Ciracle Radiance Whitening Essence Review
Our summer is here and despite tons of sunscreen, my freckles are coming and coming 🙂 I stashed retinol and acids into the far corner of the cabinet and got out this whitening essence by Korean brand Ciracle. The essence is based on whitening mediterranean seaweed extracts. It will make the skin glow, get rid of dull coloring and will provide intense hydration. A so called safe alternative to cosmetics with synthetic whitening components.
You can order these essence on eBay or Amazon.
The essence has a pretty thick consistency of a light lotion. The scent is very weak, cosmetic. Gets absorbed quickly, doesn’t feel heavy and doesn’t leave any stickiness behind. Hydrates fairly well without overloading the skin. Will work great in the summer for any skin type including oily and troubled. It soothes redness, doesn’t clog pores, works as an astringent on inflammation. By the way, post breakout spots disappear faster with this essence.

I’ve been using it morning and night for about a month, freckles became a bit lighter, but sadly the pigmentation spot above my lip and on the bridge of the nose remain in place. The essence evens out the tone well but you shouldn’t expect any miracles of whitening. I would say this essence isn’t whitening but is refreshing to the skin coloring. Packaging – a fat 40 ml bottle from pearlescent plastic. Pipette dispenser. I’m not a big fan of droppers like that, and this one is very short and uncomfortable. To get the needed amount of essence, you have to dip the dropper into the bottle twice.

In general, I like this essence. The skin is even and fresh after use. I didn’t expect powerful whitening. The packaging is slightly irritating but that’s not critical.
