I have been using Lotus Herbals White Glow Cream and serum for almost 20 days now. I think time is ripe that I do the review now. To start with, I have combination skin.
What do these product claims?
Enriched with Grape, Mulberry, Saxifrage extracts and Milk enzymes that are known fairness agents A revolutionary formula that blends the benefits of a gel and a cream. It also contains sunscreens to protect the skin from harmful UVA&UVB rays that can darken the skin.
Price: Rs 260 for 60 gm
Pros
-I like the texture of the cream. The texture is something between gel and cream.It’s light and gets absorbed within 5-7 seconds of applying.
The cream is excellent for winter and summer. It’s not oily and even during the day it does not make my skin T Zone oily.
Even though the cream is light, it provides good moisturization to skin. I have not faced any dry patches or stretching even after 6 hours of applying this cream.
-It has SPF 25, which is definitely an added benefit.
The cream has mild pleasant fragrance.
I like the packaging. It’s pretty translucent glass jar with silver metal screw cap.
The gel cream claims skin lightening and brightening. Well! I have neither seen skin brightening nor lightening of my skin even after applying it for so many days. What I have definitely noticed that my skin does not look dull. Since I have started going to office now, my skin is getting more exposed to pollution, sun and dust. My skin is a lot prone to looking dull and tired. I think this cream has definitely helped in keeping my skin the way it is, if not anything better.
-This gel cream would work just fine for girls with combination- oily skin as well.
Cons
-The claim of skin lightening and brightening within 7 days is quite tall. I think that would be possible only if you are in a.c. all the time.
-They have used parabens as preservatives.
-The glass pot, although pretty, is quite bulky to carry around.
Overall I would say is that it’s a nice cream. Light and gets absorbed quickly. Don’t expect any miraculous brightening or whitening. If you stay at home most of the time, it might add some brightness to skin. For office going girls, it might help retain the original texture of your skin, if nothing else.
