I received a product from Minon. Minon Amino Moist Brightening Moist Essence. Product name: Minon Amino Moist WEa [quasi-drug]. Minon has launched a new sensitive skin and whitening care line! Whitening: It suppresses melanin production, prevents blemishes and freckles, maintains moisture, and supports the skin's barrier function, leading to clearer skin. Another plus is that it's a hypoallergenic formula. It's a smooth, milky serum. It blends smoothly into the skin, leaving it feeling moisturized.
I'm happy because it's hard to find whitening products that work for sensitive skin. I'm not sure about the results yet, but I think I'll keep using it.

Minon is a skincare brand I use regularly because it suits my sensitive skin, and now that Minon has released a whitening serum, I bought it! The texture is smooth and spreads easily, leaving a moisturized finish, which I like. It's firm yet not sticky, and it's fragrance-free, so anyone can use it, even those who don't like strong scents.
