Ammuri Extreme Brightening Serum — £24.99 | 30ml

Key actives: Kojic Acid · Alpha Arbutin · Hyaluronic Acid · Vitamin E · Aloe Vera

The Extreme Brightening Serum is Ammuri's most targeted formula for visible dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven pigmentation. Kojic Acid and Alpha Arbutin work together to help reduce the appearance of discolouration, while Hyaluronic Acid supports skin hydration and Vitamin E provides antioxidant support. The formula is lightweight and fast-absorbing, suitable for all skin types.

Who this suits:

Those with persistent dark spots or post-acne marks
Skin that has been affected by sun-induced pigmentation
Anyone looking for a dedicated spot-targeting serum

Who should consider a different option:

Those whose primary concern is hydration rather than pigmentation — the Exosome Booster or Vitamin C Hydroboost may be a better fit
Those new to active serums who prefer a gentler starting point — consider the Intense Brightening Serum first

Shop Extreme Brightening Serum

Ammuri Exosome Brightening & Hydration Booster Serum — £24.99 | 30ml

Key actives: Exosome-inspired complex · Kojic Acid · Glutathione · Vitamin C · Alpha Arbutin

The Exosome Booster Serum combines brightening actives with a hydration-focused delivery system. Glutathione and Alpha Arbutin help address the appearance of uneven tone, while Vitamin C adds antioxidant support and the exosome-inspired complex supports skin radiance and moisture. Suitable for morning and evening use.

Who this suits:

Those dealing with both dark spots and dull, dehydrated skin
Anyone wanting a multi-tasking serum that addresses tone and moisture in one step
Those who find single-active serums too drying

Who should consider a different option:

Those with very oily skin who prefer a lighter, single-focus formula — the Extreme Brightening Serum may suit better
Those on a tighter budget — the Intense Brightening Serum at £17.99 covers similar brightening ground

Shop Exosome Booster Serum

Ammuri Intense Skin Brightening Serum — £17.99 | 30ml

Key actives: See the product page and packaging for the complete current ingredient list.

It pairs well with the Vitamin C Day Cream SPF 50 in the morning and an optional retinol in the evening.

Who this suits:

Those new to brightening serums looking for a gentle starting point
Those with mild uneven tone or early dark marks
Anyone wanting an effective brightening serum at a lower price point

Who should consider a different option:

Those with established, stubborn pigmentation — the Extreme Brightening Serum's Kojic Acid and Alpha Arbutin combination may be more appropriate
Those who also need significant hydration support — the Exosome Booster addresses both concerns

Shop Intense Brightening Serum

Ammuri Vitamin C Hydroboost Serum — £14.99 | 30ml

Key actives: Vitamin C · Hyaluronic Acid

The Vitamin C Hydroboost Serum is a lightweight daily serum combining Vitamin C for antioxidant protection and a brighter-looking complexion with Hyaluronic Acid for hydration. It is the most accessible serum in the range and works well as a standalone daily glow serum or layered beneath a moisturiser. Suitable for morning and evening use.

Who this suits:

Those looking for an everyday antioxidant and glow serum
Those with generally dull or uneven skin who do not have significant dark spots
Those wanting to layer a brightening serum with other actives without overloading the skin

Who should consider a different option:

Those with established dark spots or post-acne marks — a Kojic Acid or Alpha Arbutin formula will be more targeted
Those looking for a dedicated pigmentation serum — consider the Extreme Brightening or Exosome Booster

Shop Vitamin C Hydroboost Serum

Results vary between individuals according to skin type, routine and consistency of use. Follow each product's directions, introduce new products gradually and use suitable sun protection as part of your daytime routine.

Morning & Evening Routine Guidance

Morning Routine

Cleanse — Use a gentle, sulphate-free cleanser
Serum — Apply your chosen brightening serum to clean, dry skin. Use 3–4 drops, press gently into the skin
Moisturise — Follow with your preferred moisturiser
SPF — essential — Finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 50. The Ammuri Vitamin C Day Cream SPF 50 combines moisturisation and sun protection in one step and pairs well with all four serums

Evening Routine

Double cleanse — Remove SPF and makeup thoroughly
Serum — Apply your brightening serum. All four serums are suitable for evening use
Optional: Retinol — If using a retinol, apply after your brightening serum has absorbed. Allow 2–3 minutes between layers
Moisturise — Seal with a nourishing night moisturiser

Layering Guidance

All four serums can be used as part of a layered routine. A few principles to follow:

Apply serums to clean, dry skin before moisturiser
If layering two serums, apply the thinner, water-based formula first and allow it to absorb before applying the second
The Vitamin C Hydroboost Serum layers well beneath any of the three brightening serums as a hydration base
Avoid layering multiple high-active serums in the same routine if your skin is sensitive — introduce one at a time
Always follow with SPF in the morning when using brightening actives

SPF Guidance

Daily SPF is essential when using any brightening serum. UV exposure is one of the primary causes of dark spots and uneven tone — without SPF, brightening actives are working against ongoing sun-induced pigmentation.

The Ammuri Vitamin C Day Cream SPF 50 is formulated to complement the brightening range — it provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection alongside Vitamin C for antioxidant support, and doubles as a moisturiser. Apply as the final step of your morning routine, after your serum has absorbed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use more than one of these serums at the same time?
Yes — the Vitamin C Hydroboost Serum layers well beneath the other three. If combining two brightening serums, introduce them gradually and monitor how your skin responds.

Which serum is best for post-acne marks?
The Extreme Brightening Serum, with its Kojic Acid and Alpha Arbutin combination, is the most targeted option for post-acne marks and established dark spots.

Which serum is best for dry or dehydrated skin?
The Exosome Brightening & Hydration Booster Serum is formulated to address both uneven tone and dehydration. The Vitamin C Hydroboost Serum also provides Hyaluronic Acid hydration alongside its brightening action.

Do I need to use SPF with these serums?
Yes — SPF is essential in the morning when using any brightening serum. The Ammuri Vitamin C Day Cream SPF 50 is a convenient combined moisturiser and SPF 50.

How long before I see a visible difference?
Results vary between individuals according to skin type, routine and consistency of use. Follow each product's directions, introduce new products gradually and use suitable sun protection as part of your daytime routine.

Are these serums suitable for sensitive skin?
All four serums are formulated for all skin types. If you have sensitive skin, the Intense Brightening Serum or Vitamin C Hydroboost Serum are good starting points. Introduce any new active serum gradually.

Can I use these serums if I am also using retinol?
Yes. Apply your brightening serum first and allow it to absorb before applying retinol. In the morning, always follow with SPF 50.

So far so good but I need to give it atleast 3 months use to be able to review it properly.

Miracle serum

I have been using this serum for more than 2 years now. The good thing about this serum is that the amount of retinol is just perfect to do all my skin requires such as brightening, keeping acne away, and keeping the skin surface smooth and dewy. I dare not stop use, or else all my skin issues especially acne will come back to say ‘we are back with vengeance’

This is not a miracle product, my skin gone lighter

Absolutely love this serum! After a few weeks, my skin has gone noticeably lighter and more even. Dark spots have faded and my face looks brighter overall. Lightweight, no irritation—definitely buying again!

I confess this is my first interaction with the brand "Ammuri". I was unfamiliar with them but in the time between ordering this and having it delivered I looked into the company a little more. Turns out they have an extensive range. This specific product is a face serum and creams, 'Exosome Hydro-Glow Complex' that is suitable for all skin types and aims to hydrate your skin.

The serum arrives boxed but inside the box it is in a plastic bottle with a cap that pulls all the way off (as opposed to being on a hinge for example). The serum dispenses nicely from a push-down nozzle. The serum itself is a yellow-ish or off-white colour. The cream goes on like butter - minus the greasiness!

I must say that this has turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me. One thing is for sure and that is that "The INKEY List" is now well and truly on my radar! I haven't had it for a super long time but after my first uses my first impressions are good. My skin feels hydrated after every use. This is a quality product as far as I am concerned and I am more than happy to give a five star review.

Ammuri delivers on this affordable exosome cream and serum that works! I will be a repeat buyer as I can already see skin improvement in just a few weeks. If you're on the fence, this is a great no no-irritation product at a great price point - buy! You won't regret it
