Please recommend a good skincare line

I'm thinking Shiseido, but Shiseido offers so many different lines of skincare products!!
I have darker normal/oily asian skin and i'm looking for something that's both good for my skin and maybe have some whitening/brightening properties. Any suggestions???? oh and approximately how much would it cost???
how come so many japanese girls have good flawless skin?? what's their secret???
thanks!

hmmm maybe kose?? which one's better? kose or shiseido?? ahhhh I hate choices!!

I just bought a kose whitist moisturizer out of impulse...does anyone know anything about it??

I have the kosé "happy bathday" series, and they are VERY good for oily skin. I recommend! But it is of course mainly bathing products...

what about kanebo?
i dont know them but i've been told theyr;e great. Too expensive maybe??

My choice would be Kanebo, but it is very expensive. The company should review their products without compromising on the quality but still able to sell them at a cheaper price.

Orbis, DHC and fancl.
Especially if you like no-preservatives :)
I'm a huge fan of fancl.
