Review : Shiseido Intensive Spot Correcting Serum Plus

Product Description
A superior anti-spot serum with an intensified power formulation exclusively created to diminish stubborn dark spots. Shiseido-exclusive Melano Sensor System++ now targets troubling spots by crushing melanin* at its core and stopping the vicious cycle of dark-spot formation.** Persistent spots are reduced and future pigmentation is prevented, to even out skin tone for perfectly radiant skin.

Key Ingredients :
m-Tranexamic Acid : targets persistent spots where over-active melanocytes continuously produce excess melanin.
4MSK : diminish the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase to reduce melanin production
Vitamin C : reduce melanin produced from pre-melanin DHICA.
MelanoCRUSH energizer : targets trouble spot / stubborn spots and crushes melanin .

After filling in an online survey form, I received a complimentary 2ml tube which lasts for more than 3 weeks. I used it on spots for the first 2 weeks before using it all over the face a couple of times, and thats how I finished up the whole tube.

It has the typical lovely floral scent found in Shiseido products. The lightweight texture is runny ( lotion-like) and gets absorbed into the skin easily. The SA told me that I could even use it on my undereye area to alleviate my dark circles.

However, I use it on my face only. It claimed to be able to banish dark spots within 10days but I only see a very subtle difference in my 3rd week of usage. My dark spots seemed to be slightly lighter and dispersed, rather than a dark cluster. That said, I have to confess that I am also using a whitening lotion from Naruko which I would be reviewing soon.
It retails for $159.
