Bomibox Sun-kissed Greens : July 2025
Sun‑Kissed Greens: The Hydrate‑&‑Brighten Summer Bomibox – July 2025
July’s Bomibox is a leafy‑green line‑up of korean skincare products that drench, soothe and visibly even tone while staying feather‑light for sweaty days. Think antioxidant‑rich matcha, pore‑perfecting green tomato, calming tea‑tree and garden‑fresh cucumber, all anchored by daily sun protection.
Seasonal tip: keep sheet masks and ampoules in the fridge for an instant cooldown, re‑apply SPF every two hours (yes, even indoors near windows) and swap thick night creams for sleeping packs or light gel moisturisers so your barrier still gets TLC without feeling smothered.
APLB Tranexamic Acid Niacinamide Ampoule Serum 40 ml
Hyperpigmentation doesn’t stand a chance against this power drop. APLB pairs a dermatologist‑loved 1,000 ppm tranexamic acid with equal parts niacinamide to fade spots, calm redness and strengthen your moisture barrier. Centella water, beta‑glucan and squalane cushion the actives, so even sensitive summer skin can glow without the sting.
Key benefits
- Visibly brightens dark marks and post‑blemish spots
- Refines texture and minimises redness for a clearer look
- Lightweight, non‑sticky finish layers easily under SPF
How to use
After cleansing and toning, press 2–3 drops over face and neck. Pat until absorbed, then seal with moisturiser or proceed straight to sunscreen for day use.
