Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Day Creme Review

Hello Everyone!
Today I will be reviewing the Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Day Creme from the Lakme Perfect Radiance Range launched this April. I have already tried and reviewed the Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Cream which comes in a pink cute metallic tub but this one is different. This whitening creme is from a newly launched intense whitening range (They have introduced those whitening capsules treatment! Remember?) and comes in a different kind of packaging. Read my complete review below.

Product Description:
Fight the 6 blocks of fairness with Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Day Creme
CONTINUOUS RELEASE TECHNOLOGY: This breakthrough technology releases potent skin lightening vitamins continuously into your skin epidermal cells through the day.

My Experience with Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Day Creme

Packaging: This product is packed in a white, sleek tube with a screw type opening. The nozzle dispenses the right amount of product with its tiny hole, hence no wastage. This sleek white tube is placed inside a outer carton and overall, the packaging is simple, travel friendly and easy to use.

Colour, Consistency and Fragrance: This is a white coloured fairness day cream with a very subtle peach tint. The peach tint is almost invisible to the eyes. The texture of this cream is smooth, moderately thick and it has a gentle, pleasing floral fragrance similar to the Lakme Fairness Day Cream which claims to contain sacred lotus extracts. The texture and fragrance of both these creams are more or less similar to each other.

How it works: I used this cream on summer and it suited my normal-oily skin well. This cream spreads smoothly onto the facial skin and gives a perfect matte finish which many oily skinned beauties out there would love. My T-Zone is left with a shine-free finish and moreover it brightened up my face instantly. I had to set the cream with a compact to make its staying power longer. This fairness day cream helped my facial skin stay matte for 3-4 hours but after that my T-Zone started to show some shine. This is not a problem with me though. With regular usage, it did not help lighten my scars or anything. It did not even lighten my complexion and finally, this is one fairness cream for oily skinned beauties who prefer an instant, bright matte finish. The tube packaging can also be considered easy-to-use and hygienic when compared to the previously launched Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Cream which comes in a pink tub. Another thing I wanted to mention is that it caused a very mild tingling sensation on my skin for 2-3 days when I first used it (I am not sure whether it is because of the continuous release technology they claim) and later my skin got practiced to it. Hence, if you have an extra sensitive skin type, you may not like this cream. Overall, this is a good, affordable instant brightening day cream for oily skinned beauties. A tube lasts me for 1 month with daily usage.

Pros of Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Day Creme

• Comes in a neat, easy to use, mess free and travel friendly tube
• Spreads smoothly and settles into a shine free matte finish
• Instantly brightens up the facial skin
• A perfect day cream for every oily skinned beauty out there
• The price is reasonable
• Has a mild floral smell
• Easily available everywhere

Cons of Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Day Creme

• No SPF
• Does cause a mild tingling sensation when used first
• Does not help with whitening skin or anything as claimed.
• Surely a no-no product for normal-dry and dry skinned people
• The matte finish doesn't last more than 3-4 hours

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 3.5/5


Recommendation: Oily skinned beauties who love matte finish day creams can give this a try! Do not expect any whitening or lightening effect from this cream.


Would I Repurchase?: I don't think so. There are more affordable day creams in the market with better results and moreover, I am not that much into fairness products.

LAKMÉ SALON  

Tired of your frizzy, tangled hair?

 Leave the old behind and say Hello to the new Hair Serenity Service at Lakmé Salon  Gives you gorgeously smooth, manageable and party ready hair completely naturally without using formaldehyde

Mumbai, June, 2012: Play it sleek as Lakmé Salon delivers the latest innovation to get silky straight hair with the launch of their new Hair Serenity treatment. Introduced to India by Lakmé Salon, the Hair Serenity treatment is a natural solution to hair that is unruly, frizzy and hair that refuses to behave. Unlike Keratin, the Hair Serenity treatment at Lakmé Salon is formaldehyde free and a safer process for achieving naturally smoother and shinier hair. Step away from the harmful effects of Keratin treatments and indulge in the natural goodness of ingredients like the Cysteine complex to get a glossy and healthy mane that will make heads turn. A pioneer in the beauty services industry in India, Lakmé Salon is a one stop shop for all the beauty needs of the contemporary Indian woman.

The Hair Serenity treatment is a natural way to restore lost proteins and transform hair. Special ingredients used in the service like Cysteine, Dendrobium Orchid, Hydrolyzed wheat protein, Cocoa Seed Butter and Shea Butter help nourish the hair and give it a long lasting shine and smoothness.

Divided into seven essential steps, the service starts off with a detailed consultation with the Lakmé Salon expert who determines the condition of your hair and the best way to proceed with the treatment. The hair is then shampooed and the Cysteine complex is applied to the hair. The complex is allowed to process in your hair as it starts it work on making your hair healthier and more lustrous. The hair is then blow dried and flat-ironed to give it a sleek but yet not poker-straight finish. Post this, the hair is finally rinsed off and you are left with a naturally glossy and manageable blow dried look which lasts for approximately 3 months.

Thus this all-natural service helps:

• Work in synergy with the existing proteins to restructure, soften and release curls
• Penetration into the hair shaft for moisturizing and conditioning
• Helps for overall shine, softness, strength and health of hair
