- Trehalose and glyceryl glucoside hold hydration in
- Light gel texture layers cleanly, AM and PM

## How it works

Beauty of Joseon builds the Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Alpha-Arbutin around Arbutin, Trehalose and Panthenol. Arbutin appears further down the list as the brightening active aimed at the look of dark spots and uneven tone, working alongside supporting humectants trehalose and glyceryl glucoside for hydration. Panthenol sits nearby for comfort. Because arbutin is light-sensitive, the brand recommends using this serum in the evening rather than the morning. The light gel texture is fragrance-free and alcohol-free, layering cleanly into either an AM or PM routine.

## How to use

1. Use the Glow Deep Serum: Rice + Alpha-Arbutin after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening.
2. Three or four drops covers the whole face. Press it in with flat palms instead of rubbing it around.
3. Toner first so the surface is damp, then this, then about a minute before your moisturizer goes over the top.
4. Twice a day, every day. Do not stack it with a second serum of the same kind; two hydrating serums in one routine do the work of one.

## FAQ

### Where does arbutin sit on this serum's ingredient list?

Arbutin appears on the list behind the rice bran water base, water, and the glycol carriers, positioned as the formula's brightening active. Panthenol and glyceryl glucoside sit nearby to carry the hydration and comfort side of the formula.

### Why is this recommended for evening use?

Arbutin is a light-sensitive ingredient, so the brand recommends using this serum at night rather than during the day. Following any evening brightening step with a morning sunscreen is the standard pattern Korean brands recommend for this class of active.

### Does this serum contain fragrance or alcohol?

No parfum, fragrance, or drying alcohol appears on this serum's own ingredient list. That fragrance-free, alcohol-free formulation is part of why it is positioned for layering into both AM and PM routines.

### What is the base ingredient of this serum?

Oryza Sativa (rice) bran water is the first ingredient, ahead of plain water, making it the structural liquid the rest of the formula is built on rather than a marketing flourish.

### How can I confirm this is the authentic Korean-market Beauty of Joseon formula, not a US reformulation?

Beauty of Joseon verifies its products by sourcing chain rather than a scan, because the brand has retired its own QR verification and is phasing out its authenticity seal. Your unit arrives with its Korean-market barcode and batch code intact, not swapped for an export label, and we publish exactly where we buy. That intact packaging is the record the brand itself points to now that its earlier scan-based check is gone.
