KANEBO Whitening Clear Conditioner

This is a nice toner - it does not sting after application and removes traces of makeup which is not washed off by a good cleanser. I don't know about the whitening effect but my skin seems to be quite fair. My body, on the other hand, is tanned and brown. I do use high SPF cream during the daytime and I use nightcream which has whitening agents so I don't know whether or not this is effective or not. My skin has acquired a more even look and less blotchy than before so I suppose that could be because of this toner. In any case, it is not bad and I am considering sticking with it. Some toners overdry my skin and are too harsh but this seems to be just right. It is very popular in Japan so there must be a reason for it. The price is not so reasonable but when on sale it is not bad and the bottle lasts forever! The bottle is red clear plastic so no worries in case you drop it into the sink.
