Arbutin at 2%
Korea licenses this as a whitening functional cosmetic and names arbutin as the principal ingredient. Two percent is a full working dose, not a sprinkle for the list. Every batch is tested against that declaration.

The vial you reach for when the concern is pigment.
SWS is Skin Depigmenting & Whitening Solution, and Korea registers it as a whitening functional cosmetic with arbutin as the principal ingredient. That arbutin sits at a full 2%. The carton says it in one sentence: it helps improve pigmentation, even skin tone and brighten the skin surface. Ten sealed glass vials, one per treatment.

The ampoule
Every vial in the Power Solution range wears a code, and the codes are not decoration. Each one is a registered product name with a single job printed beside it. SWS is Skin Depigmenting & Whitening Solution. The function on the carton is skin depigmenting and whitening. That is the whole brief, and it is why this is the vial you pick when the face in front of you is uneven.
Korea licenses this as a whitening functional cosmetic and names arbutin as the principal ingredient. Two percent is a full working dose, not a sprinkle for the list. Every batch is tested against that declaration.
Two millilitres, sealed in glass under a crimped cap and opened at the chair. Nothing is decanted, nothing is kept, and nothing oxidises between one face and the next. Ten vials is ten full doses.
A leave-on solution, not a rinse-off. It stays on the skin and works there the way a treatment serum does, in four steps: cleanse, open, apply, absorb.
The formula
Every percentage below is the finished concentration in the vial, not a guess at what a name near the top of an ingredient list might mean. Water is the carrier, 76.6% of it. What sets this one apart is the 2% of arbutin in the other 23.4%.
The base - 17.71% of the vial
Two humectants, just under a fifth of the bottle between them. That is what carries a full 2 ml across a face and leaves it feeling cushioned instead of tight.
The actives
Arbutin at 2% is the figure that belongs on a card. Kojic acid sits at 0.05% and licorice extract at 0.001%, so they are in the formula and they are not the reason to buy. Each group is charted on its own scale so the actives stay readable beside the base.
sh-Polypeptide-7 at 6.6 ppm and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 at 0.5 ppm. Peptides work at parts per million by design. The first is a recombinant human peptide grown by fermentation from a synthesised copy of the human somatotropin gene, so every batch arrives with the same 217-amino-acid sequence. COSING classifies it as a skin-protecting ingredient.
5-Free
GENOSYS prints the 5-Free mark on the pack and names all five exclusions rather than leaving you to guess. Every one of them holds up against the ingredient list further down this page.
Artificial fragrance is the one worth pausing on. Hinoki cypress water is in the formula as a fragrance ingredient, so this is not a fragrance-free vial. What the box promises, and what the list confirms, is that no artificial fragrance was added.
The range
The Power Solutions are a set, and each one is chosen for the skin in front of you. Same format, same price, same 2 ml sealed vial - a different job printed on each carton. SWS is the one for pigment and uneven tone.
All six are 2 ml × 10 vials at the same price, so the choice is about the skin, not the budget.
How to use
One vial per treatment
Wash the face thoroughly and pat it dry. The carton starts here, and on a treatment day so should you.
Snap the crimped cap. Each 2 ml vial is a single use, and there are ten in the box.
Work the solution across the whole face. Two millilitres is more than it sounds; it will cover a face and a neck without being spread thin.
It is a leave-on product and it is not rinsed off. Give it a minute before anything goes on top.
Or with whatever your practitioner has set for you. Keep it away from the eyes. The carton is explicit about that.
An opened vial does not reseal, and the solution is meant to be used fresh rather than kept. That is the point of ten of them.
Avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding - a precaution the carton prints itself, on account of the two artemisia extracts. Keep it off the eyes and mucous membranes, and rinse with cool water if it gets there.
What is in it
Every percentage here is the finished concentration in the vial, not an inference from where a name sits in the list.
The reason this vial exists. Korea registers the product as a whitening functional cosmetic and names arbutin as the principal ingredient. Two percent is a full working dose, and every batch is tested against that declaration.
Holds water at the skin surface, which is what keeps a treated face looking full rather than drawn while the arbutin does its job.
The next largest botanical after the humectant base. A conditioning extract, not a second brightener pretending to match the arbutin.
In the formula, at one fortieth of the arbutin dose. Named because it is on the carton, not because it is the engine.
Comfort and a familiar Korean cosmetic dose. They sit under the arbutin. They do not replace it.
The signature peptide of the range, here at 6.6 ppm. A single-chain recombinant human peptide grown by fermentation from a synthesised copy of the human gene that codes for somatotropin, so every batch arrives with the same 217-amino-acid sequence. COSING classifies it as a skin protectant.
Three amino acids anchored to a fatty acid so the peptide stays where it is put. One of the most studied peptides in cosmetic use.
Plant stem-cell cultures from Vitis vinifera and Rosa damascena, grown in a lab rather than harvested from a field, which is what makes them consistent batch to batch.
Licorice root at 0.001%, its ferment at 0.00007%, plus green tea, yuzu, mugwort, houttuynia, baicalensis root and hinoki cypress water. Each one named in full rather than folded into an invented complex name.

Honestly
For external use only. Keep it away from the eyes and mucous membranes, and rinse with cool water if it gets there. Stop and speak to a doctor if redness, swelling, small bumps or irritation occurs.
The detail
Questions
Skin Depigmenting & Whitening Solution. It is printed on the front of the box and on every vial, under the code. The function printed beside it is skin depigmenting and whitening.
Yes. The finished vial carries arbutin at 2%, and Korea names it as the principal ingredient of a whitening functional cosmetic. Every batch is tested against that 2% declaration.
That is the pairing GENOSYS designs its system around, and the range is sold into clinics that do exactly that. This carton itself gives the simple version - cleanse, open, apply, absorb - so if a practitioner has set you a protocol, follow theirs rather than ours.
It is a professional line: "PROFESSIONAL" is printed on each vial and the format is a clinic format. Nothing in it is restricted, so it is fine at home on a practitioner’s advice, which is exactly how most of our customers use it.
Both are in the formula. Kojic acid is 0.05%. Licorice root extract is 0.001%. They are not the reason this vial exists. Arbutin at 2% is.
Match the vial to the complaint. Pigmented is SWS, tired and dry is CVS, dehydrated and flat is HES, lined is AWS, rough or slack is CTS, oily or breaking out is PCS. The range table above sets them side by side.
Ten treatments, one vial each. Unopened it holds three years from manufacture, and the expiry date is printed on the box.
The carton asks you to avoid it during pregnancy and lactation, so we pass that on rather than talk you out of it. It is the two artemisia extracts. Take the ingredient list to whoever is looking after you.
Ten treatments, sealed one at a time.
POWER SOLUTION SWS
The pigment vial of the Power Solution range, with arbutin at 2% and every other percentage printed above, nothing held back.
