Tone and brightness
Turmeric
Turmeric, the root of a plant in the ginger family, as an extract or a distilled root water; Korean labels usually list it as 울금뿌리추출물.
- What it does
- Used in toner pads, serums, masks and cleansers; Korean brightening lines pair it with kojic acid for a brighter, more even-looking tone.
- How often
- Usually morning and evening in everyday skincare. Shot essences and masks need product-specific timing, while sun care needs daytime reapplications.
