Best Brightening Products
If you are not new to my blog, you probably know I love brightening products. It’s probably one of the first things I grab when I am searching for new products to try out. There are probably hundreds of brightening products in the market, all claiming that it will brighten your skin, fade scars and fade hyperpigmentations but which of them actually work? In this post, I will list the Best Brightening Products.
Let me say my skin has never been perfect, I have freckles which are already pretty weird for an Asian. I sometimes get an occasional pimple that leaves the dreaded acne scar. I am not those lucky ones that just wash their wash with water and have perfectly clear skin. In truth, my freckles have always bothered me. I know. I know, some people would kill to have them. So much so that they would draw them on or even get them tattooed but on me, it just doesn’t look that great. That’s probably one of the reasons why I gravitate toward brightening products.
With all the products I have tried, none really lightened my freckles, but I kind of came to accept them as they are. I mean. If people tattooed them on, it must be great in some ways?
Although I did not find my miracle freckle product, I was able to find products to help brighten my skin along the way. Here are is a list of my Best Brightening Products:
Best Brightening: Serum
Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop 5%
The Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop By far my favorite serum is from Klaris. I have tried the older serum by Wishtrend called OST Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum and I definitely prefer Klaris Vitamin C Serum better. I haven’t tried their newer serum Original Pure Vitamin C21.5, but I heard that it absorbs way better than the C20. One reason why I prefer the Klaris one better is that the Klaris is more stable than the C20 and more effective. The Klaris doesn’t turn orange like the c20. Usually, vitamin c serums are usually on the less stable side, that is why it turns orange. This orange color shows that it has oxidized. It is not expired per se, but it’s less effective.
Best Brightening: Supplement
Hythiol-C Plus
This is the one item I would pick up if you are in Japan. After taking these my mom complimented my skin, which is a rare thing. She usually complains about how my skin looks because of my “lack of sleep” or eating “unhealthy food”. So if my mom complimented on my skin it’s a miracle product. My skin looked clearer and brighter. Definitely, a must-try if you have never tried these magic pills before.
Best Brightening: Face Masks
Sheet Masks
Naruko NArcissus dna repairing mask +
Mask House Celebrity Snail
I have two recommended face mask, Naruko DNA, and Mask House Celebrity Snail Mask. These masks give your skin an instant pick me up. I don’t know if it’s only me but I sometimes think sheet mask is a hassle sometimes. Some mask drips while some you have to stay very still so it doesn’t slip off your face. However, these masks are definitely worth the time and effort. You can read my review I did on them: Naruko DNA and Celebrity Snail Mask.
Best Brightening: Lazy Face Masks
If you are feeling a little lazy or can’t be bothered with a sheet mask I recommend these non-sheet masks. It’s perfect for when you are feeling a bit lazier than usual or you just don’t have time for a sheet mask that just keeps slipping off your face. Or maybe you are lazy like me and just too lazy to put on a face mask but want a quick pick me up. If I am just not in the mood for a sheet mask I like to grab these masks.
Skinfood Rice Mask
The Skinfood rice mask is a wash-off mask, it is a bit special since it has bits of rice in it. These little rice bits help you exfoliate your face while you apply it to your face. While at the same time all the minerals and vitamins from rice help brighten your skin. The Skinfood mask is great for when you are watching dramas or anything where you don’t want to worry about a face mask slipping off.
Cosrx Overnight Rice Mask
Unlike the Skinfood Rice Mask, the Cosrx Overnight Rice Mask has a smooth uniform texture. If you think washing off the Skinfood rice mask is a big hassle, this mask will be your saving grace. This mask you don’t even have to take the mask off until the morning. You can put it on at night and it works while you sleep.
Boscia Sake Bright White Peel Off Mask
Although this one requires you before removing sleep, it is fun to do. I don’t know about you but I love peeling masks, kind of addicting. After removing the mask, you see a slight brightening of the face, but it is not as effective as the Cosrx Sleeping Mask.
