About two months backs, at the start of this cold season to be precise, I was facing a really bad dull skin issue. My face looked drab with big pores, dark spots, and patchy skin. As if not enough, the fines around my mouth and between the brows too suddenly started to make their appearance felt like some planned conspiracy against my vanity!
Fearing for my complexion, while also desiring to try something new, as I always do, I decided to try the much raved about White Seed Brightening Skincare Range by the famous Korean beauty brand The Face Shop. I’d already heard some great reviews of this skincare line and it’s samples were lying with me untouched since Summer.
And so began my new Korean white seed brightening skincare regime. Three days on and my skin started to get better. I know it sounds like an awful infomercial but seriously guys, I’m not kidding! I actually saw dramatic improvements in my skin texture. Now I know why they say that Korean skincare technology is 7 years ahead of what’s happening elsewhere in the world in the field of skincare and beauty.
So without any further ado, I’ll take you guys straight to this day’s review

None at all.

Yes.
Suitable for summer/winter?
All weathers.
How’s the texture like?
The Face Shop White Seed Brightening Toner
Runny, translucent texture like a mixture of water and milk.
The Face Shop White Seed Brightening Serum
It’s milky white in color and has a slight thicker texture than the toner.
The Face Shop White Seed Brightening Lotion
Very light-weight, non-greasy lotion that’s also milky white in color.
How do you use it?
The Face Shop White Seed Brightening Toner
This takes a second step in my skincare routine, after cleansing my face with Clarins gentle foaming face wash.
While the directions on the bottle says to take out adequate amount on a cotton ball and then wipe it all over your face. But I however, take out desired amount on my palm, rub both hands together and then pat them all over my face.
The Face Shop White Seed Brightening Serum
I use it after the toner. Dispense two pumps and apply all over my face and neck until absorbed.
The Face Shop White Seed Brightening Lotion
This makes the fourth step in my skincare regime before applying sunscreen. Take required amount and massage it in my skin using fingertips. By now, my skin looks perfectly hydrated and absolutely radiant.
Will you see immediate results or does it work behind the scenes?
Unlike most prescription creams or OTC whitening creams that work behind the scenes and give you results only after a period of consistent use, this is one brightening skincare range, where you’ll actually see immediate results.
Skin instantly looks softer, plumper, hydrated and brighter upon applying than before.
How long have you tested these products for?
It’s been more than two months I’m using this range. I’ve already ran out of the serum due to both AM & PM use and about to finish the toner again due to both AM & PM use.
Because I use the lotion only in my AM routine, it’s still good to go for another 15-20 days.
What it has done for your skin?
- Maintain skin’s hydration: Yes
- Restore skin’s radiance and luminosity: Yes, yes, yes.
- Lighten and brighten overall complexion: Yes
- Fade dark spots: No
- Even out complexion: Somewhat
- Diminish appearance of fine lines: No
- Prevents and treats wrinkles: Can’t say!
- Reduce appearance of large pores: Yes
Coming to the point, for me, it’s all about No.1, No. 2, No.3, and No.8. As soon as I put on all these products in sequence, my face looks like a sparkly crystal ball reflecting all the light that falls on my pearlescent skin – it’s like getting an entire spa day in just two minutes or less!
What’s good about it?
The ethos, the texture, the fragrance, and the way this range makes you look and feel – bright and alive!
It has all the goodness of natural actives sans any chemicals or harmful ingredients. Aesthetically, The Face Shop white seed brightening range truly lives up to both its name and claims. The formulas are impeccably designed to give you that gorgeous Korean glass skin experience by restoring natural radiance and youthful glow of the skin.
What’s bad about it?
This didn’t really work well for my fine lines and dark spots. May be because I’d been into a lot of acids the last couple of years that natural stuff has stopped working on my stubborn marks and lines.
Also, the reason I tried this range was to brighten up my dull complexion and to experience something new. And in that department, I must say it has worked way beyond my expectations. I’m loving my bright, bouncy skin and I’m loving The Face Shop white seed range.
R2B Rating:
5/5
Bottomline:
All assured, the range carries all the right ingredients for all the right reasons. So it should work well for a lot of you guys. There are tons of rave reviews on the net backing its claims and supporting your decision to try it.
Korean beauty is causing a lot of stir in the skincare industry and it’s not just style over substance. I like The Face Shop, it’s a simple, yet effective Korean brand that cares less about charming bottles but more about bringing effective natural skincare solutions.
I loved their sheet masks, I loved this range and I think I’ll like their other products too.
I love that this brand is free of all the chemicals which are not good for skin. Have to give a try to this product.
Wow.. this sounds amazing. I have read many good reviews but never really believed it. But now am beginning to think it must really work. Will try it sometime when my current serums get over…
