xtalastar review for Shirojyun Premium Whitening Lotion Light

This lotion/toner contains Tranexamic Acid as its main ingredient, which is known for lightening and fading hyperpigmentation. Other beneficial ingredients are Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (a Vitamin C derivative), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Sodium Hyaluronate, and Glycerin. Texture is watery but it can be tacky if you use or layer too much. There's a faint smell to it but I'm not sure what exactly that is. I'm just that bad at figuring out scent. 😅🙃 ▶️ My Experience I like to use this right after cleansing, usually in the evening, sometimes both AM and PM, so it could have the first contact on my skin and for deeper penetration. I usually do two layers, let it get absorbed for a few seconds, then continue with the rest of my routine. I never had any skin issues while using it. It actually helps with my redness, and that's a plus point for me. I've noticed that my PIH, which is mostly the main issue on my face, have quite lightened. I've got a quarter more left in the bottle, and I don't think a one whole bottle will help me fade my spots totally as I have these spots for quite a while now. But the new dark marks from healed pimples have really faded away in just a short matter of time. Tried to pair it with arbutin and niacinamide serums, works perfectly fine. Used it also along with BHA and PHA, all good for me. To add one more thing, this provides a good amount of hydration and moisture to my skin. In a humid weather like the Philippines, this and a moisturizer, plus a sunscreen for AM is just enough for me to get through the day without the feeling of dehydration.
