I tried a few brands before, because I wanted to lighten my skin tone (not become neccessarily like korean fair, but lighter to match my body's tone). So far, i used to try babies blink (a local product, and only after using it i knew that it contains mercury, yikes) so i stopped using it. It did however, brighten my complexion abit and the people around me noted that i look brighter and glowy.. I even noticed it myself. Not the tone I was aiming for, but it did something.
Then i stopped, after finding out that ppl said it has mercury in it (idk if its indeed true, i didnt bother researching abt it more)
I tried a few other skincare brands with vit c like some by mi, (which stung my face so i threw it away) and also the ordinary products with alpha arbutin, and another one is the pure vit c (the lowest concentration, bcs my skin is very sensitive and dry so i dont want to risk using high ones.) in all honestly, i didnt see much difference but i guess it just maintained my face
The thing abt skincare is, you have to try and error alot of products and wait for a few weeks/months to see the result.. Its like a gamble, bcs if you buy expensive ones, theres no guarantee it will work out for your skin.
Ive also tried collagen drinks like Kcolly and Kitsui BB, but i dont think it gave me any noticeable affect. Maybe bcs i used each of them for only 1 month..
I have come to the stage in my life where im starting to appreciate how I look, and how my skin looks, even if there are times where i preferred it to look abit different. Self love comes a long way
If anyone has recommendations from the drugstore like watsons, guardian or sasa that do give them a very obvious affect (and most importantly, SAFE!) Do recommend
