What They Say: "This daily moisturizing treatment helps grant the beauty of brightness with alpha-arbutin, one of the most stable and effective brightening ingredients available. Its blend of botanical ingredients also increases resistance to other age signs. A light, easily absorbable formula, this milky moisturizer is ideal for daytime wear or complexions that show afternoon shine. Alpha-arbutin helps brighten skin, while olive oil, squalane, and rice germ oil condition."

Jen's Experience: I've tried a lot of products that claim to increase radiance or brighten the skin, and it's such a subjective term that I've almost taken it to be a synonym for "doesn't do a whole lot". That is, until I tried this one. I've been using this at night for about a month now, and I have to say, the change in my skin is dramatic. My skin is not just much clearer, but my skin tone is much more even, no redness, and my usual spattering of white and blackheads is virtually gone. Here's the catch: with all the great effects, it's making my skin a little on the dry side, enough that for my daytime wear, I have to give my skin a lot of TLC to keep it looking good. For me, the extra moisturizing and care is worth it, and if your skin is normal to oily, you probably wouldn't even have an issue. If you're in the market for a skin brightener, I can't recommend this one enough.
