The Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Alpha-Arbutin is a lightweight, brightening facial serum specifically formulated to target dullness, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots and post-acne scars. It draws inspiration from the Joseon-era practice of using rice water (migamsu) for beautiful skin.
Key Ingredients and Their Functions
This serum’s effectiveness comes from its powerful combination of traditional Hanbang ingredients and modern brighteners:
-
Rice Bran Water (68%):

Function: Deep Hydration and Nourishment.
