Product Description:
The ROUND LAB Vita Niacinamide Dark Spot Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum designed to improve skin clarity and radiance. Formulated with niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Hippophae Rhamnoides Water, it helps brighten skin, reduce the look of dark spots, and promote a smoother complexion. Suitable for daily use, this serum supports a healthier, more even skin tone. From ROUND LAB — the brand celebrated for its commitment to purposeful, transparent formulations — this serum brings together one of the most comprehensive and synergistic brightening complexes in the Korean serum category, powered by the proprietary Triple Vita Activer™ system and a supporting cast of niacinamide at 5% (50,000ppm), tranexamic acid, glutathione, and idebenone (Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone) that address visible uneven tone, dullness, and surface discoloration from multiple complementary pathways. The Triple Vita Activer™ combines Hippophae Rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) Water at 733,873ppm (73.4%), 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract at 3,863ppm to enhance skin brightness and clarity. The sea buckthorn water base — sourced from the sun-drenched, clean region of Yeongwol (영월), Gangwon Province in Korea, and cold-extracted at low temperatures to preserve its full nutritional profile — is naturally rich in vitamins C and E, carotenoids (xanthophylls), and flavonoids, replacing ordinary purified water for a genuinely active, vitamin-dense formula from the very first ingredient. This has received official Korean MFDS dual functional cosmetic approval for both visible brightening and visible firming, and has been validated through German Dermatest dermatological certification and completed skin irritation testing — confirming its suitability even for sensitive skin types. The 2-bottle set provides an excellent ongoing supply for daily morning and evening brightening care.
Key Features:
The serum contains niacinamide, tranexamic acid, bisabolol, glutathione, and idebenone to provide blemish care in 3 steps. Vita capsules containing glutathione and idebenone deliver active ingredients to the skin to address blemishes more effectively. Niacinamide at 5% (50,000ppm) is the lead brightening active, visibly refining the appearance of uneven tone, enlarged pores, and surface discoloration with consistent daily use. Tranexamic acid works synergistically with niacinamide to address the appearance of existing uneven patches and dullness. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid — a highly stable, non-irritating form of Vitamin C — provides a further visible brightening contribution without the sensitivity concerns associated with pure ascorbic acid, making it genuinely suitable for daily day-and-night use. Glutathione contributes an additional antioxidant brightening dimension. Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone (idebenone) — a powerful synthetic antioxidant — provides highly effective protection against environmental stressors that can worsen the appearance of uneven tone over time. The formula contains non-irritating and stable Vitamin C derivatives to provide daily blemish care that can be used day or night. Panthenol at 11,250ppm keeps the skin comfortable and well-hydrated throughout the brightening process. Centella asiatica extract, chamomile flower extract, bisabolol, and portulaca oleracea provide a multi-botanical soothing support complex. Ceramide NP supports a smooth, well-conditioned skin surface. The refreshing, water-like serum texture absorbs within seconds without any stickiness, residue, or heaviness, making it ideal for layering under any moisturiser or sunscreen.
How to Use:
After cleansing and toning, apply an appropriate amount of the serum to the face, focusing on areas with dark spots or uneven tone. Gently pat until fully absorbed. Follow with moisturiser and sunscreen during the day. Suitable for daily use, both morning and night. For areas of particular concern — visible uneven patches, post-blemish marks, or sun-exposed areas — apply a slightly more generous amount and gently press for a few extra seconds with the fingertip to encourage deeper absorption. For maximum visible results, use consistently morning and evening without interruption — visible improvements in skin tone and clarity are typically most noticeable after 4 to 8 weeks of daily use. Always follow with broad-spectrum sun protection in the morning to support the brightening benefits.
