A dark spot correcting glow serum is a skin treatment formulated to reduce hyperpigmentation, to even skin tone and enhance radiance. The specific ingredients, benefits, and usage instructions can vary between different brands, but many Korean and other formulas use niacinamide and natural extracts. 

How it works :

This serums function is by addressing the root causes of hyperpigmentation and promoting healthier, more radiant skin. 
  • Inhibits melanin production: Key ingredients like niacinamide and vitamin C work to regulate melanin synthesis, preventing the formation of new dark spots and reducing the appearance of existing ones.
  • Boosts cell turnover: Some formulas contain gentle exfoliating agents such as papaya extract, which help shed dead skin cells to reveal the fresher, brighter skin underneath.
  • Hydrates and soothes: Ingredients like plant-derived squalane and calendula lock in moisture, calm irritation, and strengthen the skin's protective barrier. This reduces inflammation that can lead to further discoloration.
  • Provides antioxidants: Antioxidants, such as those found in rice bran extract, fight free radicals that can worsen pigmentation and cause signs of aging. 
Common benefits :
  • Fades dark spots: Reduces the appearance of various forms of hyperpigmentation, including acne scars and sun spots.
  • Evens skin tone: Promotes a more uniform and balanced complexion over time with consistent use.
  • Boosts hydration: Many formulas contain hydrating ingredients that leave the skin soft, supple, and moisturized.
  • Enhances radiance: Gives the skin a healthy, dewy, and luminous glow.
  • Reduces inflammation: Soothing ingredients can calm redness and irritation, making them suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin. 
How to use :

For best results, incorporate the serum into your daily skincare routine.
  1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle cleanser to ensure a clean base for effective product penetration.
  2. Tone: Apply a toner if it is part of your routine. This can help prep the skin for the serum.
  3. Apply serum: Gently apply a small amount (a few drops) to your entire face or focus on specific areas with dark spots. Pat the serum in with your fingertips until fully absorbed.
  4. Moisturize: Follow up with your preferred moisturizer to seal in the serum's benefits.
  5. Use SPF (morning only): In your morning routine, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Sun protection is crucial for preventing further pigmentation and helping the serum work effectively.
