After a few weeks of trying out samples and convincing myself (and my budget), I eventually took the plunge and invested in the Estee Lauder Crescent White Collection which I was told is best for Asian skin. This is a 24-hour brightening system which is gentle for year long use. It protects by day and repairs by night. It also calms down the skin, prevents dullness and discoloration.

Since using Estee Lauder, I have noticed a dramatic change! The texture of my skin is silky smooooth and my face looks brighter and more radiant! The best part? - My spots have almost completely disappeared!!

I started noticing the difference within the first week (seriously!) and my friends and family noticed too. The best feeling is having strangers come up to you and asking what you use on your skin. That for me was the best kind of reassurance.

My routine is a simple 4 step process:

Cleanse: The cleanser is foamy and rich. A little bit is enough for a creamy lather and works as an amazing makeup remover too.

Serum: The liquid serum absorbs into your skin quickly leaving it feeling rejuvenated

Moisturizer: A little also goes a long way with the moisturizer. It hydrates your skin and is a great prep and prime product too!

Sunblock (Day time only): You should always follow with an SPF50 sunscreen, even under your makeup!

This was well worth the investment and if you can afford it I would definitely say go for it! It will change the way look at skincare forever!
