I won. Thank you very much. I usually use skincare products with whitening active ingredients, but this product gave me a clearer complexion. It's light and not sticky, but it's very moisturizing. It's non-comedogenic and has been tested, so it's easy to use even for someone like me who is prone to acne. It's great, so I'd like to buy it again, but I don't like the scent.
I received this as a gift from Suzykirei. I have dry skin. I used it once a day for about two weeks as the final step of my morning skincare routine. It's a refreshing, easy-to-spread cream that absorbs quickly and leaves no sticky feeling. It doesn't have a particularly strong scent, and I found it easy to use. It doesn't smudge even when applied before makeup, so I think it's easy to incorporate into your morning skincare routine. Given that it's currently winter, I found the moisturizing power a little lacking for nighttime use, but it's just the right lightness for morning use. I'm also using a serum containing vitamin C and tranexamic acid, so it's difficult to honestly judge the whitening effect of this cream alone. However, it blends well with my skin and I found it to be a stress-free cream. I think it's suitable for those who prefer a lighter feel or are looking for morning brightening care.
I won a giveaway from Suzykirei! The texture is light and easy to apply between the cream and lotion. My face feels smooth after washing the next day. The scent is unique, but not too strong, so it's tolerable. It's not moisturizing enough for my dry skin, so I'll resume using it when the weather gets a little warmer.
My sister has been telling me for a while that kojic acid is a great fit for my skin, so I finally bought it. It certainly suits my skin. It blends in smoothly without feeling sticky, and when I wake up in the morning, the dullness seems to have vanished. This is what they call translucence...! Apparently it was recently revamped and now contains frankincense. It's not cheap, at 7,700 yen for 30g. But I'll definitely buy it again when I run out. The only thing that's disappointing is the scent? It smells oily. I'm not sure if it's the smell of the ingredients or what. So I'm giving it one star less.
I won a giveaway from Suzykirei! I'm so happy! Thank you. I received DERMED's Brightening Cream. I tried it right away and it's amazing!! This is the first time I've ever experienced a cream that penetrates so deeply into my skin! The moment I put it on, the cream is absorbed into my skin, and it disappears from my hands and skin surface in an instant. I currently have about three inflamed pimples on my right cheek, and they hurt when I touch them, but when I applied the cream, it didn't smudge or hurt at all, which I was so impressed! (The third photo is from the first day.) And what surprised me most was that the container doesn't come with any contents in it, and you have to refill it yourself! It's incredibly hygienic, and the quality is maintained when it arrives. I really think this is a product that DERMED is particular about.
