Brightens and evens out uneven skin tone while reducing blemishes and dullness with Yuja Extract 83% and Niacinamide 10%
- uneven skin tone
- dark spots and blemishes
- dull, tired-looking complexion
- lack of radiance
Skin that finally looks awake
Tired of dull, patchy skin hiding behind concealer. Two months in, your bare face does the talking.
Two actives, one visibly brighter face

83% Yuja Extract, not a trace amount
Most brightening serums list Yuja far down the ingredient list, if at all. Here it sits at 83%, the second-highest concentration on the label, doing the actual work behind the tone-evening and glow.

A full 10% Niacinamide dose
10% sits at the upper end of cosmetically effective niacinamide dosing. It targets dullness, spots and uneven tone without pushing into ranges known to irritate.

Airless pump keeps actives stable
The airless glass pump limits oxygen exposure. That matters because open-jar or dropper serums oxidize over months, losing potency long before the bottle's empty.

Visible evenness, not just glow
Split-face imagery shows reduced redness and a more even tone side by side, not a temporary dewy filter effect that fades by lunch.
The concentrations that make the difference
- 83%Yuja Extract concentration
- 10%Niacinamide concentration
- 60mlglass bottle, airless pump
- ~120 daysat daily AM/PM use
One pump, morning and night
- 1Cleanse first
Start with clean, dry skin so the actives absorb directly rather than sitting on residue from the day or overnight.
- 2One pump, applied evenly
Press the pump once and pat the golden liquid across face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- 3Let it sink in
Give it two to three minutes to fully absorb. It's a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula, not a heavy oil that needs blotting.
- 4Follow with moisturizer
Seal it in with your usual moisturizer to lock in hydration through the day or overnight.
- 5SPF every morning
If it's an AM application, follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen. Brightening actives work best when new sun damage isn't undoing the progress.
From cover-up to clear
- 1The mirror check ritual
Three glances before the door. A dab of concealer over the same dark patch, a swipe of color-corrector under the same dull spot. It becomes routine, the kind you stop noticing until a photo catches your bare skin and the difference is obvious.
- 2The drawer of unfinished serums
A half-used vitamin C that stung after week two. A brightening cream with an ingredient list you'd need a chemistry degree to parse. None of them said what percentage of anything they actually contained, so none of them had to prove it.
- 3Two actives, one bottle
83% Yuja extract. 10% niacinamide. Printed plainly on the label instead of buried in a proprietary blend. The skin brightening agents most serums bury under filler, here they are the formula.
- 4The bare-faced morning
No color-correcting step. No extra ten minutes at the mirror. Just skin that already looks even enough to walk out the door as it is.
Your skin's timeline to brighter
- First UseImmediate hydration, light glow
Skin feels smoother and slightly more luminous right after application, though tone-evening hasn't started yet.
- Week 1Texture starts to soften
Skin texture feels more even under makeup, dullness lifts a little at the morning mirror check.
- Week 4Tone begins to even out
Niacinamide's cumulative effect on pigmentation typically becomes visible around this point, with less redness in problem areas.
- Week 8Visible brightening, fewer spots
A more even overall tone and softened spot appearance becomes noticeable, matching the split-face improvement shown on the packaging.

Questions and answers
10% sits at the upper end of cosmetically effective niacinamide dosing but is still within the range widely used in daily serums. If your skin reacts to new actives easily, patch test on your inner arm first and introduce it every other day before moving to twice daily.
Yes, niacinamide generally layers well with both. If you use a strong exfoliating acid or retinol at night, keep this serum for mornings and alternate the acid to reduce irritation risk.
That's the point of the design. An airless pump limits oxygen contact with the golden liquid inside, which is why open-jar or dropper vitamin C serums tend to dull or discolor faster than this format does.
At one pump morning and one pump night, a single 60ml bottle runs roughly 120 days, about four months of consistent AM/PM use.
Apply it after cleansing and before your moisturizer. It's a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum layer, not a replacement for the occlusive step that seals hydration in.
Niacinamide is commonly used to help fade post-blemish discoloration and is generally well tolerated on acne-prone skin. It's not a spot treatment for active breakouts, so pair it with your existing acne routine rather than swapping it in.
