I came across the L’oreal's White Perfect Day Cream on my hunt
to find something that can reduce pigmentation and imparts even skin tone with instant glow. Products that
claim “Fairer” or “Whiter” skin do not attract me generally, for I stand by the belief that every skin is simply
beautiful in its own way but a radiating effect in a cream is what I always desire for.
A night cream along
with it was a planned buy as I was looking to include serums in my night care
regime from long. Since them both came in a combo offer, it was worth a buy!
It’s been 4 months I have been using both the creams and
feel to have invested enough time to come out with a genuine review. I am only talking about day cream in this post, for night cream deserves
attention of its own, which will be showered in the subsequent article.
"Tested on Asian women, who claim to notice one drop in melanin block, the product reveals the radiant fairness, with its light & non-greasy formula. It is enriched with Melanin-VanishTM, that helps to reduce spots and visibly brighten skin tone and Tourmaline Gemstone, that stimulate skin micro-circulation to reveal your natural healthy glow."

"L’oreal White Perfect Day Cream claims to be an anti-spot
cream with brightening effects along with SPF 17 PA++" (Hello sunscreen!). I like products that are formulated to
address multiple issues. One product and you get sought out with your daily
moisturizer, sunscreen and other skin problems.
Results Claims:
"Immediate
Results: Skin is perfectly hydrated and visibly brighter.
Day after
Day: Dark spots are visible reduced. Skin looks fairer, more transparent with a
healthy glow.”
Packaging:
L’oreal White Perfect Day Cream comes in a heavy glass tub
container with a blue plastic cap. Overall the packaging is quiet sturdy and
travel friendly but tub container makes it unhygienic for use due to constant
dipping of our fingers in the product which allow bacteria to thrive. A pump
packaging would have been a better option for a product that is ought to be
used on daily basis.
It retails for INR 795/- for 50 ml. (Buy here)
Description:
L’oreal White Perfect Day cream has thick cream consistency
which surprisingly feels very light on the skin. It spreads easily with quick
absorption and feels smooth to work with. It emits a strong fragrance which
is definitely chemical in nature but is pleasing. It’s non-greasy nature makes
it suitable for summers. It can also act as a good base primer under your
foundation.

My take on L’oreal
White Perfect Day Cream
Before heading on to the review, here is a quick description
of my facial skin. I have a combination skin that remains neutral to dry all
the year except the T zone, which is oily. I am grateful to have a skin with no
acne issues but do have uneven skin tone at upper lips and outer forehead.
Based on the claims made by L’oreal White Perfect Day Cream,
I tested the product on following criterias:
- · Reduction in spots and blemishes
- · Even skin tone
- · Brightened skin
- · Suitable for all skin types
- · Lasting hours
Having applied the cream on a cleansed face every morning,
one striking feature I noticed was the instant glow it brings. Your skin definitely radiates with even skin tone and the glow looks completely natural. It also
moisturizes the skin and feels light to wear.
Since I have combination skin, I found it comfortable in
summers, indoors and outdoors both. There is no oil formation on my T-zone or
other areas. Hence, I can confer that this product suits all skin types. Also it lasts all through the day. The maximum hours I have worn
it is 11 hours straight and it stayed.
So far, so good! but one thing that surprises me most is the
fact that I instantly look 2 or 3 tones whiter with single application of the
product. One could easily differentiate between the areas where the product is
applied and hence it demands more blending. It works more like a
concealer/foundation that hide spots, blemishes or other flaws by forming a
white cast, almost like a snapchat filter.
The reason to this whitening effect is the advanced melanin vanish blocks that cover the flaws by forming a white film. It surely does feel
amazing the very moment I apply the product, but is it doing anything good in a
longer run?
The answer to that is NO! 4 months down the line and I still
fail to notice any reduction in blemishes or my skin tone. Also I am still
waiting for a rosy glow to radiate from my naturally pale white skin, but ah!..
forget it! Which brings me to a conclusion that much hyped Melanin- VanishTM
blocks work in a way to cover skin flaws and not probably reduce them. Hence,
L’oreal needs to check their data of supposedly “45” Asian women experiencing melanin
drop! That brings me to the fact that its high time for beauty companies to leave behind this centuries old marketing trick of skin fairness and lighter tone shades and cash out on inferiority complexes of not having born with an "ideal body or skin" that we all live with daily. Its time we acknowledge that every individual is beautiful the way he/she is.
So here is my quick review on the product: Well, if you are
someone who is always on the rush and desires for a glowing skin
but investing time in skincare is something out of your league, than this
product is surely for you my ladies! It will grant you radiant skin in
fraction of seconds and you would be all set to conquer the world.
But if you are looking for long time results than it is
advisable for you to shift on natural
ways of curing skin issues, ‘coz this product is going to be a total
disappointment unless you are seeking a good cream for a daily basis.
For me, apart from the whitening part and spot reduction, I love this product
for the glow it brings with good hydration and SPF and I have already made it my daily staple.
Till next time
Keep shining bright
my loves!
