Where I got it: I got this at a Facebook makeup group auction for $30! What a bargain! This is RRP$189.00 for 30ml, $249.00 for 50ml!
What I got: This is a 30ml bottle of Shiseido White Lucent MicroTargeting Spot Corrector. This intensive anti-spot serum helps diminish the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation for skin that looks perfectly translucent. It thoroughly targets various types of spots; from those that are particularly dark and defined to the scattered, smaller spots that are blurred and widely distributed over the face. Can also be used before and after brightening cosmetic procedures such as laser spot removal.
- MicroTarget Technology intensively targets each spot to help diminish their appearance.
- Features SAKURAResist Technology with Sakura from Japanese cherry blossoms to help skin become resistant to dark spot appearance.
- In 2 weeks 73% of consumers felt the serum was effective on visible dark spots but also scattered spots like tiny spots and blurred spots.**
- In 12 weeks 81% felt the serum was superior in reducing scattered dark spots than spot removal lasers**
How I find it: I use 2 pumps of this serum after I cleanse and tone my face. I also mix in 2 drops of my Paula’s Choice 10% Niacinamide booster with this serum and just apply all over my face. I use this day and night and apply moisturiser afterwards. It is absorbed pretty fast and is really fresh and soft to the touch. No greasy feeling at all and does not leave a film on the skin. However as this is a spot corrector, I think I will only use it to areas instead of all over the face to really prolong the use of this bottle. I have acne scarring but not much sun spots or dark spots, so hopefully it will help with lightening some of my pigmentation from old blemishes!
Overall: So I have been using this for a few weeks now and I do notice a reduction in the pigmentation of new blemish scars, but the older, deeper scars are still quite stubborn. It will need a much longer time of use to get any substantial results for those. However, I really love the texture and the scent of this serum – it is lightweight and absorbs easily into the skin. It doesn’t leave any residue and no stickiness at all. I only need one pump for the entire face and this bottle will last me at least 4-5 months I think. Love the bottle design – the pretty pink and silver mirror-effect bottle and the airless pump ensures the efficacy and hygiene of the product. Shiseido never fails to impress and has been a great brand for my skin.
