One of the products that I use recently is Pond’s White Beauty Pinkish-White Glow Lightening Cream. I’d been using this for almost five months now. Although I don’t apply this product every night (I get so sleepy that sometimes, I skip my pre-sleeping beauty routine), it really worked for …

My oh my, this little baby cost me a whopping $42! Would I repurchase? Not with that price. Anyway, this is a decent product. Because this is called a luminizing pen, I think it’s actually supposed to highlight and brighten the skin, rather than hide it, so I used …
