Watch out for more Giveaways during Chinese New Year. There are some really nice products coming up soon.
I’ve used L’oreal White Perfect Range during my teenage time. As I was a sports player last time, I was often under the sun. And I don’t care about putting on sunscreens. But by using the basic cleanser, toner and moisturiser from the range did somewhat worked on me. However, later on I stopped skin brightening regime and changed to oil-controlling and hydrating instead. Now that my skin is more hydrated and sebum secretion is well-controlled, I would like to focus on skin brightening again. Brighter skin makes a person look more energetic and bright. This Melvita brightening products might be a good starter!
Dear Juniper’s Journal,
Have been busy with the CNY house clean up recently and didn’t have much time to visit your site. So happened to see this post as I enter your website haha~
I used Nano White whitening& brightening serum before and it works very well on me. The serum is light, non-sticky and non-oily on my face. I have been using it for half-a-year and when I checked on its effect by comparing my recent photos with my old photos last year, I found that my face is obviously brighter and has a more even complexion. I will definitely return to it because it really works on me and it is relatively cheaper comparing to some other counter brands. Another brand that I really like is Secret White brightening cream. I used this cream for like 1 and half year when I was 13-14 years old. My mum bought this cream for me from Guardian. This cream is amazingly good!!! My skin was brightened very much during the period of usage! I loved the cream so much and asked my mum to replenish when I finished the first tub. However, this brand doesn’t produce brightening cream anymore and now I can’t even find Secret White anymore 🙁
Juniper’s Journal have you heard of Secret White before?
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Juniper’s Journal,
I use Garnier – Skin Naturals Light Moisturizing Cream SPF 15 and it actually work to make my skin fairer and lighten up my acne scar.However, this may not suitable for oily skin as I feel greasy on my T zone. However,it really help to even my skin complexion and somehow it brighten up my skin~Plus,it is quite cheap and I have used this since I started my hostel life and till now I am still using it ^ ^
Besides,I would love to try out Melvita products as I am interested in natural origin products~
Thanks for the giveaway and happy advanced Chinese New Year! ^ ^
Hi dear, I used to have a terrible and sensitive skin during teenagers time, and i have tried on plenty brands of skin care (for eg: M..y K.y, Dr. Tsu, Nadia L…, Dr. Ren..d, Cli..que, but the result was disappointing.
Till one day, someone recommended me Skin Origin from US, a series of skin care that created to reborn skin naturally!! I beat this brand is very strange to Malaysia as I can only get it from my certain places or online. However, I’m very glad and confident to share with u on this products, it really bring miracles on my skin, not only by reducing my acne but repairing the scars of my serious acne totally and return me young and vibrant skin!
After that, i studied carefully on why this this products work so well on my terrible skin.
It’s main ingredient is PENTA PEPTIDES that has the following ability:
1 Intensive Lightening Effect
2 Activation of Collagen synthesis by the fibroblast cell
3 Increases moisture retention of the skin
4 Elevate cell penetrating activity
5 Increase the binding of vitamins
Among the series, my favourite is Radiance Essence, it’s consists of
Kojic Acid, Licorice Extract, Beta-Carotene, Bamboo Extract, Bearberry Extract, Amino Acid Solution. My skin shows a progressive improvement after one month, where it effectively lightens my skin, reducing the appearance of ance scars. It also fade the appearance of dark areas on my face!
I’ve used these products for 2 years and never think of stopping it. I’ll quickly restock them when i found they are going to finish, as they do not have preservative, I’ll have to pre-order it earlier.
Moreover, I’ve heard good reputation of Metiva and would like to have a try on it! ^^

Hi, thanks for helding this cause it is my 1st time to join giveaway =)
My favourite brightening skincare is glow by dr. brandt ruby crystal retinol hydracrème.
I’ve just finish my 1st bottle and using the 2nd one now.
Dr Brandt is still new in our country, previously, I bought it from Sephora. Recently I can spot them in more places!
I dont have any serious skin problem on my face, thus i emphasize on the brightening and flawless of skin. Before this, my skin look dull and dark, and my hubby always complain on this, asking me to use more sun protector to look more like a ‘snow white’ 🙁
Honestly, i did used sun protector daily and avoid myself from the sun, but still my face look so dull..After using dr. brandt ruby crystal retinol for few weeks, at 1st was my hubby who notice the difference! My so happy when he praised that i look more fair than b4 😀
So i compare myself with my photos before i tried dr. brandt ruby crystal retinol. I was amazed by its effectiveness! My skin now look really radiance & glow, easily reflect light as if i apply makeup ( but i didn’t) and the lines & wrinkles on my face are also minimized!
Haha, and now, i become so interested in brightening skincare as tehy can really make a person look young and vibrant! Hope that I’ll have a chance to try on Meitiva too! Thanks!! 🙂
Thank you for another generous giveaway!
I find that most people misunderstand the concept of brightening as the same as whitening. Brightening products brighten a skin for a radiant skin with a glow but it is not necessary to lighten the skin by few tones or getting red of dark spots. It is good to use brightening products for those with dull skin or simply just to even out the skin tone. Some would ask me why do I need brightening products when I am already fair?? Don’t worry, brightening products would not make you look like vampire or ‘Edward Cullen’.
I haven’t venture into using brightening skincare products now because all the while I have been trying to get rid of my acne problem. Once I tried using brightening and it also contain whitening ingredients that caused me to break out even worse than before. Only then that i know brightening and whitening products contain potent ingredients that can cause break out to those with acne prone or still having pimples on skin. Currently, I am afraid of trying any brightening or whitening products although I want a radiant skin if i could.
I read and heard that Melvita is good for brightening especially the Brightening Mask because it brighten the face and also moisturising to the face. What i find is most brightening and whitening is they are mostly drying to the face.
sorry, correction- It is ‘rid’ and not ‘red’… Oh, gosh..so sorry. Having splitting headaches this few days but can’t help to check into your blog =)
– Estee Lauder CyberWhite Brilliant Cells Full Spectrum Brightening Essence
I like CyberWhite. One of my skincare concern was dark spots from acne, and CyberWhite helped me address it. I’ve started to breakout a lot since about 4 years ago, so I’ve accumulated all these years of acne damage. Using this serum and the moisturizer together, though, has been too much for my acne-prone skin. In the evenings I use this serum by itself. Another one is a bit wheat color over the cheeks and slightly dark around the mouth and forehead. I have been using the brightening essence since 8 months. Looks like the dark color is slowly disappearing. I have tried many different creams and lotions looking for a miracle to a brighter face. CyberWhite was the first product that did exactly what it promised I saw results and that’s the bottom line. I’m lucky to find this product. This serum has been WONDERFUL!!!
I would love to try out the Melvita products that the brand has ingredients from natural origin and/or organic farming.
Hi,
My favourite brightening skincare is OLAY White Radiance Intensive Brightening Serum. I am happy with my complexion, but I have a few rigid acne marks on my cheeks which are making my life horrible. On 2009, I really was desperate to get rid of these before my wedding. Although my hubby doesn’t even notice them, but you know how a girl hates such marks. I have been using this serum since a fortnight now and I can already see some noticeable improvement in my skin. My marks look faded now. They have not vanished, but I think they will fade in sometime. I have been applying this as night cream too and I love the way my skin looks plump and fresh in the mornings.
I like the result which BRIGHTENING my skin, uneven tone visibly reduced and skin looks HEALTHY & PLUMP. I’ve used these products for 4years and will repurchase. Of course, I willing to try on other brands brightening product, if I have read the review from your blog. Hope I’ll have a chance ^^
I have used Whitening Spots Specialist by SK-II from your SK-II Brightening Star Products Giveaway for a few months. It contains the new Spot Root Complex, a strong combination of ingredients such as the Pal-pal extract and De-Melano P3C that demonstrates superior whitening efficacy. Upon finishing the bottle, I noticed that my dark spots did get significantly lighter. I would not hesitate to buy another bottle as I am convinced that with continued usage, this product will definitely assist me in lightening my dark spots and eventually make them invisible!
As I have some brown spots and uneven skin tone, I have tried Thomas Roth Potent Botanical Skin Brightening Gel Complex, after using twice a day for 2 months, I did not see any changes on my face. The product reviews are quite good and it contains skin lighteners ingredients like azelaic acid and salicylic acid, but it just did not work for me. I really hope than I can try Melvita Brigtening Skin Care Products as Melvita is an organic products and the active ingredients are patented complex of 5 white flower and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, lactic acid and arginene which I think it can effectively correct the dark spots, prevent and protect against future pigmentation and give hydration and moisture to my sensitive and de-hydrated skin.
Thank you so much for choosing me as the Giveaway Winner. This is my CNY surprise.
I love organic skin care products and glad that i can try Melvita products.
Thank you x 3.
Congrats Kelly!
