laneige Radian-C Double Active Brightening Essence 30g

Two textures in one bottle — a lightweight emulsion on top, a watery essence below. Before you press the pump, you can see them sitting separately. Afterwards, they melt into the skin within seconds. This two-phase format isn't just a visual gimmick: each formula carries its own actives, designed to work on different targets. Results build over time — a brighter complexion, a more even tone, and smoother-looking skin.

Texture and actives — The upper phase combines niacinamide with 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid — a stable form of vitamin C that doesn't oxidise when exposed to air — along with cyanocobalamin, a source of vitamin B12, to visually reduce the look of tired skin. The lower phase concentrates the hydrating actives: sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer and sodium acetylated hyaluronate form a network of four hyaluronic acid forms at different molecular weights, complemented by Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract, a mushroom known for its exceptional water-retention capacity, and Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract to help support microbiome balance. Centella Asiatica Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, a liquorice-derived ingredient, help calm uneven tone without disrupting the skin barrier.

How to use — Give the bottle a gentle shake before each use to bring the two phases together, then pump out the amount you need — one to two presses cover the whole face. Apply after cleansing and before moisturiser, working from the centre of the face outwards towards the temples, patting rather than rubbing. Absorption is quick: skin feels supple with no sticky residue, so you can go straight into your moisturiser or sunscreen. The 30 g bottle fits easily into a toiletry bag or on a bathroom shelf without taking up much space.

• Active two-phase formula: formula 1 (upper phase) targets radiance and dark spots; formula 2 (lower phase) targets hydration and comfort — two textures, one single application.
• Contains 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (a stable form of vitamin C) in both formulas, paired with niacinamide to address dark spots and dullness.
• Four forms of hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, sodium acetylated hyaluronate) for hydration at multiple skin depths.
• 30 g size: ideal for testing the routine over four to six weeks, or for travelling without exceeding cabin liquid limits.
• Storage: shake before each use to reactivate the two-phase formula; close the pump carefully after use to keep the actives stable.
