The Face Shop White Seed BLANCLOUDING White Moisture Cream : Review

Last week I got The Face Shop Experience Kit, which constituted a moisturising cream, two face masks and a CC Cushion. Starting from last weekend I started using the moisture cream, called White Seed BLANCLOUDING White Moisture Cream. This is a pure moisture cream with brightening effect. I could use it only for 4 days. Why? Read on.

About The Face Shop White Seed BLANCLOUDING White Moisture Cream

I was really impressed to read about the moisture cream on The Face Shop company website. This cream has an elastic texture which is achieved by following the natural process of formation of clouds. Now I do not understand what significance does this elastic texture has on skin. The Face Shop claims this cream contains a compound consisting of White Lupin Seed, which contains a natural brightening substance, and White Daisy Flower extract, which helps reducing dullness. All in all, this compound makes skin look bright and clear.

Also this cream is formulated without parabens, tar colorant, animal-sourced ingredients, mineral oil, talc, polyacrylamide, paraffin.

Price

$40 for 50ml.

Packaging

It comes in a very cute white tub packaging with greyish lid. I do not like tub packaging for skin care items but, this I have something for small & cute tub packaging. I might not even throw the empty jar.

Colour, Texture & Smell

It is a white coloured gel cream with elastic texture. By elastic I literally mean it has little rubber like texture. When I try to pick some product it stays glued to the jar. The smell of this cream is very mild, pleasantly sweet and does not irritate my nose.

My Skin Type

Oily, Acne Prone & Sensitive.

My Views

I bought The Face Shop Experience Kit, as it was a lucrative deal on Amazon. The White Seed Moisture Cream, was the very first item from the kit I started using very first. I am always very sceptical about using a product mainly termed as moisture/moisturiser. Since I have oily skin, and it can not bear heavy creams even during winter.

The texture of the cream is smooth but elastic(little rubbery). I have never used a product with this texture. But this texture does not interfere with the application of the cream on skin. I take pea sized cream and dot it over my forehead, cheeks and chin. And then massage it gently. The cream gets absorbed very fast leaving no oiliness or greasiness behind. There is also no white cast. It’s a pure moisture cream which sans any SPF.

My skin feels moisturised for the entire day and there is little brightening effect. there is no dullness/ roughness or dry spots to be seen or feel. For the first 3 days I quite liked this cream very much.

The fourth day I woke up with small 3-4 small zits on my cheeks where I hardly get any. This was a sign that something was wrong. I thought I ate something wrong. Later after bath when I was applying this moisture cream, I realised, this is s the change that have caused the zits. And I sighed.

Another mistake. Now the scars will take for ever to fade away. I have stooped using this cream altogether. I was using this twice a day. My skin could not take that much dose of moisture I guess. I really liked the brightening glow on face this cream gave.

Also it is not that easily available in India and is really pricey. So ditching this won’t hurt much.I have some cream left in the sample jar which I guess Neeraj will be using as he has dry skin type.
