What it is
Capsule Serum CP Serum PV is a Japanese brightening serum, 30ml, suspended with visible capsules that break on application to release fresh glutathione. Smoothed over cleansed skin morning and night, it targets dullness and uneven tone while conditioning ingredients support firmness and a clearer, more radiant finish.
Why it's different
The glutathione is held in capsules and released fresh at the moment of use, rather than pre-mixed where it can degrade.
It pairs glutathione with arbutin and vitamin C derivatives, three brightening angles in one layer for tone and clarity.
Ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid round it out, so it conditions while it brightens.
Key ingredients
Glutathione: brightening active, released fresh from capsules for tone and clarity
Arbutin: helps even out dark spots and uneven tone
Vitamin C derivatives: antioxidant support for radiance
Niacinamide: conditions and supports an even-looking finish
How to use
1. Cleanse and tone first.
2. Dispense 2 to 3 pumps into your palm.
3. Smooth over the whole face, avoiding the eye area, until the capsules break and absorb.
4. Follow with moisturizer.
Use morning and night.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this authentic?
Yes. We only buy from official retailers and directly from the brands here in Japan. Never resellers, never grey market stock.
We are beauty lovers too, so we know the worry, especially with something you are putting on your face. Authenticity is 100% guaranteed by us.
Why are there capsules in the serum?
The capsules keep the glutathione separated until you apply it, so it is released fresh rather than sitting pre-mixed in the bottle where it can lose potency. They break as you smooth the serum in and absorb with the rest.
What does glutathione do for skin?
It is a brightening and antioxidant ingredient used to target dullness and uneven tone for a clearer, more radiant look. Here it is paired with arbutin and vitamin C derivatives, which work on tone from complementary angles.
When do I use this in my routine?
After cleansing and toning, before moisturizer. Use 2 to 3 pumps morning and night, avoiding the eye area. In the morning, follow with sunscreen, since brightening routines pair best with daily SPF.
Will it feel sticky or heavy?
No. It is a lightweight serum that absorbs once the capsules break, leaving skin conditioned rather than tacky. Ceramides and hyaluronic acid help it feel comfortable under moisturizer or makeup.
