Korean glass skin is considered the ideal look for flawless skin. This concept inspired the creation of the ludientRadiance Glass Serum. With a high percentage of niacinamide along with other brightening and hydrating ingredients, the serum is formulated in a way to act together as a system and not just an array of ingredients.

At the core of the serum sits 20% Niacinamide, which is one of the highest strengths that you can find in this type of product, way above the normal 5-10%. Niacinamide is extensively researched due to its properties that improve skin texture and appearance, and it builds up an excellent skin barrier over time, all of which is achieved through its high percentage strength in this serum.

In addition to niacinamide is the use of glutathione which is also being used as an antioxidant in Korean glass skincare owing to its benefits for promoting a fairer skin tone. It goes hand-in-hand with Vitamin C and ferulic acid, both of which have been proven to be a reliable combination due to the fact that ferulic acid stabilizes vitamin C and makes it more effective. These are the two ingredients that make for a good Vitamin C serum for face that works together to serve as a dark spot corrector. Those who want to try out niacinamide and glutathione for dark spots should give this combination a try.

The brightening actives in the product could lead to a tight sensation on the skin due to lack of hydration; this is where the 8-Complex Hyaluronic Acid formula in the serum becomes useful. Through the use of various molecular weights and types of hyaluronic acid such as sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, and sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, the serum can hydrate the skin at various layers, thus leading to the desired glass-like skin.

Whereas a conventional drugstore brightening serum relies on a standard formula, what makes ludient different is the evidence-based method by which their products are formulated. The company boasts a skin intelligence formulation based on skin scanning done to millions of people, seeking to understand skin from the inside out rather than addressing just the visible signs of skin issues. Whatever the effect of the claim on day-to-day use, it does produce an intriguingly thoughtful list of ingredients: niacinamide, glutathione, vitamin C, ferulic acid, centella asiatica, and hyaluronic acid complex.

The serum should be applied on cleansed and dry skin both during the day and night time, followed by a moisturizer to hydrate the skin, and sunscreen at the end of the routine due to increased sensitivity to sunlight because of brightening ingredients. Since 20% niacinamide serum has a high percentage, beginners to active serums can use them every other day before applying twice a day.

If you want to achieve an actual glow and bright skin, then the ludient Radiance Glass Serum can be of help to you because of its well-balanced and well-layered ingredients, which includes niacinamide, glutathione, vitamin C, and intense hydration all in one go.
