Brighter, healthier skin is everyone's goal but UV rays is all around us ( either we stay outdoor or indoor ) which cause problem to our skin's health, and back again ; nothing comes instantly.We have to maintain our skins daily and it takes time indeed. Hence, here I introduce you to the newest brightening product series from Malaysian skincare line that brings 7 NO's as their philosophy ( no artificial perfume, no artificial color, no lanolin, no mineral oil, no comedogenic substance, no SD alcohol, and no paraben ), CLINELLE. If you read my previous review about Clinelle CaviarGold, you must knew how much I love those products, so when I received the package of their new products, I just can't wait to try them all ! Wondering do these products really work for my skin ? Let's just begin the review :)


What it is :
Clinelle WhitenUp series is designed with Anti Photoaging technology that can brighten and maintain skin from UV rays for 24 hours, day and night. This product range formulated with Japanese rice purple that can enhance the efficacy of Vitamin C to promote fairer skin, Vitamin C to improve skin texture and stimulate collagen formation, and Daisy flower extract, and Great Mullein flower extract for the night cream to absorb harmful UV radicals and transform into source of light that illuminate skin from within.

Clinelle WhitenUp comes in 7 variant products :
Brightening Cleanser, Brightening Toner, Brightening Spot Corrector Essence, Brightening Serum, Brightening Day Cream SPF 20, Brightening Night Cream, and Facial Mask.

1. BRIGHTENING CLEANSER







What it is : 
A non-drying gel cleanser that has can brighten skin tone, remove skin dullness impurities, and soothe skin.

How to use : 
Pour sufficient amount onto damp hands and work into a lather. Massage over entire face and neck and then rinse with lukewarm water. Use it twice a day for maximum result.

My review :
Just like what you can see from the picture above, the tube is safely sealed and the hole size of the tube is pretty decent. Texture of this gel cleanser is quite dense with slight watery and the scent is extremely strong. I can't describe it perfectly but it has the scent that once you smell it, it would stay for long time. This product has less foamy and after cleansing I can feel my face looks clean and fresh (note : before using this product, I cleanse with cleanser oil/micellar water to remove waterproof makeup first ). However, it feels a little greasy for the first few minutes which makes me have to wait until it completely absorbs into my skin before going to the next skincare step.

PROS :
- Safely sealed packaging
- Less foamy and non-drying
- Cleanse well and freshen up face

CONS :
- Extremely strong scent
- Greasy feeling after use

Rate : 2.5 out of 5
Price : IDR 99.000 ( around $6.80 ) / size 100mL


2. BRIGHTENING TONER





What it is :
A toner that can brighten skin tone, soothe and hydrate skin with 6 essential oils, refine pores and tone up the skin, plus improve the absorption of subsequent products.

How to use :
Spray over entire cleansed face and neck with eye closed. Gently dap the tone until it absorbs into skin. Use it twice a day for maximum result.

My review :
This is my personal opinion but I always like toner that comes in spray packaging because I feel it makes me easy to use it since most of toner comes in water form. Well, this toner is safely wrapped with plastic seal and the spray works perfectly so it doesn't spray too much. It has soft, watery texture that absorbs into skin quickly, but it has slightly same scent with the cleanser. The scent is extremely strong although not as strong as the cleanser. I am not saying that it has unpleasant scent, it's just not my type. However, after applying this toner, my face feels refreshed, hydrated. and soothed.

PROS :
- Safely wrapped packaging
- Decent spray form
- Absorbs into skin quickly
- Leaves face refreshed, hydrated, and soothed

CONS :
- Extremely strong scent

Rate : 3 out of 5

3. BRIGHTENING SPOT CORRECTOR ESSENCE






What it is :
A silky-rich with high potency spot corrector essence that can reduce pigmentation, lighten dark spots and scars, discoloration, and improve skin tone.

How to use :
Apply on targeted dark spots after using cleanser and toner. Use it twice a day for maximum result.

My review :
Cute, mini tube that comes with paper box and safely sealed. It has light-creamy texture and absorbs quickly into skin. Different with the cleanser and toner, this essence has decent scent although still not my favorite. Actually I have no major problem with pigmentation or dark spot so I apply this essence to some acne scars - and I only need small amount of essence to cover whole spots which is very economic! Well, although I can't really notice the result until now, I like the feeling after using this product because my skin feels so hydrated and it seems like the scars are getting faded day by day.

PROS :
- Safely sealed packaging
- Economic
- Absorbs quickly
- Hydrate skin

CONS :
- Only comes in small size ( 15mL )

Rate : 3.5 out of 5
Price : IDR 259.000 ( around $17.80 ) / size 15mL


3. BRIGHTENING SERUM








What it is :
A high-concentrate serum to prevent and lighten skin pigmentation, improve dull skin and even out skin tone, promote skin radiance, makes skin feels lifted and firmed.

How to use :
After cleanser and toner ( plus spot corrector essence ), apply sufficient amount of serum all over face and neck with upward movement. Best to use it twice a day.

My review :
This probably my favorite item among all WhitenUp series. This serum has luxury-minimalist packaging that comes with sealed paper box. It has gel texture, super light, and absorbs into skin pretty quick. It also has similar scent with the cleanser and toner but more decent. I use this serum every morning and night just like the direction and I only need small amount to be applied on face and neck. I can feel that this serum works pretty well to my skin. It soothe very well and freshen up the skin. Since this serum can absorb into skin quickly, it doesn't leave greasy feeling at all and leaves skin well-moisturized.

PROS :
- Luxury packaging
- Light gel texture and absorbs into skin quickly
- Economic
- Soothe, freshen up skin
- Doesn't leave greasy feeling

CONS :
- Strong scent

Rate : 4 out of 5

5. BRIGHTENING DAY CREAM SPF 20








What it is :
A non-greasy, light texture moisturizer that protects skin from sun, maintain skin from dark spots, brighten skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and boost skin elasticity, nourish and moisturize skin.

How to use :
After serum, apply sufficient amount of day cream all over face and neck with upward movement. Use it once a day for morning routine.

My review :
I like how this day cream includes SPF already so I don't need to apply sunscreen anymore. I use this day cream as the last step of skincare routine in the morning, especially 30 minutes before going out. Just like the other products, it comes with sealed paper box and the tube is similar with the cleanser. One thing I dislike the packaging of this product is that it has too much air inside the tube thus when I try to take the cream, it takes a little effort. However, this day cream works pretty good. It has thick, creamy texture but it absobs into skin pretty quick. Just like what it claims, this product moisturize, nourish my skin well enough, and it doesn't leave greasy feeling.

PROS :
- Safely sealed packaging
- 2 in 1 day cream ( moisturizer + sunscreen )
- Absorbs into skin quickly
- Moisturize and nourish skin pretty well
- Doesn't leave greasy feeling

CONS :
- Too much air inside the tube

Rate : 3.75 out of 5
Price : IDR 239.000 ( around $16.45 ) / size 40mL


6. BRIGHTENING NIGHT CREAM








What it is :
A nourishing night cream that protects skin from photo-aging, transform skin into more vibrant, repair and promote cell renewal through the night, nourish and support skin's moisture barrier.

How to use :
Apply over cleansed face and neck after serum with upward movement. Use it at night before sleep.

My review :
I like the simple yet luxury packaging of this night cream that comes with unique spatula. It has thick, creamy texture - different with the rest, this night cream has soft, pleasant scent although still having hint of same scent. This cream is also very economic because I only need small amount to be applied all over face and neck. It leaves my skin nourished and well-moisturized indeed, but I just feel it's a little bit too much because it doesn't absorb into skin quickly and makes my skin feels greasy even after the next morning when I wake up.

PROS :
- Luxury packaging and safely sealed
- Comes with spatula
- Soft, pleasant scent
- Nourish and moisturize skin

CONS :
- Doesn't absorb into skin quickly
- Skin feels greasy until the next morning

Rate : 3 out of 5
Price : IDR 269.000 ( around $18.50 ) / size 40mL


I've been using this Clinelle WhitenUp series for around two weeks and honestly I haven't seen the result either my face looks brighter or not - but these products seem more suitable for people who has normal to dry skin because almost all of those products has dewy-glowing finish which probably may cause problem for people with oily skin ( especially for the night cream ). Anyway, if you want to give it a try, I would really recommend you to try the serum first before getting the rest, it's just - super!

So, are you interested in brightening products ? Which skin care do you currently use ?
Let me know your thought :)
