What it is
This is a refill for a medicated whitening*2 serum that promotes the excretion of clogged melanin*1, the cause of stubborn blemishes, for clearer, more radiant skin. It focuses on the fact that skin turnover slows in areas with blemishes, causing melanin to become clogged deep within the skin*3. It employs a formula that directly targets blockages deep within the skin. Deep directors (Geranium Robinia extract, Starfruit leaf extract) inhibit the production of clogged melanin, while their powerful penetrating power delivers whitening ingredients and fast-acting vitamin C derivatives directly to the source of blemishes. It penetrates deeply and leaves skin feeling fresh and dry, making it an excellent companion to any skincare product. It has a light texture that can be used comfortably all year round. ● Oil-free, fragrance-free, and colorant-free ● No surfactants ● Quasi-drug Contents: 28mL Country of origin: Japan *1 Suppresses excessive melanin *2 production, preventing blemishes and freckles *3 Even melanocytes

My dark spots have faded since I started using it. It's not sticky and feels light, but I love how moisturizing it is and how it leaves my skin feeling plump and unshaken. I also use other serums afterwards, but this has become one of my essential items!
To be honest, I'm not sure if it's incredibly effective, but I believe it helps prevent it, so I've been using it for over 10 years♪ I love that it's oil-free and doesn't interfere with the feel of my other skincare products!!
It feels very light and refreshing when applied. It may be good for summer, but I feel it lacks a bit of moisture. It's perfect for morning use. I'm not sure about the whitening effect. The size is convenient for carrying around, so it's great for traveling.
I also use Orbis sunscreen, so I bought this to try it out. It has a refreshing feel and is light to the touch. It feels a little lacking for the dry winter weather. However, the package is small, so it might be good to carry it around and refill it frequently.
