Brightening Serum
Brightening SerumThis serum combines the power of 10% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and 0.3% Alpha Arbutin to effectively address various skin concerns. Niacinamide helps to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, regulate sebum production, strengthen the skin's natural barrier, and improve overall skin texture and tone. Alpha Arbutin, a gentle yet potent skin brightener, works to fade hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) by inhibiting melanin production. The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, making it suitable for daily use to achieve a more radiant, even-toned, and healthier-looking complexion. It is designed to be gentle and effective for most skin types.

Oriva Scientific Assessment
This serum works by combining two powerful ingredients: 10% Niacinamide and 0.3% Alpha Arbutin. Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, helps to improve skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, minimize the appearance of pores, and regulate oil production, contributing to a more even and refined skin texture. Alpha Arbutin is a gentle tyrosinase inhibitor that effectively reduces melanin production, thereby fading existing dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and preventing new ones from forming, leading to a brighter and more uniform complexion.
Target User: Individuals looking to address concerns such as dark spots, hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), uneven skin tone, dullness, and enlarged pores. It is generally suitable for all skin types, including oily, dry, combination, normal, and sensitive skin, though a patch test is recommended for sensitive individuals due to the 10% Niacinamide concentration.
Avoid If: While generally well-tolerated, individuals with extremely sensitive skin or those who have previously experienced flushing or irritation from high concentrations of Niacinamide should exercise caution and perform a patch test. Pregnant or nursing individuals should consult a doctor before use, as is standard practice for many active skincare ingredients.
Avoid / caution
- High concentration of Niacinamide can cause flushing in some sensitive individuals.
