Scoring ~glowing~ skin has always been my ultimate beauty goal. Lately, though, my skin has been looking a bit dull (Plus, I do have some post-acne marks on my cheeks.) So when I heard about the new Whitening Facial Set of Essentials by Belo—celebrity doctor Vicki Belo's skincare line—I knew I had to try it out! Keep on reading for my review:

It's a skincare set that's clinically proven to brighten the skin. It has all the essentials you'll need for your AM and PM skincare routine: A clarifying soap bar, a hydrating toner, a moisturizer-slash-sunscreen, and a night cream.

First Impressions
The facial kit was easy to use. I followed the step-by-step guide placed on the back of the box (It's certainly helpful for those who are just starting to build their own skincare routines.)

The brightening soap washed away all the gunk from my face, but it left my skin feeling a bit tight. I then used the hydrating toner to balance things out, and it was able to help soften and prep my skin for the rest of my routine. I have oily and acne-prone skin, so I'm glad that the day and night creams weren't heavy and malagkit at all, especially when worn under makeup. The best part? The products didn't trigger breakouts!

Verdict
After using the affordable facial set for almost a week, I’m happy to report that overall, my skin looks ~*brighter*~. It feels smoother, too! I don't see any significant improvement when it comes to my pimple marks yet, so I’ll definitely continue using this to see better results!
