The White AC range is one of the Aqualabel series that includes a whitening range(blue packaging),a moisturizing range(red packaging) and also a whitening and acne/blemishes control range(turquoise packaging) / White AC range.
The White AC range is much smaller than the other two in terms of the products available. For this range,it includes only a lotion,an emulsion and an essence(which I will review later on).
Picture courtesy of the Aqualabel's Malaysian FB Page. This is also part of the the pamphlet distributed at Watsons where their products are sold.
Part of their pamphlet too. Since the White AC range does not come with a cleanser,they recommended the whitening range foam cleanser instead( which i am using now for day routine).
** please note that my day and night routine are not the same as I use different products to combat my combination + acne/blemishes prone skin.
Claims to be fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and allergy-tested. Contains alcohol.
- Consistency: Clear liquid.
- Smell : Smells faintly of alcohol(contains it).
- Packaging : Plastic bottle with plastic cap.
- Comments : Started using this once I ran out of the Oxy Powder Lotion. Read good comments about it from NicNic's blogpost about the Aqualabel White AC Lotion here. I use this for my day routine because its refreshing and it contain oil control properties to prevent blemishes. I use this with cotton pads and it cleans up dirt pretty well :) Its light and refreshing with no scent( but there is a faint hint of alcohol) Since its meant for whitening ,I'm not sure if it works in whitening but it kept my face tone color even. My morning routine products consist mainly of oil control products so my initial purpose of getting this product was for that and not the whitening aspect. But hey,2 in 1,win win. So far so good,but since I'm slowly switching to Naruko products,I may or may not repurchase this once I'm done, we will see how it fairs with the Naruko Oil Out Toner later on.
- Ratings : 4/5. Quite pricey for a drugstore product,but hey,its Shiseido so I'm not complaining. And it comes with a pretty reasonable amount of liquid to justify the price.

I haven't checked out Shiseido for years only because they aren't readily available here. I've read rave reviews about their products.
thanks for sharing this. i love shiseido and kanebo drugstore range. they are affordable and work great in general. plus their packaging is still neat and pretty! :)
I want to try this! The packaging alone sold me haha

I really like the packaging. Sadly I have only tried Shideido lotions, I want to try more!
Shiseido is drugstore where you are? The packaging is great but I'd have to go to Sephora to get this and... that's kinda pricier for me.
ya shesido products are usually on the pricier side so this is not too bad for it... the packaging is great for it too!
Thanks for the review! I've not tried Aqualabel before, but have heard really good things about it! Love the blue packaging!
whaa shiseido! I've always wanted to try shiseido, does it suit sensitive skin?
Oh how I wish they'd sell Shiseido's drugstore line here! Sounds like a fab product =D
thanks for reviewing this! i've been wanting to use shieseido products for awhile.. because i think they're better suited for asian skin.. but they have so many products i never know which one to try!! i'll try this first :)!!
good review!
i like the packaging. it looks so clean and simple heh :D glad to hear it works well at controlling oil and blemishes! keep in touch :)

great review as usual! love the packaging of shiseido.. all of their products oozes luxury!
So glad to hear that it works for you! I still have a loads left from the bottle i purchased a few months back.. will be digging it out again for the summer!
nice packaging. glad it works well for you, i'll probably skip this one due to the alcohol content. i don't like products that will strip off my natural oil and make my skin tight.
hihi Diana sorry for the late reply on your comment ^^ been busy with my finals.
this aqualabel brand is a lower end brand of shiseido so its cheaper compared to their main line ^^ i think their whitening and hydrating line should be quite good.
Ah,thats disappointing :/ Aqualabel is actually a lower end branch of Shiseido and is still quite new even in Malaysia :) Thank you for dropping by my blog and following it on gfc ^^
yup,i like that they are affordable :) except for the shiseido main line products,those are slightly pricier here. aqualabel is a lower end brand from shiseido and they sell it in drugstores,while shiseido is only available in department stores.
hi Hkchan! thank u so much fro dropping by my blog!!! i hope you get to try this soon :)
i like the packaging too! its quite neat and easy to dispense and store. I hope you get to try more products soon!
its a department store product,but this aqualabel of shiseido is sold in drugstores here,its supposed to be a lower end branch of shiseido products ^^
yup! this is cheaper than shiseido main line :)
Thanks for the review! I always have confidence in Shiseido products! =D
thanks Penelope! :) I hope you get to try this in the future! its actually quite good.
hmm i'm not sure how it fares with sensitive skin,mine is slightly sensitive,not that bad and it works well for me,so I guess its okay? well its fragrance free and etc so i guess its made for sensitive skin? might have to avoid if sensitive to alcohol.
the products are not bad but its a very small range so once I'm done i'm probably gonna switch XD
Thank you!:)
this is much more affordable compared to their main line! but i would love to try their main line(the department store ones) next time when I can afford it XD
Thanks Joyce for droppin by! :)
oh yah XD issit winter now in Japan? its always hot and humid here in malaysia,summer all year round XD i'm going through this very fast .
this not so much XD but better than other drugstore products :D
ah I see i see, my face is super oily so its okay XD i guess for normal to dry skin this will not be suitable. but you can take a look at their hydrating and whitening line,i heard its quite good.
Thanks Sukipooki for dropping by ^^ yup their products are up to their standards.
Glad this works for you, :) I really like to try some oil lotions too but I like hada labo haha
nice product thanks for post
