APLB Kojic Acid Vitamin C Ampoule Serum 40ML

This ampoule serum features a concentrated blend of powerful ingredients, with a focus on KOJIC VITA CEN complex (49.1%), which combines:

• Kojic Acid Dipalmitate: A well-known skin-brightening agent derived from fungi. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme crucial for melanin production, thereby helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.
• Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid): A potent antioxidant that complements Kojic Acid by further brightening the skin, boosting collagen synthesis for improved firmness, and protecting the skin from environmental damage and free radicals.
• Centella Asiatica Extract and Centella 3x Complex (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid): These “Cica” components are included for their remarkable soothing, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties. They help to calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and support the skin’s barrier function, making the serum suitable even for sensitive skin that might be prone to irritation from brightening ingredients.
  Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile ingredient that further enhances brightening, helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, regulates sebum production, and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Provides deep hydration, drawing moisture into the skin to plump it up and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
• Squalane: An excellent emollient that mimics the skin’s natural oils, offering moisture without feeling greasy and helping to improve overall skin texture.
• Beta-Glucan: Another hydrating and soothing ingredient that aids in skin barrier repair.

The APLB Kojic Acid Vitamin C Ampoule Serum boasts a lightweight, non-sticky, and fast-absorbing texture, allowing it to penetrate effectively without leaving a residue. It is formulated to be slightly acidic (pH close to healthy skin) and is free from common irritants such as fragrance, artificial coloring, mineral oil, parabens, and sulfates. This “clean beauty” approach, often with EWG green grade ingredients, makes it a gentle option for those seeking effective brightening without excessive irritation.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing and toning: Dispense a moderate amount of the serum (typically 2-3 drops) onto your fingertips.
2. Apply to face: Gently apply the serum evenly over your entire face. For targeted concerns, you can apply an extra dab to dark spots.
3. Pat for absorption: Lightly pat the serum into your skin until it is fully absorbed.
4. Follow with moisturizer: Continue with your regular skincare routine, applying a moisturizer to seal in the benefits.
5. Use daily: For optimal results, use the serum both in your morning and evening routines. It’s especially crucial to use sunscreen daily when incorporating brightening ingredients like Kojic Acid and Vitamin C into your routine.
