Decorté was founded in Tokyo in 1970 with a simple philosophy: skin health is the foundation of beauty. The Phytotune Whitening Softener ER was created for a modern problem: oily skin that still feels dull and lacks clarity, often due to stress and environmental factors. Our researchers in Japan identified a specific botanical complex, the Phytotune Complex, to target this imbalance. Every batch is manufactured in a Japanese facility with GMP certification, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade precision. The formula's efficacy is backed by 8 clinical studies on Japanese skin. It has consistently ranked in the top 3 for 'Whitening Lotions for Oily Skin' in major Japanese beauty magazines for the past 3 years, proving its trusted performance.

The Decorté Phytotune Whitening Softener ER - Radiance for Oily Skin by Kose features a carefully curated blend of ingredients designed to address hyperpigmentation and excess sebum while promoting a luminous complexion. Key components include tranexamic acid, which inhibits melanin production to reduce dark spots and uneven skin tone, and salicylic acid, which exfoliates pores to control oiliness and prevent breakouts. The formula also incorporates niacinamide (vitamin B3) to strengthen the skin barrier, minimize redness, and regulate sebum secretion. Botanical extracts such as licorice root and mulberry provide antioxidant protection and further brighten the skin by suppressing tyrosinase activity. Additionally, hyaluronic acid and glycerin offer hydration without heaviness, ensuring moisture retention for a balanced, supple feel. This combination targets oily skin concerns by delivering clarifying, whitening, and moisturizing benefits, resulting in a clearer, more radiant appearance with regular use.
