Description
Key Ingredients
- Hydroquinone (2%): the headline skin-brightening active in this serum. IMPORTANT REGULATORY CONTEXT: Hydroquinone is banned as a cosmetic ingredient in the European Union. In the United States, the FDA determined in 2020 that no over-the-counter Hydroquinone skin-lightening product, at any concentration, is Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective -- Hydroquinone is now available in the US only by prescription. Long-term or excessive use has been linked to ochronosis, a potentially permanent blue-black skin discoloration. MedEasy did not find a specific Bangladesh regulatory ruling on this ingredient, but presents this product with the caution its international regulatory status warrants
- Arbutin, Niacinamide, Kojic Acid: additional brightening-supportive ingredients confirmed in the formula; these are more widely accepted, evidence-backed brightening actives compared to Hydroquinone
- Salicylic Acid: a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) also present in the confirmed ingredient list, contributing mild exfoliation
- Also contains Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, Propanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), Lactic Acid, and Disodium EDTA per the confirmed panel; some retailer listings additionally cite botanical extracts such as Witch Hazel, Rosemary, and Eucalyptus
Key Features
- Manufactured by Cos De BAHA, a South Korean skincare brand, with production at a specialized South Korean skincare manufacturing facility per the brand's own statement
- This product should be approached as a stronger, medical-grade-adjacent brightening treatment rather than a routine daily cosmetic, given the international regulatory controversy around its headline active ingredient
- Sold under the "(HB)" designation; a separately-listed non-"HB" version with a similar name and ingredient profile also exists -- these should not be assumed identical without checking the physical packaging
Benefits
- Marketed to help support the appearance of a more even skin tone in areas of visible discoloration, through a combination of Hydroquinone, Arbutin, Niacinamide, and Kojic Acid
- MedEasy does not present this as a claim that the product treats, cures, or removes any specific skin condition. Given Hydroquinone's mixed international regulatory standing, any use for a diagnosed skin condition such as melasma should be discussed with a dermatologist first, rather than self-directed based on marketing claims alone
Who Can Use This Product
- MedEasy recommends consulting a dermatologist or doctor before starting this product, particularly given Hydroquinone's restricted/prescription-only status in several major regulatory markets
- Not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without medical guidance
- Not recommended for continuous, indefinite daily use -- see usage guidance below on cycling on and off this product
- A patch test is strongly recommended before first use
- Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation, unusual discoloration, or an allergic reaction occurs
How to Use
- Patch test on a small area before first use
- Apply to clean skin at night; consider starting with every-other-day use rather than nightly use, and increase frequency only as tolerated
- Daily sunscreen use on treated areas is mandatory, as Hydroquinone increases photosensitivity and unprotected sun exposure can worsen the discoloration being targeted
- Per commonly-cited usage protocols for Hydroquinone products, use is generally limited to a maximum of around 60 consecutive days, followed by a break of about 30 days before resuming, to help reduce the risk of ochronosis; continuous, indefinite use is not recommended
- Discontinue and seek medical advice if irritation becomes severe or if any unusual skin discoloration develops
Storage & Safety
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Keep the bottle tightly closed after use
- Keep out of reach of children
- Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs
- Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation, unusual discoloration, or an allergic reaction develops
