The key to a natural glow, inspired by the Joseon-era practice of beautifying with rice water. We formulated this serum with alpha arbutin and rice bran water to gently address overall dullness while targeting dark spots. Leaves skin looking dewy, glowy, and healthy.
Targets Dark Spots
Address overall dullness and dark spots with alpha arbutin.

Key Ingredients
Rice Bran Water
Boosts moisture for a dewy, glowy finish. Rich in amino acids and minerals.
Alpha-Arbutin
If you have sensitive skin, we recommend a 24-hour patch test before use.
Wear under sunscreen during the day.
Apply a few drops of serum to clean hands and gently pat into the skin for better absorption, then follow with moisturizer.
Recommended for evening use only — avoid direct contact between the dropper and your skin to maintain hygiene.
Clinical Results
Clinically proven to be non-irritating.*
*According to a Sensitive Skin 24hr Patch Test conducted by Korea Dermatology Research Institute on 33 subjects.
Alpha-Arbutin vs Beta-Arbutin [Arbutin] Arbutin is obtained by reacting glucose with hydroquinone extracted from bilberry leaves, cranberry leaves, pear leaves, bear berries, and blueberries, which are native to mountainous regions....
We designed this serum for all skin types, especially anyone in need of a brightening boost. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend conducting a patch test to ensure your skin type is compatible with alpha arbutin before regular use.
What products should I use with this serum?
For a full brightening skincare routine, pair it with our Revive Eve Serum and Ginseng Essence Water.
Can I use this serum during the day and at night?
We recommend incorporating this serum in your evening skincare routine only, since alpha arbutin can be vulnerable to light and heat.
How should I store this serum?
To keep the formula stable, avoid direct sunlight and store your bottle in a cool, dark place and use regularly immediately after opening.
