Seoul 1988 Black Ginseng & 2% Nicotinamide Brightening Face Serum

Key Ingredients & Benefits

• 2% Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3): A gold-standard brightening ingredient that visibly minimises the appearance of dark spots, uneven skin tone, and discolouration while helping to balance sebum and refine pores.
• Black Ginseng Bio-Ferment: Utilises patented fermentation technology to maximise the bioavailability of ginseng saponins — delivering deep nourishment, antioxidant support, and a boost to skin's natural radiance and firmness.
• Triple Lipid Complex (Ceramides, Cholesterol & Fatty Acids): Works to fortify the skin's moisture barrier, locking in hydration and keeping skin feeling soft and supple.
• Adenosine & Peptides: Help reinforce skin resilience, visibly smoothing the appearance of fine lines and supporting a more youthful-looking complexion over time.
