Za True White Day Cream with SPF 20 PA++ : Review

Hi, I am going to write about the white girl in town, Za True White Day Cream. Za is from the house of Shiseido Japan which is an old and reputed brand in skincare and makeup. This particular line also comprises of an emulsion and night cream which I quite liked.

It is another cream claiming to whiten the skin. But today’s woman of Internet era is not so ignorant. We all know skin color can’t be changed (read as whiten) unless we go through some surgical procedures or harsh chemical routine. Then why do we buy such creams labelled as ‘whitening’. We just wish to get rid of the un-even skin tone or age spots or dark spots due to zits. That’s all we want from a whitening cream to give us an even toned glowing skin.

Highlights of ZA True White Day Cream SPF 20 PA++

• Whitening Effect with 4MSK
• Vitamin C
• SPF ingredients
• White Lily Extract

Price

This is a costly affair as it sells at Rs. 999 for 40 grams.

Packaging

It comes in a transparent cover which provides all the product information like how to use, main ingredients, price, weight etc. I lost its outer cover so I don’t have its pictures. The cream comes in a white plastic jar with a pretty shape. The jar is quite sturdy and leak proof.

Texture, Colour & Smell

The color of the cream is milky white. The texture of the cream is velvety soft. It is lightweight and hence absorbs pretty fast. I am in love and hate relationship with the smell of this cream. When I first apply the cream it smells like alcohol. But after few seconds there comes a mild floral smell which I adore.

My Experience with ZA True White Day Cream

I bought this cream especially because everyone was raving about it. Also it claims to have vitamin C which is a superb ingredient for a skin care product. My skin concern is mainly the dark spots that I get due to the occasional zits. The cream also has SPF 20 in it hence no need for a separate sunscreen unless you are going out in the sun.

I used this cream for about four weeks regularly after my bath in the morning. It absorbs really fast and gives little sheen to the skin initially, but if you touch your face, it feels matte. Wow. Also it does not make my skin greasy after few hours as other matte creams I have tried. With regular use it evens out the skin tone which is quite desirable. Coming to the dark spots, I don’t find remarkable difference. The spots are still there just little bit lighter. Guess spot correcting needs more time.

This cream provides the right amount of hydration to my oily skin. I don’t need another moisturiser.

Oh yes, the product has some downfall too. The cream is matte and non greasy but it makes me sweat during summers. Oh God, why?

I thought I found the perfect day cream but I guess, I will have to wait. So my hunt for an I-won’t-make-your-face-sweaty day cream starts again…phew!!
