Description
La Mente C-Pla Whitening — Medicinal Brightening Serum, 30 ml
La Mente C-Pla Whitening is the brand's flagship brightening serum — a 医薬部外品 (quasi-drug) certified formula that combines two of Japan's most studied brightening actives in a single, highly concentrated treatment. "C-Pla" stands for Vitamin C (water-soluble ascorbic acid derivative) and Placenta extract — two ingredients that approach hyperpigmentation from different angles and together deliver a more comprehensive brightening and anti-aging effect than either alone.
The water-soluble vitamin C derivative is stable, non-irritating, and highly effective at inhibiting tyrosinase (the enzyme that drives melanin production), while the placenta extract provides growth factor-like skin renewal signals and anti-inflammatory support. The combined effect is a visibly brighter, more even, and firmer complexion — particularly in areas of pigmentation, sun damage, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
This serum is suitable for use with aesthetic devices (ultrasound, iontophoresis, photon therapy) to enhance active ingredient penetration.

FAQ
What is placenta extract in skincare?
Placenta extract used in Japanese cosmetics and quasi-drugs is derived from porcine (pig) or equine (horse) placenta. It contains growth factors, amino acids, and vitamins that stimulate cell regeneration and have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and brightening effects in clinical studies. Japanese pharmaceutical regulators have approved it as a quasi-drug active ingredient. Note: this is an animal-derived ingredient.
Is this product halal?
No — C-Pla Whitening most likely contains porcine or equine placenta extract, which is not halal-certified. If you require halal-compliant skincare, please choose a vitamin-C-only brightening serum without placenta.
Can I use this with a home beauty device?
Yes — La Mente C-Pla Whitening is specifically formulated for use with aesthetic devices. Apply the serum as a conductive medium before iontophoresis, ultrasound, or photon therapy. Avoid using with microneedling unless under dermatologist supervision.
Is this the genuine Japanese product?
Yes — Tsujimoto Market sources La Mente products directly from Japanese suppliers and ships from our warehouse in Kobe, Japan.
