For a few of us, the concept of “whitening” our skin might sound pretty dodgy. There’s no bleach involved, right? I won’t come out of it looking like a ghost? As someone who’s spent most of her life being pretty tan for a Chinese Singaporean, I wondered what this whitening cream held in store for me. Sure, I’d tried my fair share of face masks which promised “translucent” skin – is this meant to sound appealing? – but my complexion typically came out uneven after those masking sessions. Maybe it was the way I placed the mask on my face? Maybe my T-zone is just a lot more stubborn than my cheeks? So many unanswered questions.
The Dr Jart+ V7 Toning Light is a cream that’s meant to be enriched with seven different types of vitamins (thus the V7) which, when combined, promise to give an instant brightening effect. It’s also known to help lighten any dark marks or acne scars, so I kept my fingers crossed that it would help even out my complexion too. The cream also consists of 40% moisturising ingredients, which is always a plus; my skin gets insanely dry without any kind of moisturiser, even in Singapore’s humid weather.
If first impressions are everything, I will say this: the jar the cream comes in undeniably guarantees quality, with it’s simple yet sturdy glass body and white cap. The jar also comes with an equally sturdy, transparent scoop, and you’re instructed to only use as much product as 1/3 of the scoop can hold. The cream promises an instant tone-up effect, although I was dubious about whether the product had actually affected my complexion, or if my brighter skin was merely a result of how thick the cream is upon application. So, after using the cream twice a day, for six days, here’s my verdict: the Dr Jart+ V7 Toning Light works, but you have to be pretty patient. I only noticed a slightly brighter complexion on my bare face by the fourth or fifth day. On the plus side, I definitely saw that “instant” effect once the cream was on my face, so the product is a quick fix for anyone who wants to ditch the BB or CC Cream once in a while. Unfortunately, it didn’t feel as light on my face as I would have preferred, especially as someone who typically wears makeup going out, but it definitely kept my skin moisturised. I’m not gonna lie, the V7 Toning Light definitely isn’t easy on your wallet, but it’s pretty worth it when you consider the amount of product in each jar, and the multi-benefits on your skin. Ultimately, when it comes to long-term skincare, you can trust this Korean brand.

Community Collections with "Dr. Jart+ V7 Pink Toning"More from Dr. Jart+ How do you use Dr Jart+ V7 toning light?How to Use:. Apply after cleansing and toning, and follow with moisturizer.. Gently massage all over face and dab for better absorption.. Does V7 cream work?It does brightens up my face, which appears more healthy looking. I do have to make sure I apply it lightly all around my face, so there is not too much discrepancy between my skin colors. The other thing I don't like about it is it dries up pretty quickly, so maybe fuse it with watery products will help. Is Dr Jart actually good?Dr. Jart is great, but unnecessarily expensive. Anything they make can be pretty closely duped by a cheaper alternative that's equally as effective, at least for me. I do love their packaging though, it's so fun, especially the masks! Is Dr Jart good for acne?Teatreement™ Cleansing Foam A mild everyday cleanser with Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Extract that helps wash away dirt and debris without washing away necessary moisture and helps purify oily, acne-prone skin.
