contains arbutin, which is again a more gentle brightening ingredient that overall helps with uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation.▶ 18:06–18:13
It does contain niacinamide. We don't talk about it a lot in the world of antioxidant, but it does actually have great antioxidant benefits.
Does contain centella derivatives that again is more soothing, hydrating, and may offer some anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
I first and foremost view it as a great brightening serum because of the ingredients, and they may also offer some antioxidant benefits as well as skin barrier support benefits.
