It's been quite some time since I've published any new entries! Please forgive me, this is truly inexcusable but I've got some time now as I'm waiting to board my plane to Shanghai - > Incheon Airport, Seoul - South Korea.
Without further interruption, let's get into this product review. . !
Rohto Melano CC Vitamin White Mist
Product description: CC Mist to rid of melanin production (prevent + remove dark spots, sun spots, etc)
Scent: To be completely honest, I cannot tell you that I remember the exact scent because I purchased this during my visit to Japan in August 2016. . However, it was a very strong synthetic fragrance that I knew wouldn't work well with my skin.
Personal experience: I'm going to be completely honest, when I first applied it and felt a sting. . I thought, well. . Essentially it's meant to brighten and stop melanin, maybe that's normal as we begin the process of using this regularly?
For example, as I've reviewed The Face Shop - White Seed Vitamin C 10% Ampoule, using it my first time caused a bit of a stinging sensation. However, over a week, I hadn't noticed anymore of the mild stinging that was unbelievably uncomfortable.
I kept trying with this mist and was not happy, I have to admit the mist is a very nice, fine spray. However, even still this did not excuse the performance of this product. .
I can't recall the price of this product, but I believe it was around $9.00 USD, which didn't seem bad at first.
It wasn't until my first use of the product and the feeling on my face, I felt that the product didn't absorb quickly at all . . As if sitting on my face, just the surface not even providing hydration. Immediately I felt discomfort from it, and I can't explain how it felt besides saying it was just an unpleasant feeling.
Similar to putting on a greasy moisturizer, just that exact feeling of not being completely satisfied by a product.
It didn't help that this product didn't seem effective after a month of use, as well every time causing my skin to react and become red.
The redness can only be described as when one uses a product with a high amount of fragrance and alcohol, just that feeling of "why did I just put that on my skin?"
I didn't see any results and tried very hard to review this product properly, considering I had bought two during my impulse buying in Osaka.
I ended using the bottle on my body which didn't sit on the skin well, but didn't irritate the skin from the surface either.
Eventually, I got tired of doing that and just threw it out as the product just wasn't at all what I had hoped.
Product testing period: 1 month
Ingredients: click here to view ingredients of this product. .
The extracts aren't that bad at all, and even the use of witch hazel is reassuring. . Though what's obvious is the use of alcohol. . And my skin + alcohol = bad experience.
Rate: 1/5, sorry.
