Takami, a skincare brand born from the Tokyo Omotesando beauty dermatology clinic that has worked with over 200,000 skin cases, will launch its first quasi-drug medicinal whitening serum "Takami Bright Spot B3+" nationwide on February 24, 2026.
The new Takami "laser" serum from the brand behind the No.1 selling serum "Takami Skin Peel" (combined department store, flagship store, and e-commerce sales) targets melanin with laser-like precision, leading to clear, radiant "glass skin" without a single cloud.
Takami focused on the reality that many people who want to undergo cosmetic medical treatments are forced to give up for various reasons. The Takami "laser" serum was born from the desire to deliver satisfying whitening care to any skin, regardless of season or skin condition.
Melanin Tracking Approach Focuses on the Complex Process of Spot Formation
Spots appear on the skin surface through a complex process where melanin accumulates inside the skin.
The Takami "laser" serum features a "Melanin Tracking Approach" that focuses on the complex process of spot formation and approaches from every angle. Like a laser, it targets melanin precisely and straight, suppressing melanin production at the source of spots. It gets ahead of future spot sources to prevent spots that may form in the future.
Furthermore, as a quasi-drug, it delivers adult whitening care that not only prevents spots but also improves wrinkles, prevents acne, and achieves high moisturizing function simultaneously.
Particular Formulation Points
1. Independently Developed Laser Complex:
Formulated with seven beneficial ingredients in an exquisite balance centered on the whitening active ingredient niacinamide, including PHA that can approach old keratin containing melanin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B5, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid. This is an effective and essential whitening care that achieves both whitening care and keratin care, arrived at only by Takami, which considers skin metabolism essential for maintaining beautiful and healthy keratin.
2. High-Moisture Transparent Texture:
The moment it touches the skin, the fresh transparent texture quickly penetrates to every corner of the stratum corneum. Unlike the conventional image that "whitening care is drying," attention was paid to the high-moisture after-feel sensed from inside, pursuing a texture that can be used year-round by those with sensitive skin. In fact, 97% of those who used it responded "moisturizing."
3. Commitment to Safety Based on Beauty Dermatology Knowledge:
While being aggressive whitening care, formulated so that even those with sensitive skin can use it. Tested under dermatologist supervision. Can be used by those with sensitive skin. Non-comedogenic tested. Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, colorant-free.
