Product Review: Shiseido White Lucent Emulsion





The Shiseido White Lucent Emulsion has a milky liquid  consistency and is packed with major hydration properties. The smell is amazing! When I first tried it I loved it however, it broke me out. My cheeks were covered in acne and my forehead and chin were loving the extra hydration. I had to use the Naruko Tea Tree Acne Clay Cleanser both morning and night to get rid of the acne. I will not be purchasing this again and I plan to use the rest for my neck until it's finished. I would recommend this product for those who have extremely dry skin and have a desire to lighten their skin because of hyperpigmentation or acne scars, or individuals living in very cold climates. I would not recommend this product for those who have acne or acne prone skin. Instead, the Shiseido Senka Facial Lotion would be an excellent alternative.

Product Review: Komenuka Bijin Whitening Serum

The Komenuka Bijin Whitening Serum has helped to fade my acne scars without harsh chemicals. I have been using this for about a year and a half and I can honestly say this product works. It worked within two weeks which is why I continue using it. The Komenuka Bijin line is Japanese based and contains all natural ingredients. It is a clear hydrating serum containing mulberry extract, protein, rice bran, vitamins A, B1, and B2. Mulberry extract is anti-inflammatory and is the main ingredient that fades discoloration due to acne, sun damage, or age. The Komenuka Bijin Whitening Serum is one of the main reasons why my complexion has improved because it didn't just fade my scars--it hydrated my skin as well. Instead of using a product which is more expensive containing highly toxic chemicals, this is an excellent option! Out of all the natural lightening products I've tried, this is by far the best in my opinion but I'm open to other products which could prove similar/faster results! Check out my skin routine for details on the products I use in conjunction with this serum.
