The application is smooth and natural, giving a matte finish rather than a moisturizing feel. However, the whitening effect only lasts for a few hours after application.
ConsI've come to realize that there doesn't seem to be a cream that provides lasting brightening effects. I bought this because of the positive reviews and high rating, but it didn't live up to my expectations.

No pilling and no blemishes! I have sensitive, dry skin and usually experience pilling or blemishes with other brightening moisturizers, but not with this one - which is great! It looks natural too. Other brightening moisturizers made my face look too white and floaty, but this one was just right! The texture is similar to the Cynic sunscreen I'm currently using.
ConsThe longevity is a bit disappointing. As naturally as it applies, it doesn't last as long as I'd like. You might need to reapply it several times throughout the day.
TipThis seems perfect for summer use! For winter, since I have dry skin, I'll probably need to add some extra hydration before applying it.

It's a subtle, natural fragrance that doesn't feel artificial or overwhelming - I was really pleased with that. It gives off such a fresh vibe! The cream's texture is quite similar to sunscreen. It's a bit heavier than an emulsion, so I was worried it might be thick and hard to apply, but the absorption was actually quite good. Plus, it seems to adhere well to the skin! I felt like it helped even out my skin tone and texture to some extent. While I wouldn't say it's super hydrating, it provides just the right amount of moisture to prevent dryness. It's that perfect balance, you know? An added bonus is that this product also offers whitening and anti-wrinkle benefits, which I think is a major plus!
ConsWhen I first received it and opened the packaging, I was a bit disappointed to see that the outer surface looked somewhat dirty, as if it was covered in grime. Also, I found that the brightening effect didn't last as long as I had hoped, which was a bit of a letdown.

It spreads quite easily. The fragrance is absolutely delightful and really lifts my mood. Since it contains Vitamin C, I think it could be great for skin brightening too.
ConsThe most challenging aspect was that this product alone tends to accentuate dead skin cells. Exfoliation is absolutely necessary when using this. It also tends to clog pores, and when I'm out during the day, I noticed my makeup floating and clumping in various spots. Even when applied on its own, its staying power is rather poor. I think it would be even better if it had sun protection.
TipExfoliation seems essential when using this product. Also, mixing it with a hydrating cream makes it spread more smoothly and helps with controlling the amount used.

I was feeling down about my uneven skin tone while treating folliculitis caused by my previous foundation. My dermatologist even advised against using sunscreen. However, this brightening moisturizer has been a game-changer! Although I'm still wary of using foundation again, this product is easier to cleanse off than foundation. It brightens my complexion and gives my skin a clearer appearance. While it doesn't cover all blemishes, it does a good job of evening out skin tone and concealing dark circles. I used to avoid brightening moisturizers because they would pill badly and dissolve around my mouth even when I just drank water. But this product doesn't pill as much and seems to stay put!
ConsAs expected with a brightening moisturizer, the lasting power is a bit short. After some time, my complexion seems to darken again. There's some pilling if you touch your face frequently after application! But it's best not to touch your face anyway, so...
TipIf you apply this and then dab some concealer just on your blemishes, it looks completely natural.

As long as you don't apply too much, there's no stickiness, which is great. Scent: It has a subtle lemon fragrance that's not overpowering, which I really like. Brightening effect: It looks natural, giving your skin a slightly brighter bare-faced appearance! That's probably why you can see it when applied to the back of the hand, but it's not noticeable in photos. Please refer to the knee application photo for reference.
ConsDue to its natural effect, people with already fair skin might not see a significant brightening result, and the lasting power isn't great.
TipI've decided to apply it only on areas with discoloration or where I want a highlighting effect, rather than all over my face.

You can really feel the hydration. Scent: There's a subtle vitamin scent. It's not an overpowering artificial cosmetic smell, and the vitamin scent naturally fades away, which is great! Texture: It has a texture somewhat like Greek yogurt? The brightening moisturizer I used before had a runny, emulsion-like consistency, but this one feels a bit thicker. Long shelf life: I received this product in 2023, and it's good to use until 2026!
ConsCoverage: As it's a brightening moisturizer, the coverage is understandably limited. For someone with blemishes and scars like me, I might be able to use it alone once my skin improves. Stickiness: While it feels moisturizing, there's a lingering stickiness after application, similar to sunscreen. In summer, when mixed with sweat, it might stick to your hair a lot. Longevity: It does temporarily brighten the skin! However, as time passes, it seems to fade a bit. No sun protection: In summer, don't use it alone. You should apply sunscreen first, then layer this on top.
TipFor those with good skin, if you suddenly need to go out and are concerned about your complexion, this would be great to apply quickly after your skincare routine! I plan to use it that way once my skin improves.
