Pond's White Beauty™ Visible Lightening Day Cream with GenWhite™ Formula- Review and My Pond's Blogger's contest prize

Hi friends,

I shared with you the information about Pond's new launch - Pond’s white beauty™ Visible Lightening Day Cream SPF 20/ PA++ with GenWhite™ formula sometime back HERE

I've been using this particular cream since past 10 days now, and below goes my experience regarding the same.

Pond’s white beauty™ Visible Lightening Day Cream SPF 20/ PA++ with GenWhite™ formula

 After researching with over 20,000 genes, the Pond’s Institute identified a specific gene that significantly affects melanin production. Through this discovery, our most effective skin lightening formulation containing the revolutionary GenWhite™ formula has been created. It adapts to your unique skin to successfully lighten and even-out your complexion and prevent discolorations at the source.What’s amazing about it is that the product works differently on each person. So, if there are areas on your skin that need extra help and contain more melanin, the formula concentrates on lightening and brightening those exact problem spots.

 My experience with this cream:

I got the 50 grams jar of the cream and I love the packaging because of the cute shape of the jar. Coming to the cream, the consistency reminds me of the old-time "Vanishing creams" my mom used to apply (from Pond's itself!) that had a bit fluffy and mousse like texture! I usually scoop out some of this cream, dot it all over my face and then blend it in. The cream gets absorbed and blended into my skin to give a matte finish, and does work quite well in keeping my face shine free for hours. I love the way it feels so light on my skin, while giving a powdery matte finish. I never felt the need of applying a compact after this cream (for my oily-combination skin!).

The cream has definitely worked in brightening my skin over the past 10 days since I've been using it. My skin feels clearer and brighter than it was before. Also, since the cream comes with SPF 20, it works as a good sun protectant as well in current monsoons, when I need just mild sun protection for my skin. I've never felt any kind of irritation or allergy from this cream and this has become my everyday day-cream at present.

The dislikes that I've felt about this cream contain in the fact that the ingredients show a lot of chemicals gone into it, along with parabens. Apart from that, the pricing of the cream for the quantity is a bit weird and unevenly distributed in my opinion.

Also, you need to be careful in the amount of this cream that you take out for application, as it might create a whitish cast if taken in excess and you'd have to take your time making it blend seamlessly into your skin.

Since, I mentioned above that it has a consistency of "Vanishing cream", it does feel a bit sticky initially, but then the effect gets normal within seconds. Also, I don't think it'd be too ideal for people with dry skin.

Overall, it is a decent cream for people with oily-combination skin. It mattifies well, brightens up the skin and also contains SPF 20. If you are staying in a hot and humid place, then this can definitely be the perfect match for your skin type.

Rating: 4/5 (B+)
