Now thats a mouthful !

What the Company claims: After researching with over 20,000 genes, the Pond’s Institute identified a specific gene that significantly affects melanin production. Through this discovery, our most effective skin lightening formulation containing the revolutionary GenWhite™ formula has been created. It adapts to your unique skin to successfully lighten and even-out your complexion and prevent discolorations at the source.

What’s amazing about it is that the product works differently on each person. So, if there are areas on your skin that need extra help and contain more melanin, the formula concentrates on lightening and brightening those exact problem spots.

Ingredients:

This comes in a pink and white oblong shaped tub..a trademark with Pond’s for the biggest size..since its made of glass..one has to be careful and its a little heavy too..not very travel friendly…it has a separate white lid on top which makes the rims messy always.

Its a baby pink colored thick cream with a powder like soft smell..not bothersome..now do not go by its looks..though its a thick cream, it is completely dry and mattifying..so much so that it would best work for oily combination skin..dry skin might needed added moisturisation.

Pros:

1. It does what it claims..it does lighten, brighten and even out skin tone, helps in lightening acne marks..and even helps in removing tan.
2. Completely matte and does not give that shiny greasy feeling..love that in summers.
3. Has SPF 20 PA++ protection..not enough..but something is better than nothing, right.
4. Comes in many different sizes and prices..and the other packing is not a huge glass jar..much travel friendly.

Cons:

1. Gives a whitish cast like in a high SPF sunscreen or a BB cream..its needed to be blended well..would be more so a problem for dusky skin tones.
2. Has parabens, phenoxyethanol and silicones.
3. And now time for some calculations..don’t mind I am a CA :p You get 9g of product for Rs. 10, so for Rs. 60, you can get 54g i.e 4g more than in this tub..so you pay about 4 times more just for the tub..and that goes for all increasing quantities..so its best bought in the smallest pack 😀
4. The white lid makes the rims of the tub messy every time.

Overall I did the cream and I am quite impressed with the formulation..best suited for oily to combination skin..would surely recommend this for them..dry skin may needed added moisture..and its best bought in the smallest pack.
