Glow Deep Serum: Rice & Alpha Arbutin
Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum — Rice + Alpha-Arbutin is a feather-light brightening treatment that bathes skin in 68 % rice-bran water and 2 % alpha-arbutin to fade dark spots, even tone and restore the dynasty-era “rice water” glow. Amino-acid-rich rice hydrates and softens, while high-potency alpha-arbutin blocks excess melanin for a luminous, porcelain-smooth complexion.
Benefits:
- Spot-fading power — 2 % alpha-arbutin visibly reduces pigmentation and post-blemish marks.
- Glass-rice radiance — 68 % rice-bran water delivers minerals & amino acids for dewy clarity.
- Tone uniformity — niacinamide and soybean/barley extracts brighten dull, uneven areas.
- Feather-light hydration — trehalose, panthenol and glycerin keep skin plump without heaviness.
- Barrier-friendly formula — non-sticky, fragrance-free gel sinks in fast—ideal for layering.
