Evens skin toneArbutin, Camellia sinensis leaf extractMay help
“A sleeping mask with vitamin C from Jeju tangerines that perks up skin’s bright appearance while helping even the look of tone, texture, and pores.”

“Papain-infused capsules immediately melt to help gently smooth away dead skin cells and refine look of pores.”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with papain, but This ingredient is not the most effective.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Arbutin, Camellia japonica leaf extract + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (arbutin) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane + 11 moreWorks
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, butylene glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane.
