BeautyMate: Purifying and Brightening Nano Essence

Product Review: BeautyMate Purifying and Brightening Nano Essence

Price: ~RM50

Where to Buy: Watsons

Texture: White runny

Scent: Light natural floral

I was browsing stuff at the Watsons for some BB Creams when I saw this essence. It is made in Taiwan, but BeautyMate itself is a Japanese brand. This essence caught my eyes as I was thinking that I would need something to help fade my acne scars. At the same time, I saw another brightening essence, under Heme brand. Since there was an available tester for this essence, and none for Heme, I decided to buy this after testing the texture which I really like.

I have now been using this essence for more than a week and no breakouts so far. Thank God! It really is a relief as I'm the kind who always seem to have breakouts whenever I tried anything new. I use 1 to 2 pumps for my face and neck. 

The essence absorbs fast and doesn't leave oily look, even after a day.

Here's the list of its ingredients...

Ingredients:

Diethylhexyl Carbonate, Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate, Phenoxyethanol, Methyparaben, Dilauryl Citrate, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, JojobaOil, Mehtylisothiazolinone, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbarnate & Propylene Glycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alryl Acrylate, Crosspolymer, Water, Niacinamide, Sodium PCA, PEG-120 Jojoba Esters, Sodiom HyaluronateGlycerin, Btylene Glycol, Morus Nigra Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol/Yeast Extract, Styrene/Acrylamide Copolymer Polymethylsilsesquioxane Dimethicone/Cetearyl Methicone/Isohexadecane Polyquaternium-51, Water & Phospholipids & Ursolic Acid, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, France, Trithanolamine, Gentiana Lutea Root, Black Pearl Powder

What it says on the box:

BeautyMate Purifying and Brightening Nano Essence contains Gentiana Lutea Root Extract and Black Pearl Extract. Use together with Beautymate Purifying Nano Lotion or Cream for best whitening results. Gentiana Lutea Root Extract and Black Pearl Powder can effectively brighten and hydrate skin and minimize melanin and spots, improve dull skin tone and prevent new formation of melanin for thorough whitening results.

What I think:

So far so good, I can see slight brightening effect as my skin doesn't look so dull or too tanned like before. I've only been using this for a week, so no real dramatic change yet. 

Repurchase: No, as I would like to try other brightening or whitening essence from brands like Heme, Sophia Monk or Naruko.
