Absorbs despite goopy appearance

What they flagged

Tacky, heavy texture
Leaves green residue if overapplied

What the gurus are saying

The bright green, goopy appearance looks off-putting, but reviewers found it absorbs beautifully without leaving a tint. Using less is best, since too much leaves a green blob. The serum carries 1% alpha arbutin for brightening, plus panthenol and licorice, though reviewers split on daytime use: its heaviness gave some pause, but others loved the absorption enough to work it into their PM routine.

"I used the Chlorophyll Discoloration Serum from Coco Kind during the month of March and I fell in love with it. It has alpha arbutin at 1%, and I wondered if that ingredient could be my substitute for niacinamide. I bought the full size and I'm continuing to test it."

"My hesitation was the consistency and color, but [...] now that I've tried it, it seems like it will be goopy and yet it absorbs so nicely, they [...] did a really good job formulating this. Alpha arbutin is a lot easier to incorporate into [...] a routine than something like AHAs or vitamin C, and you can actually use this during the day or at night since the green doesn't linger on your skin."

"I wanted to use this overnight first because I hadn't tested this one out and I was worried it would be a little heavy. [...] Maybe I'm applying a lot, but I feel like it is a little bit on the heavier side. This is not something I imagine myself using during the day. It definitely has a tackiness to it. But I'm definitely interested in continuing to use this and see how well the alpha arbutin helps to brighten dark circles and discoloration and redness on my skin."

"Feels nice"

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
