Packaging:

The WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème comes in a cute bulky tub with a screw lid; Lotus Herbals has worked on their product presentation really well this time. 

About the crème:

The WHITEGLOW range is already hyped enough for its products, and this gel crème is not less worth the praise and hype.

In the entire range of products by WHITEGLOW, this cream is my third favorite, the first being the scrub and then the micro emulsion.

This is perfect day crème for summers. It’s a watery gel crème, which soaks up in the skin like magic, leaving the skin hydrated, sun protected and healthy looking. 






Reasons to love the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème:

• The first advantage of the cream is that it has SPF 25, PA+++ (PA refers to the ranking of the sun protection of the product; PA+++ ranks the highest giving maximum sun protection).
• The crème is a water gel which penetrates into the skin within no time, although you may see a white cast whilst applying and you skin may look oily, but within 5 minutes of application the crème soaks up into your skin, leaving it moisturized and oil-free.
• You can certainly have your foundation on after applying the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème (I am mentioning this, since I do it like every day and the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème has no adverse effects on the looks and feel of your foundation and concealer routine) or simply let your skin breath with the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème alone. 
• It has a subtle lingering scent.  Very fresh and apt for summers. 
• There are no specifications if it is a day crème or night crème but I like using it in the day times, since it gives the right sun protection and moisturization.
• The ingredients are the best catch for the product, grape extract, mulberry extract, milk enzyme, saxifraga extract, a sure treat for the skin.
• Suits my skin, I have a very sensitive combination skin, which tends to grow oilier by the summer, hence I was reluctant about this staying on my skin, but as claimed by Lotus Herbals, it works awesomely for combination skin too. Not just combination skin, it works like magic on my mum’s oily skin too.  It never leaves her skin oily or shiny looking.
• It’s for all skin types.
• The skin whitening and brightening part, well, I have been using it for a while over 7 days for sure but it hasn’t made my skin light in shade or bright, but yes it gives a nice radiance to the skin, a healthy glow. My skin doesn’t look polluted and dusted even when I am outdoors. 
• It did NOT break me out, which is GREAT for a sensitive skin person like me. 






Reasons to dislike the WHITEGLOW skin whitening & brightening gel crème:

I seriously can’t ask for more from a summer day cream, it certainly has no flaws.

Repurchase/ recommendation:

Yes, I would repurchase it for my summers, and I would recommend this to all ladies especially those of you all are outdoors, this would certainly shield your skin from the sun and dust thus helping you keep up the natural feel of your skin.

Ratings:

4/5 ( -1 for the skin whitening and brightening faux claims)
