Curél's new whitening skincare range for dry and sensitive skin was launched in September this year which is said to help in
1) gentle brightening of dark spots and freckles
2) suppressing melanin production
3) improving skin moisture level for clear and radiant skin.
I redeemed a complimentary Curel Whitening Moisture Series Trial Kit from their Facebook sampling ad which consists of Curel Whitening Lotion II 8ml, Whitening Moisture Essence 3ml and Whitening Moisture Face Milk 8ml, enabling me to use for about 5 days for the lotion, 6 days for the essence and slightly more than a week for the face milk, twice a day.
I really enjoyed such sampling kits for me to try out the texture of the products before investing in the full sizes. It helps one to make a more informed choice and reduce waste.
Made in Japan, Curel Whitening Moisture Series help to inhibit melanin production to prevent dark spots and freckles and replenishes function of ceramide in skin to improve skin moisture and radiance.
Why Does My Skin Have Dark Spots and Look Dull?
1) Dry sensitive skin is prone to dull skin caused by roughness. Dry sensitive skin is caused by a lack of essential skin ingredient - Ceramide hence resulting in skin losing moisture easily, prone to external irritation and dry, rough and dull skin.
2) Dark spots and freckles are caused by over-production of melanin. Exposure to UV rays stimulates melanin production. If melanin is over-produced, it will trigger the formation of dark spots and freckles.
The Curél Whitening Moisture Lotion II contains active whitening ingredient that helps to brighten skin and prevent the formation of dark spots and freckles. The Whitening Lotion spreads easily across the skin and keeps skin feeling comfortable and moisturised.
Formulated with:
• Active whitening ingredient L-Ascorbic Acid 2-glucoside that is clinically proven to be effective in brightening dark spots and freckles.
• Moisturising Eucalyptus Globulus extract
Suitable for dry skin, Curel Whitening Lotion II contains Eucalyptus extract that penetrates deeply into the stratum corneum so skin becomes smooth, fully moisturized and resistant to external irritation. Helps to improve your skin's natural barrier function, soothe and protect skin from dryness. Leaves a thoroughly moist feel.
The Lotion II works and feels like a toner with a light and watery texture. I tend to use it with cotton pads after cleansing and applies Lotion II all over my skin. It feels refreshing and soothing. There is no fragrance, colorant or alcohol.

Unfortunately, on my combination skin with dehydrated skin surface, there is a slight greasy shine on my T-zone after 1 hour which I do not quite fancy. However, it becomes a minor issue when you apply make-up after the skincare routine as my RMS "Un" Powder helps to absorb oil.
There is no added fragrance, colorant and alcohol.

Conclusion
To conclude, Curel Whitening Lotion II, Whitening Moisture Essence and Whitening Moisture Face Milk would be great products for those with dry and sensitive skin in need of brightening.
My skin definitely looked better and less dull after using them for 5 days straight. I saw a difference with and without using Curel Whitening Moisture Series after applying my makeup. My skin looked flawless, brighter, more radiant and more even toned.
However, the results only exist for as long as products were used. The moment I stopped using them, my skin was back to its dull state.
