What does the serum feel like, and does it leave a sticky finish?

It has a silky, slightly viscous texture that spreads and absorbs easily without leaving a sticky finish.

Is it recommended for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. It is recommended for sensitive and acne-prone skin, along with oily, dry and combination skin. Irritation testing was completed, but individual reactions can still vary.

How and when should I apply the serum?

Use it morning and evening after cleansing and toning. Apply a few drops, spread gently and pat until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer. Finish your morning routine with sunscreen.

Which highlighted ingredients and published amounts are in the formula?

Published exact-product amounts include 5% niacinamide, 5% panthenol, 4% tranexamic acid and 100 ppm glutathione. The vitamin C forms are listed as 2,000 ppm 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid and 1 ppb each ascorbic acid and ascorbyl glucoside.

Does different-looking packaging mean the serum formula changed?

The bottle and outer box were refreshed while the serum formula remained unchanged, so packaging may vary during the transition.

Does the formula contain animal-derived ingredients?

The official product page states that the formula is made without animal-derived ingredients.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Hello, brighter-looking days. This daily serum is made for the appearance of dark spots, post-acne marks and dull, uneven-looking tone. Its focus is skin that looks clearer, more even and radiant.

At its center is an antioxidant and tone-evening blend of glutathione, niacinamide, tranexamic acid and vitamin C. The formula includes 5% niacinamide, 4% tranexamic acid and three forms of vitamin C, while alpha-arbutin adds another tone-care ingredient.

That focused blend is paired with 5% panthenol and ceramide for soothing, hydrating support. The formula is made without animal-derived ingredients and is recommended for dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin, as well as acne-prone skin. Individual fit can still vary.

The texture brings a softer note: silky and slightly viscous, with easy spread and absorption and no sticky finish. The bottle and outer box have been refreshed while the serum formula remains unchanged, so packaging may vary during the transition.

Key Ingredients

Fine dry pressed striations with soft amber, celadon, lavender and coral tones fade into a warm ivory matte surface.

Glutathione

A reduced tripeptide used as a cosmetic reducing agent. Small topical studies test specific concentrations and complete regimens—not every formula that lists GLUTATHIONE.

Niacinamide

Helps visibly brighten uneven tone and support the skin barrier.

An ivory abstract form with soft, flowing folds rests on a dusty rose seamless surface, casting a gentle studio shadow.

Tranexamic Acid

May gradually improve the look of uneven tone in some leave-on formulas; the evidence is formula-specific and sun protection still matters.

Seven dry amber, apricot, lavender and celadon relief rays spread diagonally across one warm-ivory matte plaster surface beside a tiny coral point.

Vitamin C

An antioxidant ingredient family that can help brighten uneven-looking tone and soften visible dullness.

Translucent ivory sculptural folds with glossy highlights and small clear droplets on a warm cream studio surface.

Alpha-Arbutin

A defined hydroquinone glucoside with emerging formula-specific evidence for more even-looking tone—not the same ingredient as Arbutin or hydroquinone.

Panthenol

Pro-vitamin B5 that helps skin hold moisture and feel softer and more comfortable.

Overlapping ivory wax-like layers on a warm blush background, representing ceramide barrier lipids.

Ceramides

Barrier-supporting lipids that help reduce moisture loss and ease visible dryness.
