Save Our Skins :- Lakme intense whitening

hello everyone,
 quick skincare review here. so this is what has been saving my sin this summer . i bought the lakme intense whitening night cream is the winters but stopped using it due to the dryness and sensitivity i was experiencing due to the effects of topical retinoids.

price :- inr 299 for 50 g 

packaging:-

the packaging is standard as is with all other perfect radiance products . white with pink and silver accents .this comes in a jar with a screw top. not very hygienic. i use it with a sanitized ice cream spoon.

ingredients:- the list is considerably huge . please click on the picture to read .

what it claims:-

wake up to visibly radiant skin with Lakmé Perfect Radiance NightRepair Crème. Renew and repair with Chronosphere Vitazyme C & Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) at night when your skin's renewal process is at its peak. This lightweight creme leaves no residue leaving your skin smooth and radiant.

• Chronosphere Vitazyme C
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
• Continuous Release Technology
• Suitable for All Skin Types

 my few pennies:-

it may be a cream but the texture is more akin to a gel that turns to lotion upon blending in . this makes the cream wonderful to use unlike some very heavy creams which are very difficult to blend. 

this has a fragrance and it made my skin tingle at least fro 2 minutes when i applied the cream .

what it did:-

•  this reduced my overall face oiliness within 2 weeks.
•  lightened my acne scars.
•  reduced discolourations
• extensively removed tanning from my forehead and nose.
• my skin upreared brighter the next morning.

what it didn't do :-

make my skin any whiter or lighter . i wasn't expecting it to.

thus , all in all IT WORKS. 

it kicked ass of a 2300 inr cream that is extensively promoted by stars as well as bloggers. i wont mention which. guesses welcome in the comments below. 

rating:- 4/5

one deducted for lots of chemical ingredients and jar packaging.

i have found my Hg night cream. have you ?

love,
