Garnier White Complete Fairness Face Wash & Cream Review: #7DayGarnierChallenge

Hi guys,

So I took up the #7DayGarnierChallenge last week where I had to use the Garnier White Complete Fairness Face Wash and the Garnier Multi Action Fairness Cream for 7 days and see the results.

I finished my 7 days yesterday and here is my review.

About the face wash: Exposure to sun, pollution and harsh environmental conditions makes skin appear dull & dark.

Garnier White Complete Fairness Face wash is an effective daily face wash that helps you discover clear, radiant, and even complexion.
You get one tone fairer in one wash!

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.140/- for 100g

About the cream: Get 3 tones fairer skin, in just 7 days

Enriched with natural ingredients, this formula provides instant whitening and long lasting fairness. Your skin looks even, feels fresh and moisturized with a natural glow.

Multi Action fairness cream for glowing skin :
1.Instant Whitening – provides instant whitening
2.Sun Protection with SPF 19 PA+++ – Protects skin from further darkening by harmful UVA and UVB sun rays
3.Long Lasting Fairness – Fairer skin over time with regular usage

Dermatologically tested – suitable for all skin types.

MRP: Rs.160/- for 40g

Ingredients:

I don’t generally review skin care before testing it for a minimum of 21-25 days but since this was a specific challenge for 7 days, I am doing it after exact 7 days.

I have used the previous Garnier Multi Action Fairness Cream and did not like that much, this new formula is quite better in terms of smell and texture and does not give that much of a whitish cast as the old formula did. The old formula used to just sit on the skin and not get absorbed, this is much better and does get absorbed into the skin. This provides SPF19 PA+++ protection too.

It comes in a small jar that is easy to carry and convenient to use. It is a white colored cream, not very thick but normal cream form. It is not very sticky or greasy and gets absorbed instantly. It does not hydrate much, girls with dry skin might need a richer moisturizer especially in winters. I think this will work better for oily to combination skin.

It comes with a shade card at the side of the carton and it did not give me 3 tones fairer skin obviously, but I did see brighter, matte skin and was a tone lighter which I guess was my tan that has now thankfully gone away coz of this combination.

Coming to the face wash, I love it. It is a white colored cream face wash which foams a lot. It removes all the dirt, basic makeup and gives refreshed, brighter skin. It foams really well, does not leave a slimy feeling behind and the skin feels super clean and translucent.

It is quite affordable and comes in smaller packs too, both the face wash and the cream.

L-R: Cream & Face Wash

I would say the combination of the face wash and cream definitely made my skin brighter and helped me get rid of the tan in just 7 continuous days and made it a shade it was originally. Both the cream and the face wash have lemon essence, which is the main ingredient that helps get rid of tan and brightens and tones the skin.

I challenge you all to use the Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream for just 7 days and let me know what you feel about it, either here in the comments below or anywhere on my social media tagging me with the #7DayGarnierChallenge.

Vichy Liftactiv Supreme Cream Normal to Combination Skin Review

Vichy LiftActiv Supreme Progressive Anti-wrinkle and Firmness Correcting Care Cream For Normal to Combination Skin is the complete name. Phew, quite a mouthful it is!

What it claims: New scientific discovery: OVERDAY AGING – it is a biological and clinical reality that the skin ages during the day. In fact, from morning to evening, we can look up to 4 months older, with skin that looks less radiant, saggy and more acentuated wrinkles. These signs of daily aging settle over the years.

Liftactiv Supreme, our 1st overday and long term anti-aging corrector that fights wrinkles and lack of firmness at every moment they appear:

IMMEDIATELY, UNTIL EVENING and IN THE LONG TERM.

– INSTANT 3D OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY:
Offers mattifying and blurring finish, with illuminating effect
– OVER-DAY AGING PREVENTION:
CAFFEINE AND RETINOL-LIKE ADENOSINE promotes cellular energy and responsiveness, so that skin remains smooth, firm and rested all day long.
– FIGHT LONG-TERM AGING EFFECTS:
RHAMNOSE 5%: helps reduce the look of wrinkles and increase skin firmness
NEOHESPERIDINE: a potent anti-oxidant, it boosts the effects of rhamnose, for cellular renewal and global protection.

In 1 month:
Wrinkles look reduced by up to 33%
Skin feels firmer for 93% of women

Efficacy:

Immediately: Blur – Instantly smooth’s the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Brightens complexion.

Until Evening: Stimulate – Skin looks plumped. Features appear younger and more rested.

Over Time: Correct – Deep wrinkles are visibly smoothed. Skin looks firmer.  Illuminated skinwith increased tonicity.

For better results, it is advised to use Lift Activ Supreme in addition with Serum 10.

Key ingredients and their benefits include:

Rhamnose – 5% – long term benefits include increased tonicity and firmness.
Neohesperidine – 0.2% – long term benefits include reinforced long term correction of wrinkles
Caffeine – 0.2% – fights against tiredness and puffiness
Adenosine – 0.1% – rapid anti-wrinkle efficacy

– Tested on sensitive skin under dermatological control.
– Paraben-free and hypoallergenic
– Suitable for all skin types
– Enriched with Vichy Thermal Spa Water

Supreme sensoriality, in 2 distinct texture for all skin types:
– Normaderm to combination skin texture: with glycerin, this cream procures a wonderfully refreshing and comfortable sensation on the skin.
– Dry skin texture: with apricot kernel butter and shea butter. Highly nourishing, the texture quickly melts into the skin.

How to apply: 1. Spread a touch of cream all over the face, the decolleté and the neck, avoiding the eye area.
2. Spread with upward smoothing strokes, from inside to outside. Smooth on gently until thoroughly absorbed.

MRP: Rs.2350/- for 50ml

It comes in a white jar with a mirror cap. I like that, you can apply it anytime,anywhere you are with the help of the mirror and it can help you in emergency touch-ups too 😀 Though it does not have an inner lid or seal and I would have preferred if it came with a small spatula.

I like the face that it comes in two different variants: for normal to combination skin and for dry skin.

I have combination skin and I have been using this normal to combination one for a little more than 2 weeks now. Its a white colored cream, not too thick but neither runny. It has a very mild floral scent and blends easily into the skin.

It moisturises and hydrates the dry patches and cheeks,it does not feel heavy or greasy and gets absorbed quickly. Though for summers and humid areas, oily skin would find this a bit rich and I would advise using this in winters.

I do see firmness and tightness in the skin. A thing called overday ageing does exist, how many of you have observed dull skin at the end of the day? I have quite a few times. Skin remains brighter and firmer with this and over time, I saw reduced dullness at the end of the day and also the pores look much reduced in size,maybe coz of the rhamnose,adenosine and the 3D technology.

It gives a smooth,velvety finish to the skin and the foundation glides on really well. It works equally well as a night cream too. I prefer using it at night or on colder days. I would be using it more in winters.

I don’t have wrinkles, so can’t really judge the anti-wrinkle claim.

It is expensive but this jar will last you a long,long time. I guess it would easily last 5-6 months, so turns out reasonable.

Overall I would say it actually gives a firmer,smoother appearance to the skin and is a nice, hydrating, day cream. Though I would not recommend it for oily skin unless in winters. Dry skin variant has apricot kernel oil which again would be perfect for dry skin with all the same basic ingredients and quality. Recommended.

The moisturizer from this ZA Perfect Solution Restoring Collagen Cream also won the Elle Beauty Awards 2014 in the category of Anti-aging moisturizer.

I have used the True White Range before, and now tried this Perfect Solution range. Since this is more anti-ageing, I was not really sure if it would show any difference on me. I thought let me give it a try and then I would even make my mom and sister in law try it.

I started using it at night since its rich in texture, I thought it would be very heavy for daytime. I absolutely loved how my face looked the next morning. Smoother and softer and very fresh and clear. no oiliness or greasiness.

It is an off white colored cream,rich in texture and does feel heavy if more qty is used. Otherwise it settles in a few minutes, but one can feel the skin tightening immediately.

I have combination skin and dry cheeks basically, so concentrate more on using it in that area. Slowly I started using it during day time too. You know how you have dry patches at times and those show more when you apply makeup, making the base look patchy. This would solve your problem! Gives intense moisturisation to the skin, no dry patches. But I use it sparingly in a lesser quantity during the day,especially if I have to go out since Mumbai is a very humid city.

It comes with a small white spatula which makes it easy to remove the product and one need not dip fingers in it, hygienic! The quantity of 40g lasts a long long time. I used it, my mom and sister in law used it, still there is more than half yet left since you do not need much.

Mom is in her early 50’s and sister in law in 30’s. Both saw visible results with it, you can feel the skin tightening immediately and can see the skin being smoother and softer with some difference in lines when used continuously.

I would highly recommend this for dry skin or people just touching 30’s, this is an perfect moisturizer to use. Would recommend oily skin to try the EBA Winner Moisturizer which is in liquid form. I am going to continue using it at night especially since winters are setting in.
