This has both hydrating and whitening benefits and is said to boost skin’s moisture levels, radiance and elasticity. It has three main ingredients:  Aqua Ferm (to keep skin hydrated), Aqua Light (it consists of precious truffle-derived yeast extract and Western medicinal herbs to suppress melanin production) and Poria Light (to firm and plump skin).

#3: Laneige White Dew Vita Capsule Sleeping Mask, $28 for eight capsules

The key ingredient in the sleeping mask? The brand’s Sleep-Melatox Technology that contains green tea and pomegranate extract. The former helps to purify skin as you sleep and also aids autophagy – a process that breaks down melanin residue in the cells overnight, resulting in clearer and brighter skin. The latter provides antioxidants for the skin to rejuvenate and recuperate and acts as a defense mechanism against oxidative stress in skin cells.
