The active it is built around is Kojic Acid, named thirty-second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Glycolic Acid and Gluconolactone, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Kojic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum Dr. Melaxin sells in Korea, Kojic Acid and all. ## How to use 1. Use the Peel Shot Exfoliating Kojic Acid Turmeric Serum on a clean face, avoiding the eye area. 2. Apply an appropriate amount on skin while avoiding eye area.

At the start of your routine, on a clean face: smooth it over the face avoiding the eyes, then rinse it off thoroughly with water and carry on with toner and the rest of your routine. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Kojic Acid and not three changes at once. ### Is this the Korean-market serum or a US version? The Korean-market one, Kojic Acid and all. We match this serum to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding. ### Does this serum contain fragrance? Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this serum is not the one. ### What else is on the list besides Kojic Acid? Niacinamide, Glycolic Acid and Gluconolactone. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Kojic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Ascorbic Acid, Coptis Japonica Root Extract and Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract. --- Page: https://korean-pharmacy.com/products/dr-melaxin-peel-shot-exfoliating-kojic-acid-turmeric-serum
