Key Ingredients
Rice Bran Water
The first ingredient in the current formula, rice bran water helps replenish moisture and leave the skin looking soft, smooth and naturally radiant. It contains naturally occurring amino acids and minerals that support skin conditioning.
Alpha-Arbutin
Alpha-arbutin is a targeted brightening ingredient that helps reduce the visible appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone with consistent use.
The current official Canadian product page does not disclose the alpha-arbutin percentage, so this page does not advertise a specific concentration.
Niacinamide
Helps support the moisture barrier while improving the appearance of uneven tone, dullness, visible pores and rough texture.
Panthenol
Also known as provitamin B5, panthenol provides soothing hydration and helps support a comfortable skin barrier.
Trehalose and Glyceryl Glucoside
Humectant ingredients that help attract and retain moisture, leaving dehydrated skin feeling softer and smoother.
Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters
Help condition the skin and provide lightweight emollient moisture.
Multi-Grain Botanical Complex
Includes rice, soybean, barley, sesame, wheat, mung bean, Job’s tears and corn extracts to support hydration and skin conditioning.
Who Is It For?
Recommended for:
- Post-acne dark spots
- Sun-induced uneven-looking pigmentation
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Dehydrated skin
- Rough-looking texture
- Normal, dry, combination or oily skin
- Anyone wanting a gentle brightening serum without exfoliating acids
Sensitive skin should be patch-tested before regular use.
Texture and Finish
Glow Deep Serum has a lightweight, slightly viscous texture that spreads easily and absorbs without excessive stickiness.
It leaves the skin hydrated and dewy, making it easy to layer beneath moisturizer. Only a few drops are needed for the entire face.
How to Use
- Cleanse and apply toner.
- Dispense two or three drops into clean hands.
- Gently spread the serum over the face.
- Pat until absorbed.
- Follow with moisturizer.
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
Avoid touching the dropper directly to the face or hands to keep the formula hygienic.
Beauty of Joseon’s current Canadian page states that the serum may be used in both morning and evening routines. Because alpha-arbutin can be sensitive to light and heat, evening use is a simple option; if used during the day, sunscreen is essential. Beauty of Joseon Official Store
Suggested Brightening Routine
Morning
- Gentle cleanser
- Hydrating toner
- Glow Deep Serum, if desired
- Moisturizer
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen
Evening
- Cleanser
- Glow Replenishing Rice Milk or another hydrating toner
- Glow Deep Serum
- Dynasty Cream or another moisturizer
Consistent sunscreen use is essential because repeated UV exposure can make dark spots more visible and interfere with the results of a brightening routine.
What Results Can You Expect?
Glow Deep Serum is designed to gradually improve the appearance of dullness and dark spots while providing immediate surface hydration.
Hydration and glow may be noticeable sooner, but visible changes in uneven pigmentation generally require consistent use over several weeks. Results vary according to the cause and depth of the pigmentation, skincare routine and sun exposure.
This product should not be described as permanently removing melasma or all forms of hyperpigmentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Glow Deep Serum good for dark spots?
Yes. Alpha-arbutin and niacinamide help improve the visible appearance of post-acne marks, sun spots and uneven-looking tone over time.
Does it treat melasma?
It may support a routine for uneven pigmentation, but melasma is complex and often influenced by hormones, genetics, heat and sun exposure. This cosmetic serum cannot guarantee that melasma will disappear. Persistent pigmentation may require professional evaluation.
Does it contain 2% alpha-arbutin?
The current official Beauty of Joseon Canadian page lists alpha-arbutin as a key ingredient but does not state its percentage. Therefore, this product page does not claim that the current formula contains 2% alpha-arbutin.
Is this the same as Beauty of Joseon Glow Serum?
No.
- Glow Deep Serum: Rice bran water and alpha-arbutin for dullness and dark spots
- Glow Serum: Propolis, niacinamide and BHA for oil balance, visible pores and skin imperfections
Choose Glow Deep Serum when uneven tone and dark spots are the primary concern.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. It can be used daily if your skin tolerates it. Sensitive skin should start once daily or every other evening and increase gradually.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes, according to the brand’s current instructions. Always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen. If you prefer a simpler routine, use it in the evening.
Can I use it with vitamin C?
Yes, but using both together may be unnecessary for sensitive skin. You can use vitamin C in the morning and Glow Deep Serum in the evening to reduce the chance of irritation.
Can I use it with niacinamide?
Yes. The formula already contains niacinamide, so a separate high-strength niacinamide serum may not be necessary.
Can I use it with retinol or retinal?
Yes, but introduce the combination gradually. Sensitive skin may use Glow Deep Serum in the morning and the retinoid at night, or alternate evening routines.
Can I use it with AHA or BHA?
It does not contain an exfoliating acid, but combining several brightening or exfoliating products may irritate sensitive skin. Alternate routines if dryness, stinging or peeling develops.
Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
The lightweight formula may be suitable for acne-prone skin, particularly when post-acne marks are a concern. However, individual sensitivities vary and the brand does not make a universal non-comedogenic guarantee for this product.
Will it lighten my natural skin colour?
It is intended to improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation and dark spots, not bleach or change the skin’s natural overall colour.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Beauty of Joseon recommends patch-testing because some sensitive skin may react to alpha-arbutin. Apply a small amount to a limited area and observe for 24 hours before regular use. Beauty of Joseon Official Store
Can it be used during pregnancy?
Beauty of Joseon identifies a set containing Glow Deep Serum as pregnancy-routine friendly. However, pregnancy guidance for alpha-arbutin can differ among healthcare professionals. Consult your doctor before introducing it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, particularly if you have been advised to avoid hydroquinone-related ingredients. Beauty of Joseon
Is it fragrance-free?
Yes. Beauty of Joseon identifies the current formula as fragrance-free and alcohol-free.
