Radian-C Brightening Treatment Essence
Lots of people forgot about Vitamin C for retinol and retinal. There are plenty of reasons why Vitamin C is one of the top active ingredients. It's an antioxidant - it fights free radical damage. It stimulates collagen type I and III as well as elastin production. It protects your skin from photoaging. It boosts the UV protection of sunscreens (that's why we should apply it during the morning routine). It helps with both PIH & PIE. I feel like PIE is still hard for people to treat because products to fight PIE are not promoted by companies in the right way. We need substances with anti-inflammatory and soothing properties more than tyrosinase inhibitors. These are just a few of the positive effects of vitamin C in skincare. It's good to mix vitamin C with other ingredients like vitamin E, niacinamide or ferulic acid. We shouldn't forget about different forms of vitamin C in skincare.
PACKAGING
Laneige Radian-C Advanced Effector is not the first product from the Radian-C series. Similar to Laneige Radian C-Cream, this product comes in an orange box with white details on the packaging. I feel like Laneige went for glass in the Radian-C series since the bottle of Effector is made out of glass. This bottle contains 150ml of the product. The white cap is plastic.
TEXTURE
Laneige Radian-C Advanced Effector is similar to toner or essence. It's a liquid formula.
How does it work?
Laneige Radian-C Advanced Effector is a combination of Vitamin C and Super Berry Complex which is supposed to make Laneige Radian-C Advanced Effector four times stronger than regular Vitamin C. This product targets dead skin cells, skin tone and dull skin, moisture, skin barrier, firmness and skin texture. You can use Laneige Radian-C Advanced Effector with a cotton pad or hand. I use my hand since you create less waste when you tap toner into your skin with the palm of your hand. The formula is biodegradable at 92,5%. By the way, this product is supposed to go along with other products from Radian-C line like ampoule, cream and suncream.
SCENT
You can smell alcohol in this product
HOW DOES IT WORK
I'm not a fan of Laneige Radian-C Advanced Effector. I'm aware that Laneige used Alcohol Denat in this formula to help transport active substances deeper, but my skin didn't enjoy this product. It wasn't bad or meh, it's super neutral. The alcohol scent is heavy, and it feels like a never-ending product. Honestly, you don't need it to make Laneige Radian-C Cream works. I was very excited to try it, and I guess I had enormous expectations. I'm not a fan of this product, if you think that you need this essence to make Laneige Radian-C Cream work better - go for it, but in my opinion, Laneige has many better products or you can choose Laneige's sister brands like IOPE instead if you want a powerful essence.
