Description
Features
COSRX The Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum is a high-intensity, high-concentration brightening serum specifically formulated to address post-breakout marks and visible skin discoloration. Designed with a watery, low-viscosity texture, the formula absorbs quickly into the skin for a fresh, non-sticky finish, making it suitable for all skin types and seasons.
Benefits
This serum provides targeted care for uneven skin tone, dark spots, and dullness caused by factors such as hormonal changes, UV exposure, or post-breakout marks. It effectively manages the entire mechanism of discoloration from start to finish. In addition to its brightening properties, the formula includes soothing ingredients to calm sensitive skin, ensuring a comfortable application even for those prone to irritation.
Main Ingredients and their effects
The formula is powered by a high-intensity blend of six key ingredients to address skin concerns:
Tranexamic Acid (3%): Works to help improve the appearance of post-breakout marks and dark spots.
Niacinamide (5%): A key brightening agent that assists in evening out skin tone.
NAG (Acetyl Glucosamine) (2%): Works in synergy with Niacinamide to further enhance brightening effects.
Alpha-Arbutin (2%): A potent ingredient targeted at reducing the appearance of pigmentation.
Glutathione and Ferulic Acid: Included to complete the high-intensity formula for comprehensive discoloration care.
Clinical test results
In a clinical study conducted by P&K Skin Research Center (May 2, 2024 – June 21, 2024, on 20 adult women), the serum demonstrated significant improvements after 4 weeks of use. The surface melanin area was reduced by 20.47%, and visible, long-standing dark spots and blemishes were improved by 22.31%. Additionally, the product is certified as non-comedogenic, making it suitable for acne-prone skin, and passed a primary skin irritation test for sensitive skin with a skin irritation index of 0.00 (non-irritating).
Usage instructions
After cleansing and toning, apply a proper amount of COSRX The Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum evenly to the face, avoiding the eye area. For areas requiring more intensive care, apply 2 to 3 additional layers to the skin until fully absorbed.
