Made in JAPAN
40mL
Released March 17, 2026
Contains kojic acid, a whitening active ingredient.
This brightening serum has a rich, concentrated moisturizing base that melts into the skin.
The whitening active ingredient penetrates deep into the stratum corneum, suppressing melanin production and preventing blemishes and freckles, while leading to plump, bouncy skin with a clear, translucent glow.
Cryptochrome is a bioluminescent component present in all cells that becomes activated when it absorbs blue light. To promote the production of cryptochrome within melanocytes, which powerfully suppresses melanin production, a whitening serum has been created that incorporates our unique moisturizing ingredient, "Cryptocomplex."
[Quasi-drugs]
Cosmetics and quasi-drugs categories
In Japan, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour & Welfare classifies the beauty products under 2 categories: cosmetics and quasi-drugs. Quasi-drugs, in opposite to cosmetics, are medicated, have a mild pharmacologic effect and include active ingredients. If the product is approved as a quasi-drug by the ministry, the manufacturer is allowed to actually claim the effectiveness of the product.
