I've been using brightening creams for 8 years now. My original skin tone was #23, but people think I'm a #11-13 - super fair! My secret weapons? Makeup and brightening moisturizers. In my 8-year quest for the perfect brightening cream, I've tried them all. The result? I realized there's no such thing as a flawless brightening cream due to the nature of its ingredients. So, I'll probably never give a full 5-star rating to any. But no matter what I try, I always come back to this one. It's been my ride-or-die for 8 years straight. My #1 pick for brightening creams. **With brightening creams, both the product's texture and your application technique are crucial.** What makes this product stand out: ❣️When applied evenly, it brightens your complexion naturally. It's not just a slight whitening effect - it significantly brightens while still looking like your own skin. ❣️The effects last long. Other products fade or wash off after a few hours, but this one stays put until you remove it at night! ❣️It stays on even if you get a bit wet (just avoid soap). It doesn't maintain 100%, but your skin still looks translucent and bright. Pro tip: for a natural glow, apply this, then lightly dampen your face and pat with a towel. It's not just pale skin - your complexion looks radiantly beautiful. ❣️No white residue. No need to worry about white streaks when it rains or you sweat. ❣️The texture is light, and if you prep your skin well, it's less drying than other brightening products (though some dryness is inevitable due to the brightening ingredients). ❣️When applied correctly and allowed to absorb, it doesn't transfer onto clothes. ❣️Gives you beautiful fair skin, not a ghostly white cast. ❣️Relatively gentle ingredients, even for sensitive skin. ❣️No blemishes if you cleanse well at night and don't leave it on for too long. ❣️Price is so-so, but the generous amount lasts a long time.
Cons📌 Blemishes can occur if left on the face too long or if you sleep without washing it off. 📌 If you don't prep your skin properly, it can emphasize fine lines, pores, texture, and dead skin cells. 📌 Inevitably drying due to the nature of brightening creams. Best to avoid using on the face if possible. 📌 When used before makeup, it can cause caking around the nose and make foundation break down unattractively.
Tip🍯Use on your neck and body rather than your face! For the face, use a color-correcting base to brighten your complexion. 🍯For the body, thoroughly absorb an emulsion first, then gently massage in a small amount of this product for naturally fair skin! This method improves longevity - it won't rub off easily or darken. 🍯Squeezing out a large amount and slathering it on will obviously lead to creasing, dryness, an unnatural look, and transfer issues!

The texture is smooth and it sinks into the skin quickly. If you use just the right amount, it naturally evens out your skin tone, which is great.
ConsCompared to other brightening moisturizers, it's a bit pricey and the coverage isn't as good as I'd hoped, which was disappointing. It feels hydrating at first, but gradually becomes drying over time.
TipWhen I apply it before going to school, it naturally brightens my complexion.

ConsHowever, after application, my skin feels a bit dry. I think it might be lacking in deep hydration.

When I first apply it, it looks a bit like white cream on brown skin for a few minutes. But after that, the color difference becomes less noticeable, and my skin tone naturally becomes brighter! The fragrance isn't overpowering either, which I really like. It's perfect for applying at school!
ConsI have super sensitive skin, and every time I use this, I feel like my blemishes get worse. Small pimples seem to get bigger after application, and new ones appear too... I wouldn't recommend this for those with sensitive skin. It seems to settle into fine lines a bit, and the lasting power is only about 3-4 hours, so I wish it would last longer. Also, I have combination dehydrated skin in summer but extremely dry skin in winter, and this felt a bit too drying for me. Especially around blemishes, it made my skin look like it had white dead skin cells, which I didn't like. Even though it's supposed to be a brightening moisturizer you can wear to bed, when I tried sleeping with it on, I woke up with lots of new pimples. So if you have sensitive skin, I'd advise against wearing it to sleep.
TipSince this doesn't have UV protection, it's good to apply sunscreen after using this brightening moisturizer! I have dry skin, so I usually layer a hydrating sunscreen on top. The regular price is quite high, so I bought mine for under 10,000 won with free shipping on Auction.

On days when you want your face to look a bit fairer, it works decently well. The generous amount makes it great for applying on areas like the neck or arms.
ConsIt's a bit drying. Doesn't spread easily. The scent might be hit or miss, but personally, it wasn't to my liking. However, it did improve after some time.
TipMake sure to apply it over a generous layer of moisturizer.

TipIf you pat it on gently, it seems to give an even brighter complexion.
