Product Description

COSRX The Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum

COSRX The Alpha-Arbutin 2 Discoloration Care Serum is a targeted facial serum for the appearance of post-breakout marks, dark spots, dullness, and uneven skin tone. The formula combines 2% alpha-arbutin with 3% tranexamic acid, 5% niacinamide, and 2% N-acetylglucosamine (NAG), alongside hydrating ingredients, to support a clearer, more even-looking complexion.

Key Features

• 2% alpha-arbutin to target the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone.
• 3% tranexamic acid and 5% niacinamide for discoloration-focused care.
• 2% N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) to complement the brightening formula.
• Suitable for concerns including post-acne marks, sun-related discoloration, and general dullness.
• Lightweight, daily-use serum format.
• Approx. 50 ml / 1.69 fl oz.

How to Use

1. Cleanse your face and pat dry.
2. Apply 2–3 drops evenly across the face or concentrate gently on areas of discoloration.
3. Allow the serum to absorb fully.
4. Follow with moisturizer.
5. Use once daily at first; if your skin tolerates it well, use morning and night. COSRX states that the product can be layered 2–3 times for more intensive care, but one layer is generally sufficient for most routines.
6. During the day, finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Daily sunscreen is essential when treating pigmentation because UV exposure can worsen or recreate dark spots.

Important Safety

• For external use only.
• Patch-test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes, lips, and broken or irritated skin.
• Introduce gradually and avoid combining with multiple strong exfoliants or retinoids in the same routine if irritation occurs.
• Stop use if persistent redness, burning, itching, or swelling develops.
• Consistent use and sun protection are needed; visible changes in discoloration develop gradually over weeks, not overnight.
