Citra Pearl Fair Face Cream : Review

Face whitening & brightening creams sell like hot cakes in India. If someone really does the math, might really wonder, how come Indians still have olive skin tones? Because a face cream or face wash that claims to whiten skin tone cannot really alter the original shade of skin. So the skin whitening creams are a hoax? No, they are not useless. I am not against using brightening creams. From time to time I too use them depending upon my skin condition. After having a nice experience with Citra Green Tea Spot Less Face Cream, I also tried my hands on Citra Pearl Fair Face Cream.

My main intention to buy the cream was to only put it for a review since I was getting a lot of hits for this face cream. I have been testing it from last 2 weeks which I think is a nice time to talk about a skin care product. Let me walk you through the review of this face cream. I shall also tell you why it’s important to use a brightening cream.

Ingredients

Packaging

Citra Pearl Face Cream comes packaged in the signature packaging of Citra i.e. shiny white opaque tube with beautifully printed labels on it. The tube has a pump fitted at the top which is covered with a transparent plastic cap to avoid accidental pump pressing or product spillage. The packaging is quite travel friendly. To read the details about the product you can refer to the outer packaging of the cream which is more readable.

Fragrance & Texture

This is a light weight & non greasy white colored cream which gets absorbed very quickly into the skin. I really like such creams which take no effort to sink into the skin. Fragrance of the cream is mild & nice but feels artificial.

My Experience

I have oily, acne prone & sensitive skin. All the hell can break loose in just one application of any skin care product which is not suitable for my skin type. I have had nice experience with the green tea version of the cream, hence picked up this pearl one.

Why I need to use a brightening cream? Whitening & brightening are two different terms. Whitening is like you are trying to whiten your skin tone (which is almost impossible unless you go really harsh on your skin), while brightening in skin care refers to the polished version of your skin tone. Removing tan & dead skin from epidermis can really do the trick. Also to get rid of dark spots , is an added advantage when you use a brightening cream. My main concern is the dark spots left behind by frequent acne eruptions. Using a brightening creams is must for me.

I like the texture of Citra Pearl Fair Face Cream that is almost similar to Citra Green Tea Face Cream. It is light weight and gets easily absorbed. There is no white cast to be noticed, maybe because there is no SPF as well. There is no heavy feeling or oily residue to be noticed. It feels like it’s the best matte glow & smooth finish to the skin.

After one and half an hour I start to feel oily T zone. That I can still bear but it really start irking my skin. It even ignited already dead acne spots. It is like a fuel to acne bacteria. Dreadful.

Dislikes

Do I recommend Citra Pearl Fair Face Cream?

• Normal to Combination skinned beauties who do not suffer from acne eruptions would really love this face cream.
• Dry skinned girls will not get enough moisture out of this face cream
• Oily skinned girls with acne, please do not invest in this face cream.
• I am not going to repurchase this face cream.

Citra Pearl Fair Face Cream with Korean Pink Pearl contains quite exotic ingredient. Pearl is generally associated with complexion enhancement. It does work in that field while being affordable & economical. But it is not for every one. If you do not have oily or acne prone skin, you might find it really nice & working for you to great extent. But otherwise stay away from it.

 

The packaging is really charming and the ingredient – pink pearls really attracts but I am never opening this tube again. What do you have to say about this face cream? Do you have any experience with Citra products? Leave your lovely comments below.
