After reviewing Citra Pimple Free Green Tea Face Wash I was getting many requests to review the counterpart face cream also. So here I am, writing about Citra Spot Less Fair Face Cream. I got the face wash and cream duo together from a nearby supermarket. What attracted me to the brand? The packaging & the main ingredient – Japanese Green Tea. Plus the brand claims to organic. I use the cream daily after shower in the morning. It’s been like two weeks and I have almost hit the bottom of the tube. It’s time I really conclude my experience and make a decision to buy it again or not.

Packaging
The face cream comes packaged in the same packaging as the face wash. The face cream also consists of an efficient pump at it’s mouth. The pump is also covered with a transparent cap so that there is no accidental pumping. The outer packaging is also attractive. Product details can be found on the tube as well as on the outer package.
Fragrance & Texture
The fragrance of the cream is very pleasant, floral and soothing. I like to smell it again and again. The texture of the cream is really light weight and it just absorbs as soon as I apply it. When I used it for the first time, I was really amazed to see that a cream could vanish into skin so quickly. The creams sinks into skin leaving skin matte.
My Experience
I have oily, acne prone & sensitive skin. It demands oil free moisture and matte look. Citra face cream really is light weight and sinks into skin within seconds leaving matte finish behind. My skin stays oil free for next 3-4 hours during these monsoon days when my skin turns oily with one hour. So it undoubtedly is a great day cream for oily skin.
It gives skin a bright look. Not a white cast but a bright complexion. Though I did not notice much difference in the appearance of my acne scars. But I like how soft my skin feels. It gives just the right amount of moisture to my skin. My skin does not require any other moisturizer.
I wish I had gotten this cream few months back when I was looking for a nice day cream. This is one affordable day cream which sans sunscreen, which could be a drawback for few girls. But I like to use SPF free day creams otherwise my skin gets all bumpy.
Citra Spot Less Fair Face Cream is very affordable and economical. It has quick absorbing formula, gives matte finish and don’t get me started with the fragrance part. I feel the packaging too is very attractive and sturdy. It does not fade away scars magically but surely gives nice bright look for everyday.
How did you like this cream? Sounds good? Let me know if you too have tried this.
Waiting for your comments… Love.

As mentioned by you even I loved the packaging. It’s has amazing pastel sort of shade which makes it look very serene. The fact that it gives Matt finish is really amazing as the skin will also look even and smooth.
