In line with Olay’s White Radiance Spot Line series, I was given the chance to try out of their products from this series- the Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ White  Essence Serum.

So what is this Olay White Radiance Spot Line about?

Thanks to advanced research into skin’s metabolism, Olay has now unearthed a new approach to reducing dark spots and improving skin tone by accelerating our whitening metabolism.

Do you know? Current whitening technologies; approaches fall into a few broad areas:

Olay has taken its cell care science and research one step deeper to announce its breakthrough technology behind spot eradication and skin whitening with the new CelLucent™ II Complex. Based on five years of research and screening more than 1000 compounds, the new CelLucent™ II Complex in Olay White Radiance Spot Line works to quickly and effectively target dark spots. Grounded in international award-winning science, four global patents have been filed for the technology behind the Olay White Radiance Spot Line.

The newly formulated Olay White Radiance Spot Line contains two exceptional, new key ingredients, Hexyldecanol⁶ and Inositol, as well as powerful active ingredients Niacinamide and N-undecylenoly-phenylalanine.

Research suggests that Hexyldecanol⁶ works by speeding up the breakdown of melaninmaking enzymes thru the Ubiquitin-Proteasome system. In this way, Hexyldecanol helps to accelerate skin’s whitening metabolism for faster spot reduction.

Olay White Radiance Spot Line Pristine White Essence, the key product in the new Olay White Radiance Spot Line also delivers the following powerful benefits:

1. In one touch/drop, triggers the penetration into the skin foundation⁸

2. From first use, begins the whitening/fairness journey and after one jar, it delivers visibly watery translucent fair skin.

3. Reduce appearance of spots earlier/faster at 2 weeks with only half a bottle⁹

4. Reduce appearance of spot in 2 weeks with only half a bottle

    a. For markets with existing dropper essence: 2X whitening actives(*number of whitening actives vs. old formula.)

    b. For markets where dropper essence is new/did not exist before: With 2 new whitening actives (if markets require super: vs. other products in Olay Whitening Range)

5. Even better hydrated skin from regimen usage (Regimen refers to Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ Essence Water, Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ White Essence Serum, Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ White Cream Moisturizer)

For white radiance, following these steps:

In this review, I will be introducing the 40ml Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ White Essence Serum which helps to enhance the absorption of moisturizer, used after the toner and before moisturizing. 

The 40ml Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ White Essence Serum comes packaged in a greenish bottle.

To ensure hygiene and reduce possible contamination in every application, it also comes with a pipette-like dropper for picking up the product.

On application, I find that the Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ White Essence Serum runs on smoothly and is light in texture. 

Its liquidity milky texture comes with a light fragrance and because of its relative low viscosity nature, it tends to flow easily on application.

The serum gets absorb really easily and it’s not necessary to wait for it to dry or to rub it in really hard unlike cream forms. I love the fact that it’s fast application and hassle-free.

As you can see on the left picture, there’s a whitening glow after application of the Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ White Essence Serum. Compared to the picture on the right, the hand shows relatively more dryness and darkness when without any serum application.

There is Benzyl alcohol and fragrance in this product. So if you have sensitive skin, it’s better to test out the product first before usage.

Overall, I love the efficiency of the serum absorption speed which is almost instantaneous and leaves a subtle white dewy glow upon application.  If you are looking for a whitening product, or a product to reduce the appearance of spots, why not try the new Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ White Essence Serum?  

The price is reasonable, retailing at $49.90 in most pharmacies.  Fear not that whitening products will leave you white and washed-out ‘cause they will not. Whitening products are supposed to enhance on your current skin tone while maintaining your natural glow, resulting in an even and smooth finishing. Of course, if you have dark spots or Melanin accumulation concern, whitening products such as the Olay White Radiance CelLucent™ White Essence Serum will gradually lighten your problems upon faithful application.
