Ingredients

Packaging

Olay white radiance brightening cream comes in a luxurious tub with screw on cap. The tub has an inner lid to prevent leakage but I threw it away because it was a bit bothersome to remove and put it every time you open it. The tub is sturdy, luxurious and not as heavy as glass tub since it is made of plastic. Hence, it is travel friendly. The tub comes enclosed in a cardboard box packaging that has all the necessary information about the product.

Fragrance

It has floral fragrance which is mild and does not linger for long after application but somehow I don’t like the smell, it seems like very synthetic and full of chemicals.

Olay White Radiance Brightening Intensive Cream And My Experience

First of all I wanna say I love the packaging, it looks so pretty and luxurious and the formula inside is peach colored having a thick creamy consistency. I apply in dots and blend it well, it does not takes too long to get absorbed. The finish it provides is not completely matte but does not makes my skin oily or greasy either, it just leaves slight sheen on the skin. It provides right amount of moisture to my normal skin type. This leaves completely no white castwhich is a very good point about it. Most of the fairness cream especially day creams were either too patchy or cakey but this one does not give any cakey or patchy appearance.

I have been using this since past three months and it took me about two weeks to see some noticeable results and with regular usage my skin becomes even toned and looks more radiant. It also claims to lighten dark spots but I don’t have any dark spots so can’t say anything on this topic.

It has lots of chemicals and parabens but my skin has not reacted to any of the ingredients and never caused any breakouts although if you already have any kind of skin problems then it’s better not to use this.

Overall the cream is pretty effective but contains lots of chemical also the price point is quite high.
