The effects of salicylic acid on the skin are simply amazing, aren't they? So are the effects of the serum: Cos De BAHA S4 Salicylic Acid BHA 4% Serum. This serum contains 4% salicylic acid, which primarily helps in treating acne due to its powerful antibacterial properties! As salicylic acid works deep within the layers of the skin, particularly inside the pores, this serum helps dissolve accumulated impurities and blackheads. On the other hand, this serum offers minimization and soothing of any skin irritation, in conjunction with aloe vera leaf extract. Regular use of this serum promotes increased elasticity and promises an even, clear complexion. This serum also contains niacinamide, which helps reduce pore size and fade post-acne spots. It is suitable for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.

Its formula has been dermatologically tested and does not contain harmful and irritating ingredients for the skin, such as: alcohol, sulfates, parabens, artificial fragrances, artificial colorants, essential oils, and is cruelty-free.

Usage

Use 2-3 times a week after applying toner or essence. Apply 1-2 drops to your hands and spread it over your face, neck, and décolletage, until the skin has fully absorbed it. Continue with the next steps of your routine.

*Tip: Since sensitivity to glycolic acid varies from person to person, we suggest testing the product on a small area first before using it. To test, apply a small amount behind the ear or under the chin and wait for 2-3 minutes. If no discomfort appears, you can continue to use it without worry.

If enlarged pores and uneven skin tone are the issues you want to address, you need to add the serum: Cos De BAHA N Niacinamide 10 Serum to your routine. This serum is formulated with 10% niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, which plays a very special role in building skin proteins. On the other hand, this ingredient strengthens the protective barrier by creating a lipid layer in the skin that enables moisture retention. Niacinamides are known for their powerful properties in reducing pore size, treating post-acne hyperpigmentation, and stimulating collagen production. Meanwhile, the niacinamide + zinc combination treats inflamed acne, scars, and keeps excess sebum in check, which often tends to create whiteheads or oily spots on the skin. Additionally, this formulation reduces inflammation and redness, thanks to the inclusion of aloe vera leaf extract. It is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

Its formula is dermatologically tested and does not contain harmful and irritating ingredients for the skin, such as: alcohol, sulfates, parabens, artificial fragrance, artificial colorants, essential oils.

This serum is formulated with 0.5% pure retinol (Vitamin A) and is absorbed instantly by the skin, leaving it feeling as soft as silk.

MARY & MAY Hyaluronics Serum is specifically designed to provide your skin with hydration and moisture! This serum's formulation features 6 different types of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, crafted to penetrate all layers of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is often dubbed the "king" of hydration due to its exceptional moisture-retaining properties! Think about newborns, whose skin is soft and elastic. This is because their skin is rich in hyaluronic acid. Unfortunately, as we age, the levels of hyaluronic acid naturally decline. This leads to a loss of moisture and elasticity in the skin, making it easier for wrinkles to appear. With this serum, your skin will radiate! It is suitable for all skin types! The serum has a non-comedogenic formulation and is safe for use during pregnancy.

Its formula is hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, and free from harmful or irritating ingredients for the skin, such as: alcohol, parabens, silicones, sulfates, artificial fragrances, or essential oils.

Brand

Beauty of Joseon is a skincare brand inspired by the beauty of women during the Joseon Dynasty in Korea. During that time, women focused extensively on skincare, aiming to maintain clean and healthy skin rather than hiding it under heavy makeup. The essence of these women’s beauty was documented in the Gyuhap Chongseo, an encyclopedia of beauty from the Joseon Dynasty, written by Yi Bingheogak, a female scholar from a prestigious family in 1809, which described women as having a healthy and radiant complexion. Thus, the brand interprets its skincare products through the lens of blending the magic of traditional plants containing Hanbang (traditional Korean herbal medicine) with modern ingredients that are scientifically supported.

Thanks to the success of the toner I'M FROM Rice Toner, this serum line has been created: I'M FROM Rice Serum! This serum is “magical,” formulated with 73% fermented rice germ extract, which retains 65% more nutritional value, even though it is smaller in size than traditional rice grains. This serum provides the skin with soothing, hydration, and a radiant appearance by evening out skin tone and lightening all types of skin hyperpigmentation! On the other hand, the composition containing linoleic acid strengthens the natural barrier, enhancing elasticity. The formulation with niacinamide balances excessive sebum production in the skin, minimizes pores, and also lightens dark spots! Meanwhile, hyaluronic acid offers deep hydration at all layers of the skin! This serum is rich in vitamin B and powerful antioxidants, which promote collagen production, keeping signs of aging in check and improving skin texture! For maximum effects, we recommend using it with the toner from the line: I'M FROM Rice Toner & the cream: I'M FROM Rice Cream. Suitable for all skin types, especially those addressing hyperpigmentation and signs of aging. This serum has a hypoallergenic formula, is non-comedogenic, and is safe for use during pregnancy.

This work describes women as having a healthy and radiant complexion. Thus, the brand takes inspiration from this heritage, interpreting skincare products that primarily focus on combining the magic of traditional plants containing Hanbang (traditional Korean herbal medicine) with modern, scientifically-backed ingredients.

Beauty of Joseon is a skincare brand inspired by the elegance of women during the Korean Joseon Dynasty. During this time, women prioritized skincare to maintain a clean and healthy complexion rather than conceal it with heavy makeup. The secret to their beauty was documented in the Gyuhap Chongseo, revered as the encyclopedia of beauty from the Joseon Dynasty, written by Yi Bingheogak, a female scholar from a distinguished family in 1809.

Thus, the brand creates skincare products that expertly blend the wonders of traditional plants containing Hanbang (traditional Korean herbal medicine) with modern, scientifically-supported ingredients.

The newest serum just launched by COSRX, The Vitamin C 23 Serum, is exclusively available at KORAL SECRETS! Formulated with a potent 23% pure vitamin C, this serum easily targets post-acne marks, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and skin dehydration. Vitamin C is known for its powerful antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radicals and various cellular damage. Furthermore, it stimulates collagen production to improve the signs of aging, boost elasticity, and prevent the formation of fine lines. Vitamin C also blocks the overproduction of melanin, which can easily occur from exposure to harmful UV rays. But it doesn’t stop here! The formula includes tocotrienol (vitamin E), which has antioxidant effects up to 50 times more powerful than tocopherol. The interaction between vitamins C and E doubles their effectiveness on the skin! Your skin will always feel hydrated thanks to the inclusion of hyaluronic acid, which maintains optimal moisture levels. This serum can also be easily used by individuals with sensitive skin, thanks to allantoin, which soothes and reduces inflammation. Just like vitamins C and E, this ingredient fights free radicals, adding antioxidant effects to this serum. This product is safe for use during pregnancy and suitable for all skin types.

The formula is hypoallergenic, vegan, dermatologically tested, and free from harmful and irritating ingredients such as parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances.
