“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” Despite not yearning for a fair complexion, I do appreciate an even skin tone. I’ve heard that Secret Key’s Snow White Cream and its sister product, the Snow White Milky Pack, are selling really well in Korea. According to its product description, the cream basically serves as a BB cream, whitening product, makeup base and lotion, and doesn’t irritate skin. With so many function.I thought, why not give it a try?
Contained in a lightweight, minimalistic plastic jar, the cream has a pleasant milky smell and a thin but refined texture. The packaging comes with a small spatula, though I normally just use my fingers. The cream spreads like gel and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin semi-matte and feeling smooth. There is no residue except on my acne spots and extremely dry areas around the lips, so just avoid those areas. Being non-sticky and non-oily, the cream gives a soft glow to the face, and looks more natural on the skin than most BB creams and tinted moisturizers.
I love this product for two major reasons:
1. It doesn’t irritate skin, even for acne-prone and sensitive skin like mine. There was no itching or breakout during my 3 weeks of testing, and I didn’t actually need to use a makeup remover.
2. It works perfectly as a primer. The slightly tinted effect leaves you fresh-faced without staining your clothes or creating any discomfort on your skin.
The only drawback is that you will still feel a little residue when you wash your face. The cream is also not very moisturizing, meaning you still have to keep up with your moisturizing routine. Overall, Secret Key’s Snow White Cream is an excellent primer, and is especially useful when you’re too lazy to put on makeup but still want to look naturally radiant.
I’ve heard that you can mix the cream with the Snow White Milky Pack to create a sleeping mask. I haven’t attempted this since I don’t like sleeping masks, but do share if you’ve tried it!
