I don't know why, but this is the spot whitening serum that works best for me out of all the ones I've tried. I feel like my dark spots have lightened a little. I've tried other spot whitening products from a certain beauty salon that cost about 13,000 yen, Hospipure, and others, but this is the one that works best for dark spots right now. It's a refreshing cream, so it's easy to apply before makeup.
The Brightening Spot Essence is a medicated serum for spot treatment that targets the roots of dark spots and freckles* for intensive care. Its formula of two vitamin C derivatives* allows it to penetrate* the entire skin. Its firm texture is more like a cream than a serum, but it's easy to apply to specific areas. It spreads smoothly and melts into the skin with a softness that's hard to believe given its firm texture. It also adheres well to the skin, which is great. I use it after applying toner, but since it's for specific areas, I apply the spot essence after applying the serum to my entire face. Both have the Brilliant White Bouquet scent, but it's not too strong, so they're easy to use at night or before makeup in the morning. #maryquant #maryquant #brightening #brighteningcare #brighteningspotessence #brighteningpowderwash #lemonsquare #whiteningcare * #departmentstorecosmetics *Suppresses melanin production and prevents dark spots and freckles. *Water-soluble vitamin derivative -ascorbic acid-glucoside (active ingredient) Oil-soluble vitamin derivative Ascorbyl tetrahexyldecanoate (skin conditioning ingredient)* down to the stratum corneum
I use a variety of Mary Quant skincare products. When I applied it to areas where I was concerned about acne scars, they gradually faded and I no longer noticed them. I also tried applying it to new acne and it healed faster than usual. The beauty advisor said she always keeps some in stock for herself. I do think the price is a bit high for the amount, but I've noticed such a positive effect that I'll continue to use it on areas that bother me.
Is this really a cream?!? Or is it more than a cream, it's a balm?!? It has such a firm texture that it seals in moisture no matter what! It doesn't let moisture escape! It feels amazing (lol). Plus, the scent is brilliant white bouquet, which is so calming. Perfect for people who want to relax while doing their skincare! If it were a little cheaper, I would definitely buy it again.
