ELLE TESTS
SKIN BRIGHTENERS
By Amy Lawrenson
In winter not only do you have to put up with miserable weather but also freezing winds and central heating can play havoc with your skin. A schizophrenic complexion is not uncommon, but with spring just around the corner a blemish-free, dewy glow is what you really need! So to help, we put six skin brightening creams to the test to find out if they could sort out our unruly complexions in time for the summer, here's the results...
White Lucency Serum, £70 by Shiseido
This serum was light in texture but creamy enough that it moisturised my skin without having to overload it with extra products. I was more than happy to apply this serum twice a day as the scent was light and pleasant, it left my skin feeling plumped and well moisturised without being over saturated. My skin felt and looked instantly brighter and my uneven skin tone was illuminated to give a clearer appearance which makes this my new favourite product. Furthermore, the packaging was also very appealing which makes not only my skin but my bathroom cabinet look brighter.
Best for: illuminating
Verdict: 3/5
