Korean Brightening Serums
Korean ‘glass skin’ stands for clear, even skin that seems to glow from within. Korean brightening serums help you get there with ingredients like rice, arbutin and niacinamide, so discolouration and a dull complexion are less noticeable. They’re usually lightweight and easy to combine with the rest of your routine. Here you’ll find every Korean brightening serum at Boozyshop.
Korean brightening serums: K-beauty glow with rice and niacinamide
Rice and arbutin
Rice has been a beloved ingredient for clear skin in Korea for centuries. The Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum Rice + Arbutin combines rice extract with arbutin, a gentle alternative for anyone who reacts to strong actives.
Vitamin C and niacinamide
- Vitamin C: adds glow and helps with a dull complexion, like the Goodal Green Tangerine Vita C Dark Spot Care Serum and the COSRX The Vitamin C 23 Serum. More under vitamin C.
- Niacinamide: fades the look of discolouration and is gentle enough for daily use, like the Anua Peach 70% Niacinamide Serum. More under niacinamide.
- Combinations: the AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum is made for dark spots.
Patience and sun protection
A more even skin tone doesn’t happen overnight; give your serum a few weeks. Without sun protection, spots come back quickly, so always wear Korean SPF during the day. To boost the effect, add a Korean brightening toner.
