A beloved cult classic from Beauty of Joseon. Propolis is a powerhouse anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that soothes post-acne redness while its deeply nourishing properties restore the skin barrier. Paired with Niacinamide, this serum brightens, calms, and hydrates in one step — making it the perfect all-rounder for anyone dealing with the aftermath of breakouts. The honey-like texture sinks in beautifully without stickiness.

Alpha-Arbutin is one of the most effective and gentle tyrosinase inhibitors — meaning it directly blocks the enzyme responsible for melanin production. Combined with rice bran water, which has been used in Korean beauty rituals for centuries for its brightening and softening properties, this serum delivers a deep, translucent glow that makes skin look lit from within. Ideal for stubborn dark patches and sun damage.

Azelaic Acid is the secret weapon for post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) — those stubborn pink and red marks that linger long after a pimple heals. At 10%, it effectively reduces redness, calms irritation, and inhibits the pigment cells causing discolouration. The addition of Hyaluronic Acid ensures your skin stays hydrated and plump throughout the brightening process. Gentle enough for even the most reactive skin types.

One of the highest-concentration Vitamin C serums on the market. At 63% Vitamin C, this is not for the faint-hearted — it's a targeted treatment for those dealing with deep, persistent hyperpigmentation and dullness.

The ultra-lightweight watery texture works in all climates and is particularly effective in humid conditions where heavy serums feel uncomfortable.

Green tangerine contains five times more Vitamin C than regular citrus, making this serum a formidable brightening treatment.

The fresh, light texture absorbs quickly and leaves a natural radiance — not greasy or heavy — perfect for daily use in Sri Lanka's climate.

Supported by Ceramide NP, Adenosine and Glutathione. Fragrance-free, vegan. Shake gently 3–5 times before use to distribute the retinal capsules.

A dual-acid treatment for deep, stubborn pigmentation. Azelaic Acid 10% blocks tyrosinase and calms inflammation that triggers dark spots.

Fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin. Use in your evening routine, always followed by SPF.
