DECORTÉ, a prestigious beauty brand in J-beauty, despite its French name, is highly sought after. While I admire many of their products, particularly their brightening range stands out. One of their popular duos is the AQ Absolute Glow-Radiant Brightening Emulsion and AQ Absolute Glow-Radiant Brightening Lotion, known for restoring youthful glow to the skin. Here’s my honest review.
The Benefits of This Brightening Duo
Emulsions and lotions may not be as common in the U.S. skincare routine as moisturizers, but they can significantly improve your skincare regimen, especially when targeting specific concerns like brightening. The two-step AQ Absolute Glow-Radiant Brightening Emulsion and AQ Absolute Glow-Radiant Brightening Lotion work together to enhance your skin.
Step 1 is the Emulsion, which contains ingredients like kojic acid, neem leaf extract, and licorice root extract to reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten the skin tone. Additionally, it provides hydration with polyglutamic acid and white birch water, along with collagen-based peptides for firmness. The texture is silky and absorbs quickly, preparing the skin for better absorption of subsequent products.
Step 2 is the Lotion, which deeply hydrates the skin. This treatment layers hydration and brightening care, leaving the skin smooth and rejuvenated. Both formulas utilize FLEX-FUSION OLEIN CAPSULES to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin. They share a soothing floral scent that helps relax the mind and soul.
Moreover, these products incorporate neuroscience research to enhance the connection between emotions and skin, supporting the skin’s ability to radiate happiness.
How to Use Them
Apply both products morning and night after cleansing. Use two pumps of the Emulsion on a cotton pad and gently apply it to the face, neck, and decollete. Follow with the Lotion, patting it into the skin. For extra moisture, follow with your favorite moisturizer or night cream.
