COSRX | The Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum

2% Alpha-Arbutin:a plant-derived ingredient that works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin production in the skin. By reducing melanin production, alpha arbutin helps to lighten dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and even out skin tone. It is known for its effectiveness in addressing concerns such as sun damage, age spots, and melasma without causing irritation or sensitivity, making it suitable for various skin types.

5% Niacinamide:a treatment concentration of vitamin B3 that primarily balances the skin, supports normal skin barrier function, and gently evens out skin tone and improves compromised skin texture.

3% Tranexamic Acid:works by inhibiting the activation of melanocytes responsible for discoloration, and is also effective for melasma, a chronic skin condition that occurs as a result of UV radiation combined with genetic, hormonal, and other factors.

2% NAG:n-acetyl glucosamine, an antioxidant that is a precursor to hyaluronic acid and acts on discolorations and hydration levels.

Additionally, powerful antioxidants like ferulic acid and glutathione support the mechanism of action of brightening ingredients, prevent the formation of new ones, and provide protection against the harmful effects of free radicals and external stressors.

Use after cleansing, on dry facial skin, before hydrating serums and/or creams. During the day, always use sun protection products, SPF 30 or higher.
