Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum Rice + Alpha-Arbutin

Product Information

I am not a dermatologist or licensed aesthetician, but I have sufficient experience and knowledge I gained by testing multiple products and self-exploration. Unsure? Best to consult your dermatologist. The most famous and bioactive flavonoids in soybeans are the isoflavones called genistein and diadzeinthat have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Genistein is also proven to inhibit UV induced redness in human skin. These isoflavones are also the ones that make soy a phytoestrogen, meaning they have a (weak) estrogenic effect. Topical estrogen is known to decrease skin thinning and collagen loss and soy might be able to do the same, especially during and after menopause when natural estrogen levels run low.

Eur J Pharm Sci. 2013 Dec 18;50(5):638-45. doi: 10.1016/j.ejps.2013.04.022. Epub 2013 May 3. PMID: 23643739.

At this stage of my skincare journey, I need more than just 2% Alpha Arbutin in my pigmentation serums. Bissett, D. L., K. Miyamoto, P. Sun, J. Li, and C. A. Berge. “ Topical niacinamide reduces yellowing, wrinkling, red blotchiness, and hyperpigmented spots in aging facial skin 1.” International journal of cosmetic science26, no. 5 (2004): 231-238. During the times I used the samples, I was surprised to find out how these serums significantly calmed down my inflamed skin. In particular, the Calming Serum with green tea and panthenol was an absolute joy to help hydrate and give my irritated skin some relief. I’d dispense a dropper-full or two onto my palm and pat the serum over my skin. And as a side note, I would also mix a few drops of serum into my CC cream to prevent dry patches or flakes, while simultaneously giving a glass-skin-like glow. The HighlightsAlpha Arbutin takes forever to fade hyperpigmentation and is best paired with other Tyrosinase Inhibitors like Kojic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Azelaic Acid, etc. Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum is here to provide you with glowing, radiant honey skin even for acne-prone skin.

Guide on Best Humectants in Skincare Which Are the Best Humectants for Skin? by Alyssa Tan for Garden of Muses Glycerin Softens. Glycerin softens the skin so other hydrating ingredients can more easily penetrate the skin. However, there’s a downside to that speed. It is harsher than retinol, so may cause sensitivity for some. We recommend you do a patch test of this product first before applying it. As I mentioned, I don’t have many expectations based on my experience using these ingredients, so I don’t expect it to deliver magically.

Arbutin is particularly effective in fading melasma, and a concentration of 3% is the most effective for fading this type of hyperpigmentation.
