hello besties! I'm here with another local brand from Indonesia🌝 it's SkinBae - Advance Brightening Serum (30ml)
❓what's so special about this serum?
this serum is the first local product to use Korean Forsythia (Korean Bellflower) as the main ingredients. Korean Forsythia contains 3 TIMES as much as arbutin and kojic acid when it comes to brighten the skin and can be easily penetrate to the deepest layer of the skin. and the most interesting thing is that this serum is formulated directly in South Korea! that's why I'm so eager to try this.

💭Review
comes in a 30ml frosted glass dropper bottle and a super CUTE white colored box with information about their main ingredients. the PAO of this product is 12M.
the texture is a bit viscous, there is a sticky feeling when applied to the skin but it doesn't bother me because after that it'll absorbs perfectly👌
as for the scent, it has calming floral scent. fyi, this serum isn't artificial fragrance free. the skin around my mouth is very sensitive, it'll feel burnt or hot when I use a new product that has fragrance in it. however when I use this serum on my skin, my skin doesn't feel burnt/hot at all.
but if you really can't tolerate fragrance, it's better to do a patch test first.
i've tried this serum for ±2 weeks. I was very curious about its brightening ability, so I only used it on the chin area because the skin on my chin area is darker than other areas of my face. it'll make it so much easier to tell if anything has changed in those 2 weeks.
as you can see in the before after photo, my chin became brighter than before. although not as bright as the cheek, but at least there is a significant change. that means it actually does what it claims.
I think i'll get even more maximum results if I use it for a longer time.
💸IDR 150.000 ($10.53 USD)
