Clear Essence Lemon Plus Vitamin C Skin Beautifying Milk for Brightening & Even Tone 4 oz
A beautifying milk is thinner than a cream and thicker than a toner, which is a useful consistency for something you are applying over a large area every day.
Clear Essence build this one on lemon extract and vitamin C, both aimed at the look of uneven tone. Used consistently it softens the appearance of dark spots and the patches left behind by old blemishes or sun, and it evens out overall tone rather than lightening the skin as a whole. The base is moisturising, so it is not the drying, astringent experience vitamin C products sometimes are, and skin is left soft rather than tight.
Four ounces is a small bottle, so it is best used on the areas that need it rather than head to toe. Apply to clean skin and let it absorb before anything goes on top. As with any vitamin C product, follow with sunscreen if you are using it in the morning.

Application tips
Smooth it over clean skin, morning and night, in a thin layer rather than a thick one. It goes on before anything heavier and after any water-based serum.
Vitamin C and lemon both leave skin more sensitive to daylight, so sunscreen over the top in the morning is not optional. On the body, work it in while the skin is still damp from the shower.
Results
Skin looks brighter within a fortnight, with dullness lifting first and the look of dark marks softening more slowly over a couple of months. Tone reads more even, particularly across the cheeks and the backs of the hands.
The texture is a light milk, so it sinks in without tackiness and sits fine under makeup. Skin feels smooth and comfortable rather than tight.
