Shiseido HAKU Medicated Stratum-Care Serum

$55.00

Brand	SHISEIDO
Type	Medicated stratum-care serum (quasi-drug)
Size	120 mL bottle, 110 mL refill
Active Ingredients	4MSK, dipotassium glycyrrhizate
Use	After toner, morning and night
Made In	Japan

A smooth, slippery lotion-type serum for your face
The serum has a thick lotion-type texture that glides over the skin. Circle it on with a cotton pad after toner, and it spreads evenly over your whole face without dragging.
A medicated whitening active that helps prevent spots
4MSK, or potassium 4-methoxysalicylate, is the medicated whitening active. The listing says it helps prevent spots and freckles by inhibiting melanin production, so the step does real work before your serum.
Rich moisture that softens the surface layer
The maker describes moisture that loosens the stratum corneum, the skin's surface layer. Trimethylglycine and a matured moisturizing complex keep your skin soft and smooth, so the next step in your routine goes on more easily.
Dipotassium glycyrrhizate to help prevent rough skin
The listing names dipotassium glycyrrhizate as an active ingredient that helps prevent rough skin. It adds comfort to a step that you use morning and night, on all of your face.
Three pumps on a cotton pad after toner
Take three pumps of the dispenser onto a cotton pad after toner, then circle it gently over the whole face. Use it before your brightening serum, morning and night, for an easy two-minute routine.
A refill pouch that keeps your bottle in use
The 110 mL refill carries the same serum, so you keep your bottle and refill it when it runs low. That saves cost over time and uses less packaging than buying a new bottle each time.

STORAGE

Store with the cap closed, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures and out of reach of infants.

SHELF LIFE

We ship with a minimum of 6 months remaining shelf life.

PREPARATION

IMPORTANT

Quick Answer

This HAKU Medicated Stratum-Care Serum is a quasi-drug lotion-type serum used after toner and before a brightening serum. Its active ingredient 4MSK helps prevent spots and freckles by inhibiting melanin production, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate helps prevent rough skin. It is sold as a 120 mL bottle or a 110 mL refill, made in Japan.

The Serum Layerer

You already use a brightening serum and want a prep step ahead of it. This serum goes on first, after toner, so your next step meets softened skin.

The Refill Saver

You buy refills to cut waste and cost. The refill pouch carries 110 mL of the same serum, so you keep your bottle and pour it back in when needed.

The Label Reader

Your skin reacts easily, so you read the ingredient list first. The full list is shown here, including ethanol and phenoxyethanol, so you can check it before ordering.

The Cool-Season Layerer

You find a richer serum comfortable when the air is cool and dry. Its thick, slippery texture suits those months, and you can use it morning and night.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this serum?

After your toner, morning and night, take three pumps of the dispenser onto a cotton pad and spread it gently and slowly over your whole face in circles. Then press your hands over the face to settle the moisture. The maker suggests using it before a brightening serum, so apply it first, then continue with your usual routine, including lotion and cream.

What are the active ingredients?

The two active ingredients are 4MSK, which is potassium 4-methoxysalicylate, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate. The listing says 4MSK inhibits melanin production to help prevent spots and freckles, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate helps prevent rough skin. As a quasi-drug it separates actives from other ingredients, and we show the complete list on this page so you can check every ingredient before you decide whether this serum suits your skin.

Is it sticky?

The serum is a thick, slippery lotion-type serum, and some people find it sticky, especially in summer or when layered with a serum afterwards. Others like the soft feel it leaves. Everyone's skin differs, so try it in your usual routine, and stop using it if you notice itching, redness or irritation, then consult a dermatologist, so that any problem is checked early.

What is the difference between the bottle and the refill?

The bottle is 120 mL with a dispenser, and the refill is a 110 mL pouch of the same serum. Both carry the same formula, so choose the bottle if this is your first purchase, or the refill if you already own the bottle and want to refill it, keeping the pump to measure three pumps each time, so your routine stays exactly the same.

Does it contain alcohol or fragrance?

The ingredient list includes ethanol and phenoxyethanol, and it does not list a fragrance. Please read the full list on this page before ordering. Choose another product if your skin reacts to any listed ingredient, and stop using this one if irritation appears, and consult a dermatologist if redness or swelling continues after you stop using it, because skin reactions can differ.
