System JO Skin Brightening Cream 30ml

I was sent this product to review by Lovehoney and was interested in what the product would achieve. In all honesty, I’d never heard of a skin brightener before so did not know what to expect. Therefore, I am writing this review following only one week of testing the product, applying to four separate areas twice daily as instructed. Please bear in mind that continued use of the product may yield more substantial results.

A burn scar on my wrist:

After one week of continued use, I noted a very small amount of change in the scar on my wrist. It has been a long-lasting scar from a kitchen burn three years ago, therefore thought it an appropriate area to test the cream on. The skin is much softer and the burn is less prominent. Essentially what the cream has started to do is blend the edges of the burn with the undamaged skin, making the burn appear more of a blended blemish. It has almost had a similar effect to that of bio oil.

A dark birthmark on the back of my calf:

There has been no change in the birth mark on my leg. I would not advise buying this cream for permanent skin pigmentation damage such as birth marks. Maybe after continued use there may be some slight brightening of the skin around the edge of the birth mark, but after one week nothing has changed for me.

My shaved pubic area:

I chose to test this area of slight scaring and uneven skin tone due to years of shaving my pubic hairs. This area is where I have noticed the most significant result. The whole pubic area is the best its looked for years! For the first time, it is a very similar colour to the skin above and around the area. This area has made me feel very self-conscious in the past due to redness and a generally unattractive look. Even my OH has noticed a change in the area. The skin looks and feels much healthier, and I will continue use here to see if the change is lasting.

The area around the anus:

The area we’ve all be wondering about. I tested it here as I felt that this was the main point for the sale of the cream. I mean where else do they mean when the box states for use on ‘intimate areas’? Anyway, the cream did yield some result here. Although it was not significant in my opinion, my OH has noted a lightening in the area. This made me feel much more confident engaging in sex positions that allow this area to be on show. Again, the area was notably softer and just generally more comfortable in day-to-day life.

All in all, I am pleasantly surprised with this product. It has made my skin feel so much healthier regardless of visible results. I would advise this product to anyone who is patient about results, but wishes to refresh their intimate areas.
