Yesterday, I was talking to my SILs about skin problems. I found out that she has dark spots- a problem most women, aged 30 and above have. Ok, that includes me ; p I shared to her that it's very important to apply sun block every day especially if you are going to be out and under the sun.
Since I have already shared my other secret weapon aside from sun block to her, I also want to share it with you. It is a product that I have accidentally discovered- Brightening Serum. I didn't buy the product but I was one of the lucky few who won the entire range of Neutrogena Fine Fairness last December. The brand is so generous because I got the entire line in regular size bottles, tube and jar.
Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum 30ml PhP999
You know how I often get product sample sent over for review, right? After using a product line for 3 weeks for review, I always go back to Dove/ Celeteque for facial wash, Pond's Cold Cream for make up remover and now I add Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum to my list.
entire range of Neutrogena Fine Fairness sans the mask
- Neutrogena Fine Fairness cleanser 100g PhP299.75
- Neutrogena Fine Fairness cream 50g

after pumping a small amount of brightening serum at the back of my palm
The product's consistency is more watery than creamy. It is very light and therefore easily absorbed by the skin. I put it on before applying primer and make up. If I found a zit on my face, I apply Differin cream first then this product after. I like that it is unscented.
EXTREMELY CLOSE UP- a few more light brown spots left on my right side
After 6 months of using this product, my dark spots are noticeably lighter. It didn't totally erase the dark spots. And I notice that when I stay under the sun, it is inevitable for my dark spot not to show up or darken. I know that the only solution is to have a "face off" haha I am afraid that if I go for a chemical peel, I won't be able to enjoy the beach anymore as my skin will now be more prone to the harmful rays of the sun. Temporarily, I apply this product religiously. I hope the entire 30 ml bottle would last for a year.
this is my no make up office look haha
When going to the office, I seldom put make up on these days. If my now brown spots are gone, I will be totally make up free even during events haha
Neutrogena Fine Fairness Brightening Serum is dermatologist tested. It is non- comedogenic and oil-free. Available in Watsons and SM Department Stores.
