Review: Bio-essence Tanaka White

Want flawless clear skin? You got to try Bio-essence's Tanaka White series! Many girls have the wrong idea about brightening/whitening products, because they feel that there's no need for them to become any fairer. This is where most girls will go wrong when they are choosing skincare products.

Skincare products with brightening/whitening functions help to even out your skin tone (Please don't tell me you have even skin tone because that is IMPOSSIBLE). It will also help in the lightening of pigmentation or dark sports that have formed over time due to over-exposure of the sun.

With Bio-essence's products, you will be able to achieve the skin that all women wants -- Porcelain skin.




The newly formulated 4X Intensive Whitening Serum (RTP: S$45.80) consist of Alpha-Arbutin, an whitening ingredient that is 9X more powerful than Beta-Arbutin. It is guaranteed to give you total fairness inside-out as it helps to prevent the formation of melanin and protect skin against harmful UV rays, improving dull skin tone for a visibly fairer complexion.  

With constant use, spots will gradually fade away to restore a flawless, fairer and more radiant complexion. For those without major dark spots problems but seeking prevention and to achieve a fairer even skin tone, the serum helps to effectively lighten skin tone, keeping skin radiant and fair from within while preventing spot formation. 

Product efficacies: 
  • Effectively lightens existing pigments and spots 
  • Blocks tyrosinase and inhibits the production of melanin to prevent dark spots and reduces darkening after UV exposure 
  • Evens out skin tone, whitens & brightens complexion 
  • Moisturizes and cools skin 
  • Skin exudes radiance, revealing a smooth, fair & healthy-looking complexion.  Skin’s fairness intensifies for flawless fair skin which glows from within. 
So after you wash your face, apply your favourite toner/softener and then apply a generous amount of the Whitening serum onto your face AND NECK (You do not want the colour of your face and neck to be too different aye!)

What I really like about this series is the colour combination on the bottles :p Who can resist pink & white?! This serum comes with a dropper -- my favourite type of dispenser. Some may argue that the constant contact with air is unhygienic but it looks too sophisticated, so I'm still a sucker for dropper-dispenser hehe.



and then moving on to moisturizer~



The Double Whitening Day Cream comes with SPF 20 (RTP:S$29.80), Tanaka Extract and Tranexamic Acid to help suppress excessive production of melanin, protects skin from harmful sunlight and repairs skin for instant fairness from within so that skin glows with crystal clear luminosity. It is Uniquely formulated with Hyaluronic Acid to keep skin hydrated and moisturized, it is lightly textured with a non-greasy formula to facilitate fast absorption while Tanaka Extract helps to keep skin cool.

Product efficacies: 
  • SPF20 to protect against harmful UV rays 
  • Tanaka Extract shields skin from external pollutants, keeps skin cool and moisturized 
  • Contains Tranexamic Acid to significantly brighten and even out skin tone 
  • Provides skin with trace minerals and precious herbal extracts such as ginseng, angelica, and gingko 
  • Lightens and prevents freckles, dark spots and pigmentation



First Impression: I did not really fancy the texture at first but after I spread it out evenly onto the back of my hand, it instantly moisturizes my hand with a smooth, velvet texture -- Not sticky at all!

Captured the back of my hand without/with flash. I only applied to half of my hand and you can see the difference very clearly! Look how moisturized the right side of hand looks!


With SPF20, you can even skip your sunscreen if you're lazy! I'll still advice you to apply it everyday because prevention is better than cure!
