I have oily skin and don't like thick creams, so I was looking for a non-greasy cream. When I went to the Shiseido counter, they recommended this brightening cream. [Good Points] - It spreads easily and has a refreshing, gel-like texture, but it's not lacking in moisturizing power. (Those with dry skin may find it lacking in moisturizing power.) - The elegant scent is soothing. [Other Comments] - I like the simple yet sophisticated design of the packaging, which gives it a luxurious feel. However, the large size makes it difficult to store. - It's a bit pricey, so it may be difficult to continue using it repeatedly. However, refills are available, and you can earn lots of points by linking Suzykirei and the Shiseido app, so it's a product I'd like to repurchase during special offers like BEAUTY DAY.
I used up one bottle and bought a second one. I can really feel the whitening effect. My skin feels firmer, smoother, and brighter.

It's whitening but also moisturizing. I really like the non-sticky texture and scent. Elixir White's brightening cream doesn't moisturize unless you use a fair amount, but this one seems to moisturize even with a small amount. However, since it's a gel cream, it might be better suited to spring and summer. In winter, it can be a bit drying unless you add Minon oil. I have dry skin.
This is a gel cream that I've purchased many times. I use the entire SHISEIDO skincare line, and each one suits my skin perfectly and feels great to use. This gel cream doesn't feel sticky even when applied in layers, and it doesn't crease or leave my makeup looking cakey. In fact, it actually makes my makeup go on better and my base makeup feel more stable. The scent is elegant and not too strong, and I love that it's easy to use every day. However, when layering it with other brands' creams, sunscreens, or color-control primers that have a smooth texture, I sometimes feel like my makeup is a little prone to coming off depending on the combination. I feel that SHISEIDO products work particularly well together. To be honest, I'm not sure if they've made any visible, dramatic changes to my skin, but they've helped my skin stay stable and in good condition, so I trust it and continue to use it. Overall, it offers a good balance of feel, makeup application, and comfort, and I highly recommend it.
