Many people got positive benefits from using this Radiant Skin Serum. But, the most interesting one for me is its ability to reduce hyperpigmentations. I’m well aware that it doesn’t give the same effect to everyone. There’s a possibility that it doesn’t do anything for me at all. But, I wouldn’t know how it works on me if I didn’t give it a shot, right?
Ah, I want to give a disclaimer before you guys keep on reading this review… I tried this serum when I was in an on-and-off period of using skincare because of something that I can’t explain. It might affect the result on me.
IDR199,000 for 20ml.
Packaging
A frosted glass bottle. The colour is red & it’s dark to keep it safe, nothing special from the bottle.
Scent
There’s a garlic-like smell from this serum. It’s very similar to Wardah White Secret Pure Treatment Essence’s smell. If I’m not mistaken, the odour that comes from this serum is less overwhelming than the one from Wardah’s. I’m not sure, though, if it’s because I get used to such smell, or it’s actually is less robust.
This serum is very liquidy. It doesn’t leave any tackiness and is fast-absorbing.

I didn’t experience any breakout or irritation in any form while using this product. But, sometimes I feel it stings on my skin. The sting isn’t much, so I don’t really mind. The most significant effect I notice while using it is it helps brighten my overall complexion. Even though it helps brighten my skin, I don’t feel like it makes such a significant difference on fading the acne scars, or hyperpigmentations to be exact.
Would I recommend this serum, though? Yes, I would. It doesn’t reach my high expectation, but we must always remember that every skin is different. It might work better on you. And it’s not like it doesn’t give any effect to my skin. It successfully makes my skin tone brighter a lot.
It is more suitable for people who are dealing with dull skin, hyperpigmentations, and/or dark spots. Not recommended if you still have many active acne. If your skin is sensitive, I suggest you consult with a dermatologist or the brand.
Pros
+ helps brighten the skin
+ lightweight, liquidy texture that’s fast-absorbing
+ interesting ingredients used
+ a local product
Cons
- quite pricey
- unflattering smell
