Product overview
Key Ingredients
We found two independent ingredient-database listings for this product that conflict with each other and could not be resolved. Both agree on a core set of actives -- Water, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Sodium Hyaluronate, and Prunus Lannesiana (Sakura) Flower Extract -- along with shared preservatives and stabilizers (Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Ethylhexylglycerin, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Triethanolamine, Fragrance). However, one source additionally lists Malic Acid, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Citric Acid, and Potassium Hydroxide (suggesting an AHA-exfoliating component) with colorant CI 16255, while the other source does not include these AHA-related ingredients at all and instead lists a different colorant, Red 4 (CI 14700). No official brand-published full ingredient panel was found to resolve this conflict. Given this discrepancy, we are not presenting either list as a confirmed, definitive formula -- buyers with known sensitivities should check the physical product packaging.
Key Features
A brightening serum built around Niacinamide, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), and Sakura (cherry blossom) Flower Extract, positioned to target dullness and dark spots, with Sodium Hyaluronate included for hydration.
Benefits
Niacinamide and Ascorbic Acid are both well-established ingredients for supporting a brighter, more even-looking skin tone, and Sodium Hyaluronate provides hydration. If the AHA-related ingredients noted above (Malic Acid, Citric Acid) are genuinely present, they would also contribute mild chemical exfoliation, though this cannot be confirmed given the conflicting source data.
Who Can Use This Product
Marketed as suitable for all skin types, particularly dull or aging-concerned skin. Given the unresolved ingredient list -- including the possibility of AHA exfoliants in the formula -- we recommend a patch test before regular use, and particular caution for those with sensitive skin or known reactions to Vitamin C serums or fruit acids.
How to Use
Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin, typically after cleansing and before moisturizer, gently patting until absorbed. Use once or twice daily. Given the Vitamin C content, morning application with sunscreen or evening application per personal preference are both common approaches.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as Vitamin C serums can degrade with light and heat exposure. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction occurs, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

A: Given the unresolved ingredient list and possible presence of fruit acids, we recommend a patch test before regular use, particularly for sensitive skin.
Q: How should this serum be used?
A: Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin once or twice daily, and use sunscreen during the day given the Vitamin C content.
Q: How should this product be stored?
