“Radiant Seoul Beauty TM Bright Potion, Skin Glass Serum is a revolutionary gel serum that supports the skin’s natural moisture levels for hydrated, happy skin.”
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:
allantoin, arginine.
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: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide 3, niacinamide, panthenol
Evens skin toneNiacinamide, GlutathioneWorks well
“This powerful formula can also minimize the appearance of pores and unbalanced skin tone, helping you achieve a glassy, translucent-looking complexion.This unique serum contains all of the following skin-supporting ingredients Hydrolyzed Collagen is known for its ability to improve skin elasticity and can help restore suppleness and enhance skin appearance by smoothing and softening the surface.Ceramides help skin lock in moisture to provide a healthy barrier, while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.Niacinamide is a potent B vitamin known to help improve uneven skin tone, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, and increase moisture retention.Hyaluronic Acid helps hydrate the skin and gives it a plump and healthy appearance.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glutathione, niacinamide
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-agingNiacinamide, Hydroxydecyl ubiquinone + 1 moreWorks well
“This powerful formula can also minimize the appearance of pores and unbalanced skin tone, helping you achieve a glassy, translucent-looking complexion.This unique serum contains all of the following skin-supporting ingredients Hydrolyzed Collagen is known for its ability to improve skin elasticity and can help restore suppleness and enhance skin appearance by smoothing and softening the surface.Ceramides help skin lock in moisture to provide a healthy barrier, while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.Niacinamide is a potent B vitamin known to help improve uneven skin tone, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, and increase moisture retention.Hyaluronic Acid helps hydrate the skin and gives it a plump and healthy appearance.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: hydroxydecyl ubiquinone.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ubiquinone, Hydroxydecyl ubiquinone + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (glutathione, hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Niacinamide, AllantoinWorks well
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

Product summary
"Radiant Seoul - Bright Potion, Skin Glass Serum" is effective for: Moisturizing, Anti-blemish, Evens skin tone and Anti-aging
Ingredient callouts
- A good concentration of Niacinamide (3.20% - 3.90%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- Ceramides (ceramide 3 0.50% - 0.75%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 2.40% - 3.00% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
- In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.60% - 1.90%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
- Humectants (arginine 0.15% - 0.25%, hydrolyzed collagen 0.40% - 0.60%, sodium hyaluronate 0.40% - 0.65%, glycerin 1.50% - 1.80%, allantoin 1.60% - 1.90% and panthenol 2.40% - 3.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
