Description
The Light On Serum: Centella + Vitamin C is Beauty of Joseon’s take on a vitamin C serum for people who usually find vitamin C too harsh. It combines brightening vitamin C with centella asiatica, one of Korean skincare’s best-known calming botanicals.
Key ingredients
- Vitamin C – an antioxidant ingredient popular for a brighter, more radiant-looking complexion.
- Centella asiatica – helps the skin feel calm and comfortable.
- Hydrating ingredients – keep the serum gentle and non-drying.
Texture and finish
A lightweight serum that spreads easily and absorbs without stickiness, leaving the skin fresh and luminous.
Who it suits
Dull or tired-looking skin, uneven tone and post-blemish marks, including sensitive skin types that want to try vitamin C gently. It is also a good morning antioxidant step for city dwellers.
How to use it
AM (recommended): after cleansing and toner, apply 2–3 drops, then moisturizer and sunscreen – vitamin C and SPF are a classic morning pairing. PM: it can also be used at night; if you use a retinoid such as the Revive Eye Serum, keep vitamin C for the morning. Close the cap tightly and store it away from heat and light.
Who should skip it
If your skin is currently irritated, or you already use another vitamin C product, do not double up. Patch test before full use.
