The Sheer White line of EA is made with Asian woman in mind - particularly Chinese, Japanese and Korean woman, who are prone to dark spots and sun damage, and are “obsessed” with porcelain skin – I think my face is “cloudy”, no sun spots yet, but can be brighter, so this line of products fit my needs very well.

The main benefit of this line is skin brightening, and reduces the size and intensity of dark spots and freckles.

The Daytime Cream SPF 30 is a very nice cream. I like it because 1) SPF 30 provides a good level of sun protection 2) The cream is silky and no-greasy like and moisturizing. Absorbs fast into skin, does not have the sticky feeling of Sunscreen. Great compare to my usual “moisturizer – sunscreen – oil absorbing powder” routine. 3) It does brighten my face!

This cream does not claim it can reduce dark spots (other produces in this line do that); it says it helps prevent dark spots, and premature aging caused by sun exposure. I think that is a fair statement and I respect that. I do feel my skin is brighter and stronger after using it, especially in the morning. The effect wears off a little by the end of the day, but I don’t feel dry or oily, I think it could be because I am tired at the end of the day.

To max the results, it is best to combine this cream with the Restoring Night Cream and the Pure Intensive Serum.

I like this cream and I think it can work well for most Asian woman. Two things I don’t like – 1) It is not widely available in North America. I got mine from Winners (A discount chain store in Canada), and God knows where they collected them. 2) It is an expensive cream, about $65.00 for 50 ml. So I bought 4 sets when I saw the great price in Winners.
Not sure how well this cream will work in Winter. So far so good. So 5 sticks!
