Let There Be Bright!

There's never a dull moment when it comes to K-Beauty! Essentially the Mecca of whitening products, bright, luminous skin with a youthful glow has always been the hallmark of that quintessential Korean look, and it's no surprise they've got quite a few lightening products up their sleeves. Here are a couple that are our favorite picks, giving you that bright, radiant complexion without breaking the bank (too much).

W-Lab White Holic Cream 

Looking for a quick fix? This whitening cream smooths over the skin like a moisturizer, leaving behind light, radiant skin. Made with niacinamide, and rice bran extract, this product cools down the skin to soothe irritations, while absorbing into the skin without any stickiness.

W-Lab Lovely Face Cream

If you're hunting down a brighter complexion without the commitment, try out W-Lab's Lovely Face Cream. It's infused with chia seed, blueberry and magnolia extracts, aiding in keeping your skin moisturized and fresh all day. Choose to use it as a primer under makeup, or on its own for a bright, rosy complexion. 

Nella Fantasia Oneday Whitener Magical Cream

Magical is right! This cream actually smooths itself out after usage, returning to a silky smooth pudding that just tingles our aesthetic senses. Containing amino acids, peptides and minerals, this cream is a hydrating one that keeps the skin feeling plump and fresh throughout the day. Just scoop out, swipe on and you're good to go!

Cloud 9 Blanc De Whitening Cream

One of the OG K-Beauty whitening products, Cloud 9's whitening powers are instantaneous and last up to a whopping 12 hours! With a whipped, almost curd-like consistency, this cream-to-powder product is made with aloe, snow lotus, white ginseng and other amazing plant extracts to reduce melanin in the skin. It also helps to lighten dark UV spots and evens out skin tones with continuous use. 

 How to use: Squeeze or scoop out an adequate amount and apply evenly onto the skin, gently tapping in to blend out and for better absorption.

We love the instant brightening effects of these products, and for days when our complexions are feeling dark and full, these are the perfect pick-me-ups.
