This serum targets dark spots and uneven tone with a mix of ascorbyl glucoside (a stable vitamin C derivative), niacinamide, and salicylic acid, which work together on discoloration while keeping pores clear. Licorice root and mushroom extracts add more brightening support, and the lightweight, silicone-based texture absorbs quickly enough to wear under sunscreen and makeup. Meant for visible results with consistent use over several weeks.
