It's expensive, but effective. While I was using it, I felt like the dark spots on my cheeks had faded a little. However, it's still expensive, so I ended up switching to Orbis, which contains the same ingredients. I feel like the dark spots are starting to become more noticeable again (even though it's winter). I'll come back to this and try it again. By the way, I only use it partially, and I think it took about four months last time, so maybe it lasts a while?
It spills a lot, which is a shame.
It's smooth yet has a strong moisturizing effect, making it easy to use.
I used the mini size for about 10 days. I noticed that my skin became slightly brighter, and it did seem to lighten some of the dullness, but for that price, I thought a different whitening ingredient might be more suitable for me, so I didn't end up buying it. However, everyone is raving about it, so I think it might be nice to have the opportunity to use one.
It's been extremely effective for me! I work in an environment where I often spend several hours outside in the hot sun, making it easy for me to sunburn. I had noticed some light brown freckles on the high points of my cheeks and along the sun-prone line on my nose. Hoping to lighten them even a little, I started using this product around the summer of 2025, and now, in February 2026, after my second bottle, I've seen significant results. The freckles have lightened, to the point where you can only see them if you squint. I wanted to get more out of the serum's whitening benefits, so I use Cosme Decorte Liposome in the morning and Shiseido Ultimune at night, followed by this White Shot. I'll continue using this product to lighten existing blemishes and freckles, and as an investment to prevent new ones from forming!
