The Best Serums for Skin Brightening

Searching for the best serums for skin brightening? You're in the right place. 

We're doing a round up of the best brightening serums on the market for every skin type. 

 

WHAT IS BRIGHTENING? 

The term skin ‘brightening’ cops a fair bit of flack online. That's because a lot of people think it refers to bleaching or whitening the skin. 

However, the word "whitening" is really just a bit of a failed translation from Korean. In reality, Korean skin care does not use bleaching ingredients like hydroquinone. What it should refer to is products that have specific ingredients (like niacinamide and Vitamin C) to help brighten the skin. Brightening products are excellent for people that have things like hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scars, dark spots, or freckles.

If you're still confused, tune into this episode of the Korean Beauty Show podcast to find out more:

 

 

WHO SHOULD USE BRIGHTENING SERUMS?

Firstly, brightening products are ideal for anyone who lives in a place with a lot of sun or harsh UV (think Australia, South East Asia and sub-tropical parts of the US). 

If you are starting to notice unwanted sunspots, or have dark spots and scars left over from previous bouts of acne then this is for you.

Adding a brightening serum into your routine can be a great option.

 

What Are The Best Serums for Skin Brightening?

We’ve compiled a list of our favourite brightening serums for all skin types:

 

Best Skin Brightening Serum For Normal Skin – SOME BY MI Yuja Niacin Serum 

This serum is great for those with normal skin because it contains 12 types of vitamins which relieve stressed skin.

The formulation absorbs easily and leaves no traces of sticky residue. It is made with 82% Yuja extract (a fruit that's naturally high in Vitamin C) and 5% Niacinamide.

As a result, it revitalises and brightens dull skin. Panthenol and Avocado Fruit Extract also make this a great serum for anti-ageing benefits.

 

Best Skin Brightening Serum for Pigmented Skin – Be Jelly Overnight Dream Serum

If your skin is dull, uneven and patchy then it's time to bring out the big guns - retinol. 

Enriched with Retinol, Collagen, Squalane, 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid, and Licorice extract, this jelly-textured serum works overnight to smooth texture, even tone, and target areas of dark discolouration so that you wake up to the complexion of your dreams.

It's ideal to help refine your skin texture and diminishes signs of aging.

Best of all, when it's to restock you can save money by grabbing this handy refill!
