Lilac Brightening Serum with 2% Alpha Arbutin and 1% Kojic Acid 30ml30ml

Key Ingredients

• Alpha Arbutin: the second-listed ingredient (right after water), consistent with a meaningful concentration; used in skincare for its skin-brightening, even-tone-supporting reputation
• Kojic Acid: the third-listed ingredient; a well-known brightening ingredient, often paired with Alpha Arbutin for tone-evening support
• Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract: included for its soothing and brightening-supportive reputation
• Sodium Hyaluronate: included for hydration and moisture support
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice: included for its soothing, hydrating properties
• Important note on marketed concentrations: the product is marketed as containing "2% Alpha Arbutin" and "1% Kojic Acid." MedEasy could not independently lab-verify these exact percentages for this specific SKU from a manufacturer datasheet; the ingredient order (Alpha Arbutin and Kojic Acid listed immediately after water) is indirectly consistent with a meaningful concentration, but the precise figures should be treated as a brand claim rather than an independently confirmed fact
• Full confirmed INCI list: Aqua, Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Propanediol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Triethanolamine, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Hydroxide, EDTA, Citric Acid

Key Features

• Brightening serum combining Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, and Licorice Root Extract
• Formulated with Sodium Hyaluronate and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice for hydration and soothing support
• Important sourcing note -- unresolved origin discrepancy: MedEasy found two different, independently-sourced claims about this product's country of origin: one retailer (Shajgoj) lists it as "Made in P.R.C" (China), while another (Daraz Bangladesh) lists it as "Made in Bangladesh, formulation developed in Thailand." MedEasy could not resolve this conflict from available sources and discloses it here rather than asserting either origin as definitive
• The brand's parent company could not be independently confirmed; any resemblance to a separately-found "Lilac Group" or "Lilac Beauty" entity should not be assumed to indicate the same company without further verification

Benefits

• Alpha Arbutin and Kojic Acid together are commonly used in skincare for supporting a more even-looking skin tone with regular, consistent use
• Licorice Root Extract may offer additional soothing and tone-supporting benefits
• Sodium Hyaluronate and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice help support hydration alongside the brightening actives
• Results from brightening actives are typically gradual and vary by individual; consistent daytime sun protection is essential to support and maintain any tone-evening benefit

Who Can Use This Product

• Adults looking to address uneven skin tone or dark spots with an Alpha Arbutin and Kojic Acid combination
• Those new to Kojic Acid should introduce it gradually and monitor for sensitivity, as Kojic Acid can increase photosensitivity
• Not recommended for broken, irritated, or sunburned skin
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a doctor before use, as with any active skincare ingredient
• Those with known sensitivities to any listed ingredient should patch-test before regular use

How to Use

• Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin, typically in the evening
• Gently pat or massage until absorbed
• Follow with a moisturizer
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, as brightening actives like Kojic Acid can increase sun sensitivity
• Introduce gradually (e.g. every other night) if new to brightening actives, to assess tolerance

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Keep out of reach of children
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs
• Perform a patch test before first use if you have known sensitivities
• Daytime sunscreen use is strongly recommended while using this product, due to increased photosensitivity risk from Kojic Acid
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor or dermatologist if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction develops
