As the weather gets colder, I've found that my summer lotions and emulsions don't provide enough moisture, so I switched to this series. The lotions come in both moisturizing and refreshing varieties, but the emulsion has a texture somewhere in between, perhaps to complement either of them. It blends in easily and feels comfortable. It's amazing that it not only moisturizes but also whitens. I received compliments at the gym about my glowing, healthy complexion. Plus, they even have refills, and it's a great price! I've been using Chifure since my teens, recommended by my mother, and have been a bit unsuccessful, but when I tried it again after a long time, I was impressed by how good it is.
I hadn't used lotion before because I didn't think it was necessary, but I decided to try this whitening type from Chifure. The results are amazing! I use toner, serum, and lotion at night, and no serum in the morning. I feel like my skin has become brighter. The lotion feels a little sticky, but after a while it doesn't bother me. I also like that they have refills.
Since I enjoyed the lotion, I also purchased this emulsion in preparation for winter. It contains arbutin at 3.00% and L-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside at 2.00%, the same concentration as the lotion. I hope that by using it together with the lotion, a higher concentration of active ingredients will reach the skin. It feels light but moisturizing, leaving my skin feeling supple. I've just started using it, so I'm not sure about the whitening effect, but I'd like to use it this winter.
I bought the red one to compare with the blue lotion. I was hoping for a more moisturizing effect, but the texture is not that different. I don't like sticky textures, so I like the smooth feel. I haven't seen any whitening effects yet, but I've used it a few times.
I bought this together with the lotion. I've used the one in the light blue container before, but this one feels like it has a lighter texture. I don't like sticky textures to begin with, so I prefer light emulsions. Perhaps because the lotion is a light type, it dries out my skin a little over time. I also bought the serum from the same series, so I'd like to try using it together.
