I'm a beauty editor who loves fancy things. What can I say!? Which is why I was so stoked when I started testing this serum from Japanese brand SK-II. This hyperpigmentation-reducing serum uses niacinamide (which you know we <3 for gently brightening), as well as vitamin C and undecylenoyl phenylalanine, an amino-acid derived molecule that can potentially help hinder melanocyte production, which is what causes dark spots.
Plus, it also features the go-to SK-II Pitera essence, which is majorly rich in vitamins, amino acids, and minerals that can potentially help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, moisturize your skin, and fade dark spots. Basically, if you're into products that are loaded with cool, science-y stuff, you might like this (albeit, pricey) one. Not to mention, the bottle looks gorg on my vanity.
- Key ingredients: Niacinamide, vitamin C, Pitera essence, Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine
Glowing customer review: "I’ve been using this daily and it has helped brighten and even out my skintone. It does take continued use to see the best results but so far it has improved my skin."
