Description
The Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Alpha-Arbutin is Beauty of Joseon’s tone-evening serum. Where the Glow Serum focuses on oil balance and radiance, the Glow Deep Serum is aimed at dark spots, post-acne marks and dullness.
Key ingredients
- Rice bran water – a hydrating, softening base typical of Korean skincare.
- Alpha-arbutin – a popular ingredient for helping fade the look of hyperpigmentation over time.
- Niacinamide and supporting brighteners – help the complexion look more even.
Texture and finish
A light, watery serum that absorbs immediately and layers easily under any moisturizer or sunscreen.
Who it suits
All skin types dealing with uneven tone, sun spots or red and brown marks left after breakouts. It is gentle enough for most sensitive skin. If you have melasma, ask a dermatologist how to combine it with your treatment.
How to use it
AM and PM: after cleansing and toner, apply 2–3 drops to the whole face, focusing on areas with marks, then moisturize. Brightening serums only make sense with daily sun protection: finish your morning routine with Relief Sun. Use it consistently for several weeks before judging results.
Who should skip it
If you already use several strong brightening actives (high-strength vitamin C, prescription creams), check with a professional before adding another. Patch test if your skin is reactive.
FAQ
