The other day, I tried a cheap whitening lotion that was highly praised by beauty experts in a magazine, and although the scent of the out-tester wasn't too strong, the actual product made my eyelids and cheeks red after just one day. In the end, I hurriedly ordered this one, which I've been using for 16 years, and used it. It's good. I like that it's refreshing and has no scent. I wonder if sensitive skin shouldn't try whitening products. I ended up having to pay shipping fees for just one bottle.
After shopping at Harbor, I received a mini size separately from the official Harbor store! Thank you so much!!! After I got home and removed my makeup, I soaked a thin, peel-and-stick botanical organic cotton ball from Daiso with this lotion and used it all over my face. The scent is great, and I'd like to try using it as a compressed sheet mask or in other ways! The mini size lasted me about two months. I'd also like to purchase the full size!!!
I'd known about this product for a long time, as my mother would occasionally buy the pump-type products that were apparently released for the whole family to use. I'd occasionally borrowed them during my student days. I'd tried a variety of products, including POLA's Immerse, Chanel's Le Lift, IPSA, Décolleté Hydra Clarity, SK2, and Kiehl's Calendula, but nothing quite clicked. When I returned home, I borrowed this one for the first time in a while and was surprised! I felt that HABA was more moisturizing than the department store brands. (Chanel's Le Lift is just as moisturizing, but the cost-effectiveness is a bit off.) Pressing it into my hand makes it soft and supple. It works well with liposomes, and I'm happy it's additive-free. I've tried a lot of toners, but many of them didn't produce the results I expected, or I was worried about whether they were moisturizing enough, so I decided to stick with this one for a while and have a subscription. I'm not sure about the whitening effect, but it's comfortable to use, additive-free, and reasonably priced, so I'll give it 6 stars. (I'm planning to try POLA and cosmetic medicine to whiten and tone my skin.) But I also want to try other products, and I'd like to try SK2 and Chanel again someday! Lol
