If you are reading this blog, you're probably like me who's really into skin whitening. While everyone else from the other parts of the world aim for that tan skin, here in the Philippines, skin whitening is really a "trend". Filipinos are naturally tan but majority of us wants to have that fair skin like snow white. LOL. There are people who are taking glutathione capsules and some goes to the extent of glutathione injection/IV ( intravenous). I tried using whitening soaps,lotions & capsules but not the IV ones. Don't get wrong, I just don't have the courage to face that needle. lol.
As a skincare junkie, I was really excited to try these Snow Skin Whitening products from Vida Nutriscience ( makers of Snow Caps and My Slim ) and since it was new in the Philippine market, I was curious about these so called 7 Elite Skin Whitening Actives because I haven't heard these ingredients before, except Alpha Arbutin.
LOTION - 799 pesos
CREAM - 1,499 pesos
Here are the 7 Elite Skin Whitening Actives these products want to emphasize. They contain high concentration ( not to the extent that can harm us but the recommended formulation ) of these key ingredients that's why these lotion and cream excel from their counterparts.
