THE VERDICT:
If you want skin whitening results in a snap, nothing does it better than Snoe’s Here Comes The Sunblock.

HCTS is an spf/lotion/skin treatment in one product. It promises instant white skin after application, UVA and UVB protection, and skin repair in the long run. Apart from its whitening ability, it also promises to whiten dark marks and scars with high melanin concentration.



One of Snoe’s star ingredients in this product is the vegetable ‘Bengkoang’, or locally called as ‘Singkamas’. It’s tagged apparently as the ‘New Papaya’ in skin care science. I also see Aloe Vera in their ingredients list, which is great for soothing sunburns, and Lycopene, a vitamin derived from Tomatoes, which is considered as one of the world’s best antioxidants.


This is a rich and creamy lotion with a white tint, which is the secret behind its ‘Instant White’ promise. It has a yummy fruity bubblegum scent. Absorbability is pretty average, as it needs time to settle onto the skin because of its rich consistency.

So how do you become white in an instant with this lotion? Here’s a comparison pic:


Here are my thunder thighs. :P Notice that my right leg is a tad lighter than my left leg. Despite its white tint, it does not look ‘white’ in pictures, so I think it’s pretty camera friendly. It really made my right leg look whiter in an instant, albeit temporarily because the whiteness was gone after I took a shower.

WORK IT: To make yourself two, three, four, etc. times lighter, apply a thin layer on your body, and let dry before applying another layer. Do it repeatedly until you’ve reached your desired whiteness. However, I would not recommend that you apply more than two layers because its thick consistency is not good for our hot and humid country. And if you’re someone who perspires a lot, applying more than one or two layers may not be a good idea because sweat will just make it slide off from your skin.

This will really come handy to people with naturally fair skin tone because I think the white tint suits them best. It’s great to remedy uneven skin tone and skin discolorations because it acts like a face and body makeup. When you’ll be bearing your arms, shoulders, or back in an event that you can’t miss, but you’re feeling ashamed of showing off those uneven or sunburned parts, grab a bottle of Snoe HCTS because it will temporarily conceal unevenness. And if you use it religiously, I’m pretty sure it will produce impressive results.

However, I find that this is not for me because of the white tint in it. I admire the product’s concept, but I hope Snoe comes out with a version that will cater to consumers who just want a product that has SPF and skin benefits, but sans the white tint. Nevertheless, kudos to Snoe for coming out with such an innovative product!
