Dilemma - DiorSnow, IPSA, Lancome or Shiseido White Lucent



I need some help... I probably will post some help me out questions between now and my HK/Tokyo Trip.

I love Vichy. I tried my very best to love it. It is reasonably priced and I like the texture. But I can't help thinking it didn't do any help when I broke out. I have been having lots of red patches and spots, I am trying hard to think it is all due to the late night sleep and dao dao harassing me in the morning.. but I think it could be just because of Vichy...

I did use the Shiseido White Lucent product line and I got some good results. The Brightening eye treatment helped me to get rid of my eye bag, so much so that I reduced the eyebag and the loose area became fine lines..

I like the Moisturising SPF 15 cream, although it is sticky on you feel it, my skin quickly absorb and I survived my winter with it and my skin is clear and I know together with my SK-II it helped to whitened by acne scar (proved by how much concealer I need to put in the scar area)

I read lots of rave about Dior Snow and I'm tempted. But I think the UV base is the best products but not sure if anyone tried the skincare...

I'm also thinking of Lancome the whitening product line. Lancome and I seems to be having a good time, after my experiencing with the primer La Base, the exfoliating gel and cleansing gel, I think Lancome might be for me. I again heard good things about the whitening effect.

Or should I go back to IPSA metabolizer? I like it a lot.. I used it during my times in HK, and it works for me. It works in UK however I have younger skin then and can take anything that you put on it.

Or back to Shiseido White Lucent? bearing in mind I probably will need to buy the lighter version for the humid climate in HK..

hmm.. All I want is something good value does not make me break out, hope to lighten my acne scar. Am I asking too much?

  1. hi there how's it going? hey since u're still in the UK, u should look into taer icelandic (order online) or rodial cos those are excellent, even though they dun have whitening moisturiser. i just sold the shiseido white lucent moisturizer. for me it worked fine, though i only used it as a sunscreen. i doubt it can withstand the humidity in hong kong, though most of the time u'd be indoor...

  2. I would say,perhaps ipsa metabolizer with the white lucent day cream if you feel a little dry. I absolutely love the ipsa line but i think it is quite basic in what it does:-)

    Lancome blanc expert gets a thumb down from me,diorsnow im not so sure about as most of the designer skincare line does very little for me.

    Hope it helps.

  3. I think you should try Seikishou! that's 清肌晶 by Kose. Ive been using the facial cleansing soap bar, i swear this stuff has lighten my face!! i don't really scar but my face takes time to heal after larger pimples, i think that soap has made these pigmentation disappear. I get a lot less pimple too and my pores are a lot smaller than before, especially on my forehead, I used to get get many black heads! Now i'm using their soap AND their Whitening mask, I have much less blackheads all around.

    I heard mnay raves on p&j whitening serum on lightening acne scars. I have a bottle unopened lol but I cant wait to try it. You should check it out on beautybay.com, much cheaper than japan!!

  4. My HGs are the P&J Whitening serum and the Shiseido White Lucent eye treatment. The eye treatment really deals with undereye circles, while I use the Dr. Brandt R3P eye cream underneath. They both really work!

    You can get P&J at Fenwick in London (you can call the Bond Street store and you will get it the next day) and the Rodial, Dr. Brandt and other goodies at SpaceNK.
