Kanebo Blanchir Superior maintains its fragrance-free and color-free features. Powered by Kanebo’s whitening ingredient Magolignane (Tetrahydromagnolol), inhibits the formation of melanin by controlling the maturation of tyrosinase (melanin formation enzyme), preventing blotches and freckles. This is quasi-drug whitening essence, to be caution, Kanebo advised don’t use it after getting sunburn until skin redness and irritation subside.
The consistency of this serum is kind of feather-light milky lotion. Initially I thought it must be very moisturizing, realized later the dewy content actually absorbed very well into skin within a minute. Totally not greasy, slightly tacky if over-applied, but overall comfortable, hydrating, matte skin looking instead. I could layer another serum on top without feeling heavy if I want intense treatment. In other words, it is not a moisture booster.
I have finished this in 3 months, 2-3 squirts for face and neck and 1 squirt extra for freckles area after being in the sun. Speaking of its whitening ability, with whole Kanebo Blanchir series I started to notice the different in first week, a 1.5volt light bulb lighten on my face likeable effect although that was not the type of translucent fair. The result reminded me of using Estee Lauder Advance Night Repair Whitening Complex in the past.
When I paired this together with non-whitening products, it worked slower that took 3 weeks to have the intense brightening result and even up skin tone overall, may be slightly lightening effect on freckles. There was once I was in the scorching hot sun (in the noon time even) for few hours without constantly shaded, my hands were obviously getting slightly tanned but no sign at all on face! Although I used this serum on the day and night, and I admitted I re-applied my sunblock twice for face only during the day and I had done a honey mask on the night, but I think this serum did help, my skin was healthy glows like usual on next day. Concerning my sensitive skin, that was impressive that I wanted to highlight here. On the other hand, I didn’t have breakout these few months so I couldn’t comment how it would help the post-acne scars.
Overall I think the serum is very comfortable to use on daily basis, no irritation had been noticed, no breakout, suitable to all skin types and you need patience for the whitening result if use it alone. If you want a moisturizing and faster result of whitening, with a condition you have healthy skin, Kose Shirosumi Whitening Serum has better value for periodical treat. The normal retail price of Blanchir Superior Whitening Conclusion is 3595 baht for 45ml, paid 3236 baht for it during promotion. Pricey, make sure you love Kanebo enough to purchase this.
