A glow-up in a bottle. This gentle yet effective exfoliating serum is designed to smooth, hydrate, and clarify—all without the sting. Powered by 5% PHA for mild exfoliation, it combines the resurfacing benefits of Mucor Miehei Extract (a mushroom-derived enzyme) with the deep hydration of Tremella Mushroom and Hyaluronic Acid. Niacinamide brings it all together by soothing inflammation and balancing skin tone.
Why It Works:
-
Gently exfoliates to refine skin texture and promote cell renewal
-
Unclogs pores and helps prevent future breakouts
-
Hydrates + plumps with mushroom-derived moisture boosters
-
Soothes and strengthens the skin barrier

HERO INGREDIENTS
-
5% PHA Poly Hydroxy Acid
This larger acid molecule is gentle enough for even sensitive skin, minimizing irritation-no tightness, just smooth, conditioned skin. It gently exfoliates, improving skin texture, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With antioxidant power, it fights free radicals and UV damage.
-
Mucor Miehei Extract (Mushroom Extract)
Provides deep hydration, locking in moisture and supporting the skin barrier while acting as a natural alternative to Hyaluronic Acid. They help reduce fine lines, brighten skin tone, and offer antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. Additionally, they soothe irritated skin and improve elasticity, making the skin appear smoother and firmer.
-
Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharides & Hyaluronic Acid
Combines different molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid and Tremella Polysaccharides to deliver a silky, refreshing skin feel and long-lasting moisturization. The formulation prevents moisture loss at the surface and deeply hydrates the skin, penetrating the epidermis and dermis for maximum effect. Additionally, it reduces TEWL, scavenges free radicals, protects against UV damage, and strengthens the skin barrier.
-
Niacinamide
It balances ceramides and fatty acids to maintain a healthy skin barrier, reducing water loss and keeping skin hydrated. Additionally, it evens out skin tone, diminishes dark marks, protects against environmental stressors, supports collagen synthesis for improved elasticity, and helps regulate sebum levels to reduce breakouts.

Once again Standard Beauty has knocked it out of the park! The K-Inspired range is brilliant!
I started using this serum for about 4 days, twice a day. I’ve seen a significant improvement in my skin already. My skin is hydrated and more even toned. My acne has subsided significantly. A little also goes a long way. Very impressed with this product
Every product I’ve tried and used from standard has been amazing!!
This product is really soft, it’s my first time using it and I love jt
I have hormonal acne that I used to struggle with but this serum has made it so much better to handle. Not only has it cleared my acne faster but it also made my skin look and feel better. It's as good, if not better than the bringgreen zinc teca blemish serum. I love this so much but don't be like me and use it in moderation.
