Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Refining Softener enriched.
Description from Sephora: "Achieve a dewy, radiant, and even-toned look with this high-performance, hydrating essential. M-Tranexamic acid prevents dark spots while the Super Hydro-Synergy Complex (composed of Hydro-Wrap Vitalizing DE and Bio-Hyaluronic Acid) intensely hydrates to give skin a smooth, healthy appearance. Erythritol, apricot extracts, and Super Hydro-Synergy Complex normalize cell turnover to retexturize skin."
The direction for this is to saturate a cotton pad with the product then gently wiping it over cleansed face, well when I was using it as directed I didnt really feel that it was worth it, It felt like I was using too much product since the cotton pad just soaks everything, it just feels such a waste. Then it as forgotten, until a couple of weeks ago when I cleaned my drawers. I decided to give it a try again but this time I applied it without the cotton pad, I just put a couple of drops on my hands, rub it together, and gently patting my face. I like this method better since #1 3 drops is enough as opposed to soaking the whole cotton pad #2 the patting motion circulates blood flow #3 it felt relaxing #4 feels like it works better (all in my mind).
So on to the product itself, the consistency is like water but a tad thicker? After application it feels a little sticky and it takes 2-3 minutes for the product to be fully absorbed and feel moisturized. I have noticed that as I use this more often, my skin has looked better, that I can even skip moisturizer after and still feel my skin hydrated. Dewy/Radiant claim I guess it does work since skin really hydrated= dewy/radiant look?
What I like:
-> Hydrating
-> Did not experience any breakout
-> skin feels healthier
-> makes my skin look bright and radiant throughout the day
What I don't like:
-> pricey for a toner $48(sephora)
-> bottle is made out of glass, heavy heavy!
-> packaging looks pretty but not practical
-> availability
-> availability
I dont really have noticeable dark spots, and uneven skintone to begin with so I cannot say anything if it works for those problem, but this is so far a favorite of mine during my dry skin days. It helps boost my skin's hydration and I love how moisturized my skin looks after.

It is pricey, and not very 'clumsy person' friendly, I almost had a heart attack when I dropped it one time, luckily it landed on my cushiony floor mat. whew~
I think calluses in hands are the most problem
that many people want to be solved. There are many products that guarantee you
to solve it, but try and try different products will help you to choose
the most effective product for your skin. | hand cream | cath kidston
Reading at your pro's and con's, I'd say the aye's outweigh the nay's however in my case, Shiseido is quite pricey ;( I'd love to give it a try tho...
Thanks for sharing!
