Review : Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Moisturising Cream


Product Description

Recommended for dry skin, this product is specially developed with Shiseido original Multi-Target Vitamin C and Spot Deacti-Complex for whitening result. It also contains Tranexamic Acid to prevent dark spots. Blending with Super-Hydro Synergy Complex to deeply moisturize and refine skin's texture for softer, smoother skin. With Erythritol, Apricot Extracts, and Super Hydro-Synergy Complex, the product helps to normalize cell turnover to retexturize skin.

This is the last product from the Shiseido kit I gotten as a Xmas gift from a good friend of mine. Initially I thought it may be too rich for me, hence I did not use it together with the rest of the products.

I usually rotate my products according to my needs and follow up with consistent usage. For the past 2 months, I have been blessed with blemish-free skin so I was trying to get whitening care back into my regime.

I used the moisturising cream as a night cream and initially, it appeared to be too rich for my skin as my skin turns greasy and shiny upon application.
Thereafter, I tried to apply with a light hand or spray a facial mist prior to using the cream and it works pretty fine for me.

White in colour, the cream has a slippery feel and is slightly rich in texture. It contains Dimethicone hence the smoother feel to the skin. My skin appeared more even-toned, dewy and smoother the following morning.
Note that alcohol is the 4th ingredient on the list, definitely too high a concentration.

During the 2 months of almost daily usage, the texture of my skin looks better and pores on my nose seemed more refined. That said, I have to mention that I am also using other products so the refined pores on my nose may not neccessarily due to just this product alone.
Yet, the results differ after 2 months as my skin turned back to its dull state though the pores on my nose still maintain its refined state.

It scored 3.1 from 32 users on Makeupalley
