Pond's White Beauty Pinkish-White Glow Lightening Cream

Contains:

Lycopene:

•  A powerful natural anti-oxidant. (Antioxidants combat free radicals that can damage skin cells.)

Pro-Vitamin B3:

• To create a potent skin lightening complex.

I know the flash doesn't let your read the rest of it but I was in a hurry and didn't fix it.

Claims:

Finally, a lightening cream that goes well beyond just whitening your skin. With new Pond's White Beauty, see your skin visibly transformed to a radiant pinkish-white glow.
With Lycopene, Pro-Vitamin B3 and triple sunscreen, this moisturizing cream gently evens out skin tone as it works from within to nourish your skin, leaving it instantly brighter, softer and more radiant. And its triple sun protection keeps skin safe from damaging UV rays.Your radiant, new pinkish-white complexion is here to stay.

My Opinion:

I bought the 20g version of it just to test it out. It's a really cute tube and it's not plastic, it's kind of a rubber because it squeezes and is soft. So cute. Anyway, moving on.
The cream inside is just like its sister, Pond's Flawless White, white with a pinkish tint. And the smell, too. But the result isn't. At first when applied, it gives the same effect. Like you have a light powder on. Clean, matte and fresh look. But after a while, it oxidized on me and left kind of weird dark shadows around the bridge of my nose every time I used it. So I stopped using it. Shame cause the tube is so cute. I don't feel like wasting it even if it's only 20 g(less now). Maybe I'll use it on my neck.

I bought it for 90 or 95 Pkr. I, um, forgot >.<

Do I recommend it?

Not really. Not for regular use but if you have to run errands and need to freshen up your face in a hurry then yes. Otherwise, nope.

Claims:

Visibly lightens skin and reduces dark spots in just seven days. VAO-B3 works on dark spots, reducing discoloration and perfecting skin tone.
Enriched with new VAO-B3 complex* and multiple UV sunscreens, this moisturizing day cream knows where your skin needs extra help. The result? Luminous and flawlessly radiant look that's also protected from the sun's UVA/UVB rays!

My experience with it:

I love it!! I was actually on the fence about buying it because usually these 'fairness' and 'glow' creams don't work and turn out to be awful products. But I gave into the ads and it's packaging and just bought it. I'm so glad I did. (By the way,  this one's from 'Philippines')
At first when you apply it, it gives you a white but matte & clean look. Like you would with other cosmetic creams (e.g. Fair & Lovely.)  But don't worry if you don't like the fake-whitening effect cause it goes away after a little while. It seems kind of heavy when you take it out but it's not. It doesn't feel heavy on my face even though I have oily skin. After using it for over a week, I noticed a difference. First of all, the oil control was awesome!! Not only when I have it on but even when I don't. Also, its claim to reduce dark spots and perfecting skin tone, I would say, is spot on. Yes, I noticed the difference.

Pros:

1. The packaging!!!! (No, I'm not shallow. I don't only buy the products because of their packaging. I actually researched about this product before I bought but you've gotta admit the packaging alone should be enough to convince you ;) lol )
2. Awesome oil-control and matte look.
3. Effectiveness. Actually does what it claims to a large extent.
4. The smell. That rosy kind of creamy smell. (This one depends on person to person, though)
5. The texture. I mean, it's PINK!! Lol.
6. Doesn't break you out. Score!!

Cons:

1. I don't believe there are any cons. But just for the sake of it, I guess the price. But you know, it wouldn't be fair to a product this good to be cheaper than this!

(And yes, I don't count the 'jar' packaging a con, some people would. But I always use a clean Cotton-bud to take it out.)

So I would definitely recommend it!!


 Recommended.
