The White Snow Tea Brilliant Essence is supposed to stop the over-production of melanin in the skin, leaving your skin bright without dark spots. While whitening and moisturizing your skin, this essence will leave you with a luminous, smooth, clear complexion.
The essence comes in a pearlized plastic bottle with a handy pump top.
The ingredients list is pretty nice! Only two tiny comedogenic risks, but are both a low 1 out of 5, so no real threat. [cosdna analysis]
The thought of using black tea (camellia sinensis) water instead of plain water in skincare intrigued me. What are the benefits?
Polyphenol: anti-aging, anti-bacterial, anti-viral
Vitamin B1: radiant
Vitamin B2: natural barrier
Vitamin B Complex Niacin: whitening, skin elasticity, strengthen skin barrier
Vitamin E: moisture, anti-aging, environmental protection
Vitamin H: skin reactivator
Minerals [potassium, magnesium, calcium, manganese, iron, zinc]: moisture, elasticity
Catechin: antioxidant, anti-agin
Theanin: maintain moisture level
Caffeine/Tannin: detoxification, sterilization
-black tea also eliminates toxins and heavy metals from the skin.
The essence looks like a thin lotion or emulsion [1.] but melts once you start rubbing it into your skin [2.]. Once applied to the skin it leaves a moist layer as it absorbs [3.] but after just a minute or two it fully absorbs and leaves no residue or tackiness behind [4.].
The photos below are showing changes due to a number of products, but one of them is the A.True White Snow Tea Brilliant Essence. The first photo was taken on August 7th (right before starting use of this essence) and the second photo was taken on September 15th. With the help of this essence, my skin is noticeably brighter and lighter (ignore my acne please, that is a different story all-together).
You can find the A.True White Snow Tea Brilliant Essence on Cupidrop.com for $40 [40ml]

Great review! But it's the A-True that should feel humbled at the opportunity to drape itself over your face, not the other way around ;) I desperately want all the A.True this one and the Black Tea Essence one. Maybe I should...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great product, love the ingredients list! Your skin is obviously brighter.
