COSRX The Alpha Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum

 
Hi Everyone!

Today is the time for a review. I have been working for several days. This serum contains an innovative combination of ingredients that are great for hyperpigmentation. The combination is Tranexamic Acid + Niacinamide + N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG). The first two are very well known for reducing melanin production and hyperpigmentation. This helps to stop the mechanism that causes the discoloration of the skin. The NAG, on the other hand, helps to improve the skin barrier because it is a precursor for the biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid, but I will stop with all the chemistry class.

COSRX The Alpha Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum

Ultimate Solution for all post-breakout concerns.
A high-potency, high-concentration serum for hyperpigmentation and scars.

Conclusions

My first impression of this serum is that it is liquid; there is an amber color and doesn´t have a smell or fragrance. It just smells like medicine, nothing strong. It is absorbed quickly into the skin, and the skin feels calm and moisturized. I don´t use cream after using this serum; it can be too drying, so I don´t use this one around my mouth or my eyes.

This product helps to heal acne scars, but it does not work on the pimple when it is active. This is important because after the pimple starts to heal this works amazingly. I only use this in the night routine because I prefer a good serum of Vitamin C in the morning, and I prefer not to combine these actives. This serum has a price of $25 without shipping. I highly recommend this serum if you are dealing with hyperpigmentation or discoloration.


RATING
★★★★★

  9. Oh yes it was really delicious.

    Interesting post, this serum sounds good. And it's a interesting fact that it doesn't work on active pimples :D
