Iwhite Korea gave me this product last December for me to try. I did not like it on my first try especially when I swatched it at the back of my hand. I honestly do not know what it does. It felt like a moisturizer but it delivers a white finish/ cast after blending. I gave it to my mom after swatching it and never thought that I will be using it again. A few weeks later, I blogged about a CC Cream and a reader of mine mentioned this product. She mentioned how she loves this product and works like a CC Cream and a makeup base in one. Luckily, Iwhite Korea sent me new samples and I did not hesitate to give this another shot.
Iwhite Korea says:
Iwhite Whitening Vita Facial Cream is an all around face cream with natural active ingredients that gives you three essential benefits for a complete day car protection.
1. Whitening with mulberry extract to evenly whiten skin
2. Dual UV Protection - with Titanium Dioxide to protect ski from harmful UV rays that cause cellular damage and premature aging
3. Makeup Base - with PANAX Ginseng and Vitamins A, C and E to shield skin from free radical damage while leaving it silky smooth so makeup sets perfectly on your skin
On my second try, I immediately noticed the fresh scent of the product. I love the subtle fragrance that is not too overpowering. This is a lightweight cream that blends smoothly when applied (no tugging whatsoever). It felt like lotion on my skin. This does not dry quickly which I love. It leaves a demi matte finish on the skin. It is an instant brightener. My face looked lighter after application and it somehow even out my skin tone slightly covering the redness on my skin. This does not alter the color of my foundation or BB Cream. This has SPF 15 but I have not yet tested it if it leaves a white cast on flash photography. It does a great job of prepping my skin for base makeup application but it does not lengthen the staying power of my makeup.
I do notice that it clings on dry areas on my face like my psoriasis and rashes as seen on the photo below. I love using it on days when I have clear skin but whenever I have rashes or flare ups, I skip this to prevent highlighting my imperfections. Overall, this product is a great makeup base for those who wants an instant brightening effect, hydration, and sun protection. I have tried using it alone with my regular powder foundation and it worked well for everyday use.
Clean Face With Iwhite Korea Facial Cream
For 150 plus pesos (I am not really sure of the price), this is a nice product for everyday use. They also sell this in sachets, in case you want to test it out first before buying a full sized product.

"This light and fluffy choux cream-like makeup base creates baby choux skin with its moist inside and soft smoothness on the outside"
Price: Php 628.00
I got this Baby Choux Base from the Sweet Recipe Event of Etude House at Tous Les Jours last month. This was the least of my favorite during the launch. I am not a fan of makeup because of the bad experience I had with green and violet makeup base before. They made my face look so white as if it was floating. One of the worst makeup No-No's is having a floating or ghost like face. This happens when your face is lighter than the rest of your body. I had tons of floating face experience because I had a hard time finding the right shade for my NC35 skin tone. I am not fair and I am not even close to Morena. I am in the medium range and it is so hard finding the foundation, BB Cream or tinted moisturizer that suits my skin tone. Western Brands tends to have more pink undertones in their shades while Asian brands can go as white as paper. Thus, out of all the goodies Etude House gave me, I was not gung ho about this product at all. Then, I finally decided to give this a try. I admit that it was not love at first sight but love at first try.
The first thing I notice about this product is the packaging. The jar bottle is so dainty and girly that it looks perfect on the vanity table. Its jar is made out of sturdy glass.

Upon opening the jars, I immediately notice the scent. Etude House Sweet Recipe Line got the sweetest scents infused in their products. This one is not different from the All Over Cupcake Cream that smells like candy!!! The Mint Choux Base smells like tea which is so relaxing. Berry is very fruity and sweet. Both scents are quite addicting. To those with allergic rhinitis like me, the scent is not overpowering and it did not trigger my allergy. Great job Etude House with the scents of these Choux Bases!!!
I got two shades out the three: |
|
#1 Mint |
#2 Berry
The other shade is in #3 Peach which a tad bit lighter and paler than Berry.
|
It has a very creamy air light consistency. Please note that it does not have an air whipped mousse texture. It blends very well on the skin because the consistency is not too thick. |
|
It dries to a semi matte finish. I thought that it deliver a powder finish but thankfully it did not. Thus, it is not drying on the skin. I still prefer,however, using a moisturizer underneath. I use my fingers in applying the base all over my face. The warmth of my fingers makes it easier to blend. This product settles perfectly on the skin without leaving steaks.
This product is truly a must try makeup base especially if you are into brightening and instant whitening effect. If you have fairer skin, I think you can use this alone and skip foundation because it has a fairly good and buildable coverage. Take note, it does not have a full coverage. On my NC35 skin, it does a great job of prepping and evening out my skin tone. Surprisingly, it smoothens out my skin and brightens up my dull skin instantly. It does not lengthen/prolong the staying power of foundation nor does it prevent makeup meltdown. It does not work like the silicone base primers in the market but it creates a flawless base. The plus point of this product is that it has SPF25!!! |
Let's have a walk through on how I use this Makeup Base in Mint:
|
My bare face My dark circles, as usual, are very conspicuous. I have red patches and and uneven skintone. |
|
Looks like I played with icing in this photo. Ohh, I think I applied too much of the makeup base. |
|
After spreading the product, my face looks like a ghost. haha It is evident, however, that it evened out my skin tone and neutralized the redness of my face. |
|
Then, I applied Revlon Nearly Naked in Medium Beige to match my true skin tone. |
Taddaaaaa!!! After applying concealer and setting my face with Fanny Serrano Foundation in Chino.
The sad news: It leaves a slightly noticeable white cast on pictures when taken with flash.
Overall, I love this product. I use this for everyday wear as a base. I tend to reach out to the shade Mint more because it does a great job of lessening the red patches of my skin. This works well with foundations, BB creams or Tinted Moisturizers that have darker color than your skintone. I use this with Revlon Nearly Naked in Medium Beige (this shade is my perfect match but using the mint base brightened up my skin) and the San San BB Cream. Check out my review on both products here and here respectively. This product can be used alone especially those with fair skin but I primarily used it as a makeup base.
Have you tried this product?
