I've always loved Elixir and used the whitening product, but I started to worry about my aging skin, so I applied to Suzykirei and won, and started using this one. With the whitening product, depending on what I layered on, it would sometimes flake, but this doesn't, and it's perfect for use before applying makeup. It keeps my skin radiant all day without drying out. Even if I layer a little cream on top at night, it doesn't feel heavy. If you don't mind dryness, this alone might be enough. I recommend using it in combination with the lotion. I've realized that this is perfect for aging skin, so I'd like to continue using it!
