When a reader requested an affordable whitening product, I honestly didn't know what to feature since most of what I tried are highly expensive (Khiel's and Lancome Blanc Expert) and those that are dermatologists prescribed.

But when I was given a chance to try Garnier Light Overnight Whitening Peeling Cream, I knew I had an answer to my reader's request.

Disclaimer: This is mainly a recommendation and I am NO EXPERT in skin care products. Products I feature may work on me but it may not work on others. So, try it at your own discretion. :)

Upon reading the label at the back of the jar, I was instantly conviced to try it. Why? Because it says "....pure lemon essence and natural peeling fruit extract..." which basically same at typical fruit-based peeling treatments I get from my dermatoligist, only lighter. Although I hardly "wake up to a fresh and fairer skin in the morning." I do feel the difference after weeks of using it. No, it is not a miracle cream but my pimples marks has lighten quite a bit. I should know since i'm always in front of the mirror.

I know it is working because I feel a bit of a warm sensation which should always be the case whenever vitamin C is in your product. This reminds me of my Philosophy's Microdelivery Kit vitamin C/peptide resurfacing crystals and lactic and salycilic acid activitating gel in one! I actually see the same results. So if your budget is just the problem, I recommend this.

Things to remember when using whitening products:
1. Sunblocks are a must. If you can use an umbrella, then by all means do so.
2. Limit sun exposure.
3. Don't be like me... pricking your pimples and touching them.
4. Cleanse face well prior to applying whitening products
5. Apply all products with clean hands.
6. Limit sun exposure.. oh I said that already, but you know what i mean.
