Features

20 mL Quasi‑Drug Serum (Japan): A 20 mL tube classified as a quasi‑drug, meaning it meets Japanese safety standards and is made in Japan.

Contains 3 Stable Vitamin C Derivatives: Includes 3‑O‑ethyl ascorbic acid, ascorbyl glucoside, and vitamin C tetraisopalmitate for deep skin penetration.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl) Added: Vitamin B6 helps calm inflammation and supports overall skin health.

Allantoin for Soothing Effect: Allantoin reduces irritation and promotes skin healing.

Vitamin E Antioxidant Boost: Vitamin E adds extra antioxidant protection against daily stressors.

Benefits

Brightens dark spots for a clearer complexion: The three stable vitamin C derivatives penetrate deep into the skin to help reduce melanin production, supporting a smoother, more even-looking complexion with continued use.

Calms irritation with soothing ingredients: Allantoin and vitamin B6 work together to soothe irritation, giving a comfortable, calm feeling after each application.

Provides trusted Japanese quasi‑drug safety: The product’s quasi‑drug classification means Japan’s Ministry of Health reviewed its safety and efficacy, so you can trust it won’t cause harmful reactions. You feel confident using a regulated formula.

Delivers consistent results with multi‑pathway delivery: The three vitamin C forms each penetrate via a different route, giving steady, layered brightening support without the typical fade-out of single-form serums.

Supports skin health with antioxidant protection: Vitamin E and citrus extracts add antioxidant support to the formula, helping shield skin from daily oxidative stress.

How to Use

Dispense a pea‑sized amount onto clean fingertips.

Gently smooth over face and neck, avoiding eyes.
