Product details

A tube of Light On Serum on a white table between centella leaves and slices of citrus

Tone-evening + calm

A stable vitamin C and centella in a light, non-sticky serum that evens tone and soothes.

Beauty of Joseon’s vitamin C serum uses 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a stable form that’s gentle enough for daily use, paired with calming centella. The silky texture absorbs quickly and leaves skin comfortably moisturized, never dry or sticky.
