Review: Skincare: Kanebo Blanchir Night Conditioner

August 11, 2007 Paris B 3 Comments

Onto the night regime for the Kanebo Blanchir series of skincare. I use the Blanchir Whitening Night Conditioner. The picture below shows the Moisture version which is for dry skin and maybe more suitable for those in colder climates where the air is drier. Here in Malaysia, its hot and humid so I go with the normal one (the packaging is the same, just that it doesn’t say “Moisture” on the front).

kanebo night conditioner

The Whitening Night Conditioner comes in a tub. I don’t usually like creams that come in a tub because of the hygiene factor. Realising this perhaps, Kanebo has included a little spatula with the tub. A flexible plastic ring is included, that you can slip over the top of the tub, with a little slit for the spatula to sit in. Quite ingenious.

The texture of this night conditioner is similar to that of the milky conditioner, except that its thicker. Its almost a gel texture and has a translucent cream shade. This runnier texture means that you end up using less on your face, thereby stretching your dollar. I found that if I put too much, my face felt a bit sticky. So, I only use a tiny little dollop from the spatula, and its more than sufficient to cover my whole face.

What I like about this Night Conditioner is that is makes my face feel so soft after application. It sinks into the skin almost immediately. The next morning when I get up, my face looks dewy and fresh. Its awesome that way!

As for the whitening properties, I have stated before that there are less “whitening” than “brightening” properties. I have been using the entire line for a couple of weeks, and I find it works but I can’t vouch for the brightening qualities of each individual product. However, I love this cream simply because it makes my face feel fresh, moisturised, not oily, soft and dewy. You couldn’t ask for more in a night cream.

A tub retails for RM168 for 40g. It sounds expensive but it will last, simply because of its light texture. You don’t use a lot of it at all. For me, this is a keeper!

Update April 2008: I’m no longer using this as a night cream because I found it too light. I was recommended to layer it over the day moisturiser but I felt it would defeat the purpose. Maybe my skin is getting drier now. I’ve reflected this update in the rating.

Here is the ingredient list collected from this link:

Ingredients:
Ascorbyl Glucoside??Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate??Water, Dimethicone, Butylene glycol, Dipropylene glycol, Octyldodecyl myristate, Rehmannia Chinensis Root Extract, Glycerin, Polyacrylamide, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Isoparaffin, C12-13 Isoalkyl Acid Cholesterol Esters, Cholesterol, Potassium hydroxide, Xanthan gum, POE Laureth, Sambucus nigra flower extract, Carbomer, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Suik Kazura Ekisu (JTN), Ethylparaben, Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract, Coix Seed Extract, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Juice, Magnolia Obovata Bark Extract, Alcohol, EDTA, Methyl Serine, Pyracantha fortuneana extract, Licorice(glycyrrhiza glabra) extract

    @Tee : “too light” here refers to the texture. I found it too light and not moisturising enough. I did not notice much lightening but I am already quite light skinned.

Famous last words 😅 Can’t believe how tiny he was last CNY. I could make him do whatever I wanted. Now, he’s got a mind of his own and it’s “no treats, no work!” 🤪
It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️
Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dre Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dress up or put on makeup since we’re staying home, but I’ll be damned if I don’t smell like a million bucks from head to toe! 🥰
I never appreciated hair mists but the Chanel No. 5 Hair Mist is a nice, light way to enjoy the perfume. Who says you can only spray on your hair? 😬
What’s your CNY shaping up like?
