Review: LANEIGE White Plus Renew: Skin refiner, Emulsion and Original Essence

Hi! I’m Rui. 21. I’m from Manila, Philippines
First of, I have a sensitive skin and on some cases other skincare brands I’ve tried gave me irritation/s such as Redness of the cheeks (Mild irritation), Bumps, break out and acne (Severe). What I love about Laneige is I haven’t experience any irritation, even if it’s not for sensitive skin or if it doesn’t say “Hypoallergenic”.

White Plus Renew Line
Spotless clear and bright skin has long been yearned for by every woman on earth since ancient times. Due to UV rays, stress, yellow sand, and exhaust gas found in our daily life, skin tone tends to easily get discolored, with more dry flakes and blotches like brown patches, freckles, and acnes.

LANEIGE White Plus Renew Skin Refiner (1, 450php)
Whitening skin refiner that readies the skin by caring for dead cells, improving skin discoloration.
– Amino-acid peeling ingredients remove the remaining makeup residues, impurities and dead cells, delivering the instantaneous effect of improving skin discoloration. It also serves as a booster to enhance the effect of the whitening effective ingredient for the next stage.
– With containing the Swiss White lupine ingredient that works to reduce the loss of moisture on the skin epidermis, it helps keep your skin hydrated and appear more transparent.

My Verdict: The skin refiner has a serum like consistency, not like our local toner which is a little bit drying this one is very hydrating. A bit sticky at first but once absorbed it’s very light. It has a refreshing feeling when applied and soothing because it calms my cheek redness. Makes your pores smaller and makes your skin more refined.
*I use it during day before I put my sunblock and at night followed by WPR Emulsion and Original Essence
*I prefered applying it to my face using my hands and pat it after application for more absorbtion.

Pros:
– No break out 🙂
– Has brightening effect
– Moisturizing
– Very light
– Easily Absorbed
– You only need a few drops to cover your face
– The scent is a bit citrusy which I really like, the scent goes away after a few seconds

Cons:
– The bottle is made out of glass which is a litte bit heavy especiall if you are travelling.
– Product is hard to dispense, No pump =.=

LANEIGE White Plus Renew Emulsion (1, 650php)
Formulated with watermelon essence, it provides strong hydration.
Laneige White Plus Renew Emulsion is a non-sticky, fresh textured emulsion that softens and calms skin. The sleek product contains White Plus Renew Complex to form a whitening, moisturizing protecting layer on the skin’s surface for white radiant and crystal clear skin.
*Has watermelon extract helps replenish skin’s moisture level and prevent skin dullness.

My Verdict: Truth is I always skip buying emulsion on skincares. *Why? because, on my last experience of using emulsion it made my face oily when I wake up in the morning, increased the production of whiteheads and blackheads. But this emulsion is different it’s texture is creamy yet very light, not sticky nor greasy and very hydrating.

Pros:
– No break out
– Whitening
– Very moisturizing
– Light, doesn’t make you oily
– The scent is a bit lighter than the Skin refiner
– Has pump! Yey! 🙂

Cons:
– None

Verdict: The White Plus Renew Original Essence is my favorite! 🙂 I’ve tried other whitening essence which really works at first but makes my skin rough and dry or makes me oily and give me breakouts. What I love about the original essence is besides its whitening it evens out my skin, it lightens some of my pimple marks and relieves the redness of my cheeks. Moisturizing but not greasy, easily absorbed by the skin. I already have two bottles of this just in case it run out and it’s always out of stock in Laneige-Mall of Asia.

A week of using the WPR Skin refiner, Emulsion, Original Essence my skin is  radiant and glowing 🙂

After 3 weeks and 2 days of using

My skin is much whiter and transparent 🙂 I can now go out without hiding under a concealer and foudation. Yey!

*P.S. I am using the same camera (Eos 650D)  photos are captured with the same Flash and ISO (800)

– Moisturizing no need for moisturizer

– L-proved Remedy (Reduces bumps, blemishes and dullness)

– Very light

– Makes your pimple marks fade

– Nice scent, not so strong and irritating
