I am very happy with this white balm. The outcome from applying is instant whitening, soft skin AND it holds make up for a good whole day. I have oily t-zone and even so I found that my bb cream did not slide on top of this white balm. Depending on your skin type and weather, you may need a moisturiser.
I have tried ways of applying this balm :
(i) after cleansing, toner, essence, moisturiser, white balm, bb cream.
(ii) after cleansing, toner, moisturiser, white balm, no bb cream.
(iii) after cleansing, toner, white balm, no bb cream, only loose powder.
(iv) only white balm (on the backs of my hands).
All of these ways work. I will be buying another bottle.
