But these products are not skin ‘care’ they literally damage the skin barrier
most korean skincare products have active skin brighteners included, such as alpha arbutin.
i just double checked a few products by the larger korean brands and every single one of them had brightening properties, even sunblocker
Snow BB Creme by Laneige - Arbutin
Essential Power Skin Refiner by Laneige -
Ascorbyl GlucosideAll Around Safe Block Aqua Sun Gel SPF50+ /PA++++ by Missha - Morus Alba Fruit Extract
White Dew Original Ampoule Essence by Laneige - Morus Alba Fruit Extract
even inisfree uses them
Perfect 9 Repair Cream - Arbutin
I think it would be easier listing Korean products that do not have brightening actives.
