shiseido white lucent intensive spot targeting serum has a very light consistency, making it easily absorbed by the skin in a few seconds. in the 1 week i've used this, i've seen my face lightening. even few of my dark spots are lighter now. i kinda feel that i have that "glow".
the mask on the other hand was soaked in a serum similar to the the white lucent serum but more concentrated. due to this generous amount of essence it's a little messy when you unpack it. the mask itself fits well. made my face soaking wet afterwards it takes 30 minutes i guess before it was completely absorbed. it felt sticky, the same way you feel when you overmoisturized your face. skin feels soft and supple after using the masks! plus you can see your skin glows :)

The serum has a watery texture that's easy to blend and gets quickly absorbed by the skin. It's a bit runny but nothing difficult to work with. It's lightweight, and it doesn't leave my face oily nor sticky at all. I used the serum every day for seven days straight (morning and evening). Every time after applying this product, my face felt instantly smooth. I used the mask on my seventh day of using the serum. The mask was really concentrated with product. On my face, it had a slight cooling effect. The mask itself fit my face really well - I was able to walk around the house without the mask sliding off. My skin felt hydrated and soft after using the mask although it took some time before my skin could totally absorb all the remaining product on my face (because like I said, the mask was really concentrated). Both the serum and the mask had a subtle pleasant scent, and they didn't irritate my skin at all. After the 7-day period, I noticed that my skin became brighter over-all, and that my skin tone appeared to be slightly more even now. My small dark spots and pimple scars didn't completely disappear but I noticed that the scars had lightened. Thanks to the before and after photos I took, I saw the improvement that the serum and mask did my skin after the 7-day period. I'll keep on using the remaining serum and see if my skin will improve even more.

This product is simply amazing! I took the White Lucent 7 day Challenge and it made a huge difference!
I love everything about it: the smell, the consistency and of course, the overall effect it made to my skin. I love that the sample came in a pump bottle, which is rare for sample packaging. The serum is quickly absorbed and is not sticky. It did help a lot in lightening my dark spots. I love it so much that I need to count the ways!
I started seeing the changes on the third day and it convinced me that I should get a full sized version of it.
I shall write a full review on this duo on my blog. That's how much I am raving about it. Please do watch out for it! ^__^
I'm a Shiseido White Lucent Believer! ^__^

Received the package a week ago, it contains a small bottle of serum, 1 pc mask and 1 pc Celeteque make-up remover cleansing facial wipes as freebie :) Used the serum day and night for 7 days along with my usual day and night cream, applying it to dark spots on my cheeks and sides of the upper part of my nostrils. The texture of the serum is light and easily absorbed by the skin. It's lightly-fragranced so I find it pleasant whenever I apply it to my skin. There was a slight redness on the area where I applied the product but there was no tingling sensation felt, it's conclusive that it contains mild ingredients. My face got used to it eventually and it did not react nor I developed rashes.
After few days of applying the serum, I've noticed that my skin became brighter and smoother. I can say that it has really strong whitening effects. However, as for the pigmentation around my cheek area, it did not deliver visible result. Perhaps there would be a noticeable difference if I'm going to use the serum in its full size.
For the mask, I used it as directed on the 7th day. The mask is so rich in moisturizers, it fits good and it doesn't slip on my face. I felt relaxed while wearing it due to its cooling effect.
To conclude this review, Shiseido's promise of whitening and brightening the face was achieved. However, with the span of time that I used the serum with the purpose of targeting the dark pigmentation around my cheek area, it didn't deliver much result. Maybe a longer time is needed for the pigmentation to lessen. But overall, it was quite an experience using the product. I still have some serum left and I will continue using it down to its last drop.
I'm happy with the glow it has given on my face :)

My face is full of dark acne marks around the chin, jaw and cheek area. Someone could easily notice them from about 1 meter away. My previous cream I use for spots doesn't work for me anymore. I'm very acne prone and prior to using this I'm clear of any breakouts and during the course of usage I did not develop new pimples (which will eventually turn to marks again).
It's Day14 of using the combo. I used the serum morning and night, and on the 7th day I used the mask. The mask is generously soaked in essence, comfortably fits the whole face, and has a warming effect on the skin which might be the ejecting action of it.
As for the results: Before, the spots are dark brown and the shape is defined. I'm not saying they're completely gone now but they significantly lightened in color. Now the color has faded, edges are blurred and, i'm holding a mirror in my hand and the marks aren't so noticeable anymore. From afar my face looks clearer now. I don't need to put that much concealer too. I'm happy and satisfied with this product. Price is way out of my budget, but it works, I think I'll have the mask first.

I really like this. 7 days is not enough for dark spots to fade noticeably. But as far as brightening goes, effects are seen as early as the first day of use. This got me loads of comopliments during the week. It evidently, blurs out pores too.

I got this product for my dad as he has some dark spots on his face. After using the product for 9 days, I can say that the product worked well in the brightening aspect! The product also smells good by the way and is absorbed greatly by the skin. I noticed that my dad's face brightened up and noticeably eliminated the dullness.. It made him look younger and not stressed at all. For the dark spots reduction, it did lighten a bit some of his dark spots, but not that noticeable unless you really look close to it. It also did lighten up his new dark spots but not the old ones. I believe the product is to be used for a longer period of time to see noticeable dark spot reduction results. Dark spots are usually very hard to eliminate; some even use laser to cure this. So to give an extensive review for dark spots reduction in 7 days is considered to be half baked. But overall with the samples, my dad is very happy to see brightening effect results of the product and a little bit of dark spot correction; so with this, he is willing to buy the full size to see the best effect for dark spots reduction.

Will I buy it? Yes, yes, yes and YES! I'm on my 8th day of using it and so far, I'm itching to go buy a full sample so that I have one on standby when my sample runs out!
Noticeable effects on my skin after 8 days of use, twice a day (morning/night):
1. More supple skin
2. Noticeably smaller pores
3. Brightened complexion
4. Not so much on the dark spot reduction, but I still have yet to see :)
I have very sensitive skin so I'm happy that it didn't aggravate my chronic contact dermatitis.
I would definitely recommend this product!

I like this pair from Shiseido! The serum lightened up my dark spots and my skin in general. The mask had an instant whitening effect after use. Overall, I can say that these are effective and stays true to their claim of whitening! I find it very impressive!

A must have---it not only clears way dark spots but lessens acne and redness as well---at least from my experience. After 7 days, my skin looks brighter and more luminous. Acne scars are minimized, and my skin simply glows. Downside---pretty expensive, but then again, Shiseido is a high-end brand---you get what you pay for.

This is a great product combo! The serum is gives a nice finish and smooth and supple texture to my skin. And my face has indeed brighten after a fews days use. Dark spot reduction is not noticeable though. The mask is an instant perk-me-up! My face glowed after putting it on.

first of all, I'm also using Shieido's White Lucent skin care line before i started using this product. so, I dont know if that affects anything. this product is really great. it made my skin clearer, softer, and smoother. someone even complimented me that I recently look younger! like 10 years younger maybe. My skin now is less dull, but sadly the spots are still there. i think the spots are somehow lighter. I guess 7 days are not enough for my dark spots to disappear. I will continue on using this product, and give an update on Cassie's blog post about this product. then, if it really works, not will i only buy this for myself, but also for my mom.:) then, I will blog about this product. So, overall, I really am loving this product. :)

The first time I used the Shiseido White lucent on my face, I didn't really feel anything, no sting, no cooling effect, etc. After like the third day, that's when I start to feel the sting after putting it on my face, but I also noticed that some of the dark spots on my face is getting lighter. On the 7th day after using the mask, my face feels smoother and looks brighter.

I love love this set! The dark spots on my face were visibly lighter even by day 4 of using it and was even lighter on the 7th day. I'm really happy I got to try these products. If I can readily afford it, I would definitely get myself the full-sized ones since its really effective on my sensitive/combination-oily skin.
Some things I didn't really like with these products were:
- The spot serum is a bit runny and watery so I really have to be careful and fast when using it.
- It feels really oily/sticky several minutes after taking off the mask.. BUT!! if you wait just a little longer you'll feel that it's worth the wait cause my face felt awesome the morning after I used it.
On the other hand, I super love these products because:
1. It delivers! Expect lightening of your dark spots in days! (literally!!)
2. The mask is very refreshing!
3. I didn't have to put up a big effort just to use these product. Even with my usual lazy self, I still felt that it wasn't a chore to do. It was extremely easy to follow its regimen.
Generally, I'm very happy with these products and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
Thank you Sample Room and Shiseido :)

For the serum, it has a faint smell, which I really do not mind. The texture is a little watery, which makes it more spreadable and enables my skin to absorb it very quickly. I used it as instructed, in the morning and before gong to bed.
For the mask, it has a pleasant smell which I can't quite describe. I used it on the fifth night and it was a relaxing experience.
I've read a lot of raves about this product, with some people reporting that they noticed significant changes in just a few days of usage. As such, I had really high expectations for these products. I have sun spots on my face, and even though I did not expect them to fade out completely, I thought that a little bit of lightening would be great.
In terms of the brightening effect and dark spot reduction, it's sad to say that I did not notice any change at all. :( It did make my skin a little softer during the first few days, but it eventually caused me to break out. Maybe this product is just not suitable for my skin type.

After using it for several days, i feel my skin is softer and more radiant. I liked the feel of my face after applying it. as for my dark spots, its a bit lighter than before but its too soon to tell since i only used it for a week or so. hopefully in the long run, my skin discoloration will be gone. I also liked that it is unscented.

After using the product for 7 days, i did notice that my skin seems to brighten but I honestly didn't notice a reduction to my dark spots. I like the texture as it is very light and is easily absorbed just like other shiseido products. I like the scent and I also liked that it seemed to flatten my pores.

For the longest time, my skin routine was pretty quick & simple. I only do the basic cleansing, toning & moisturizing so that's why adding serum to my regimen was kinda new to me. Prior to my Shiseido White Lucent application, my skin has been fighting dryness for a couple of days.. Luckily, I'm spared from having ugly dark spots; but I do have blemishes on my cheeks & around my lips. Due to my desire to have a radiant & more even skin tone, I resorted to this product & has been consistently applying 2 to 3 pumps of serum twice a day; and what I like best about the Shiseido White Lucent serum is its immediate response to my tired skin because in just few days, my skin condition turned from blunt looking to visibly brighter & healthier skin.
After a week of applying serum, I finally got to try the Power Brightening Mask. I initially wanted to save it for a more special day but I'm really eager to find out the maximum effect of Shiseido White Luscent so I gave in.. I really enjoyed having the mask on my face, it feels soo relaxing & refreshing but more than the soothing feeling that it gives, I was crazy about how it instantly hydrates & brightens my skin.
Overall. In a span of 1 week, my skin has greatly improved. I also noticed that my pores became less visible though blemishes only lightened a bit; but my skin's present condition & appearance is better now than before, It is not flawless but it's definitely more radiant. Adding the serum & mask to my routine is absolutely 'no sweat'.

It's my first time to try Shiseido's White Lucent. The price is a little on the higher end compared to their other lines but I think it's worth the extra buck when it can prevent further hyperpigmentation. The Intensive Spot Targeting Serum is an amazing and beautiful product. The texture is lightweight and is quickly absorbed by the skin. For a small amount , one can get SPF and intensive skin treatment to make the skin look more glowy and feel softer. Within a matter of 5 days, dark spots and acne scars were significantly reduced. The Power Brightening Mask left my face bright ,clean and refreshed with only one time of usage. These product are really amazing!
