I purchased this product for my acne scars and after 2 weeks of using it, I can say that my scars have lightened and the redness was reduced. (FYI: I use this product along with The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam, Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System and AC Clinic Intense Red Spot Balm)

The product contains Vitamin C and according to research, this vitamin is good for hyperpigmentation. Since I have redness on my face, I decided to try the product. Personally, I like it because I can really observe that the redness is subsiding slowly. I also noticed that my face brightened and looked very dewy. Plus, it moisturizes well.

SUMMARY RATING:

5/5 1. Brightens the face

5/5 2. Whitening (FYI: Whitening products won't make you whiter. It'll just correct uneven skin tone like dark spots, hyperpigmentation etc)

5/5 3. Fragrance - I love how it smells! 

4/5 4. Price - I bought this for $ 33 and I rated it a 4 because compared to the other serums, this was probably one of the biggest. A 75 ml for a serum is a good thing. Some of the other serums costs the same but the sizes were smaller. 

4/5 5. Over-all Rating - I love that it's 75 ml in size, it works well and it smells good. I definitely would recommend this to people who are trying to get rid off hyperpigmentation and who has dull looking skin. This  product will surely brighten your skin after a few uses!

That ends my review! I hope this helped! 

Review: Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam (The Face Shop)

Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam 300 ml

INGREDIENTS: Water, Myristic Acid, Glycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Glycol Distereate, Lauric Acid, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide Mea, Glyceryl  Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Titanium Dioxide, C12-13 Pareth-23, C12-13 Pareth-3, Butylene Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Disodium Edta, Blue 1 (CI 42090), Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Red 4 (CI 14700), Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Fragrance, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde

Okay, that was so hard to type. 

Rice Water is good for the skin they say. It will make the skin firm, reduce the size of the pores, will make skin very soft and it helps in improving complexion.

Anyway, I've been using this product for 2 weeks and I am so happy to say that my skin is pretty starting to get brighter. Before I used this product, my face looked dull but after using it everyday, my skin started to look more bright and alive. It's very easy to lather and the smell is just so good. For me it smells like baby powder. I'm not even sure if that's the right way to describe it but in my opinion, it is.

I have sensitive skin (oily-blemish prone) and I didn't experience any irritation or allergic reactions to the product and I think that's really good.

I bought this at The Face Shop located at Korea Town in Manhattan (West 32nd Street) for around $ 18.00. The smaller version of this one costs around $ 14.00 I think and that's like only a $ 4.00 difference so I bought the 300 ml one. I only use a small amount and I think this will last for a year something and with that noted, I can say that it is a very good deal.

SUMMARY RATING:

4/5 1. Price - I think the price is very reasonable knowing that this product can last for a year.

5/5 2. The Smell - It's perfect and I love it!

5/5 3. Skin Friendliness - It works really well for me so I gave it a perfect score. No irritation or anything.

4/5 4. Brightening Effect - It made my skin looked more alive and bright after 2 weeks but since I haven't used this for so long, the score's not yet perfect. I'm pretty sure I will give it a perfect score soon though.

4/5 5. Over-all Rating - I love this product and I would definitely recommend it! It smells good and it works!

That ends my review! I hope this helped!
