Product Review: Silka Premium Whitening Papaya Lotion SPF30 with Milk and Honey

     When in doubt will you still say YES? Do you have the guts to say YES to a new skin care product because it promises more than what you're expecting? To tell you honestly, I've been skipping a few brands of skin care products in the display shelves because I think they don't work. I'm so picky when it comes to whitening lotions because for me fair skin is more than just the white complexion. Fair and flawless skin should be healthy and nourished. It must be protected from pollutants and damaging sun rays. So for me a whitening lotion must have the right amount of spf plus added skin beautifying ingredients.

     A few weeks ago, I was invited to an event where saying YES means a lot. Saying YES to all the things that we want to achieve. I presume you know that feeling- achieving what you have planned for so long but suddenly you lose hope because something is bringing you down. This also can happen in the products that we're using. Like for example in whitening lotion. Yes, I love using whitening lotion but I fear of basking under the sun and doing simple things like biking or playing with my son because I fear of getting dark. But because there's one brand of lotion that will make me say YES in doing what I'm afraid to do under the sun, I think having a fair and even skin tone without the fear of sunburn can now be achieved with Silka.

Product Review: Silka Premium Whitening Papaya Lotion SPF30 with Milk and Honey

     I've been using Silka Premium Whitening Lotion in Papaya with Milk and Honey for more than two weeks now and I can say I had a wonderful experience using the product. I underestimated Silka's power before. My sister-in-law swears by Silka and now I believe in her statements. To tell you honestly, two weeks is so short to gauge Silka's whitening effect on my fair skin. I guess using this religiously will give me better results in the whitening department. But if you have morena skin tone, using this everyday, twice a day for a month will give you noticeable results.

     Anyhoo, I'm satisfied with the results after two weeks even though it didn't make my skin whiter. I can see the glow after every use. The price is also a plus. To know more about my experience, scroll down dearies.

Product Review: Silka Premium Whitening Papaya Lotion SPF30 with Milk and Honey
It has a thick consistency

What I like:

• The price- pretty affordable because a 200 ml is less than Php 200.
• The scent- I'm surprised that it doesn't smell like baby powder. There's a mild but refreshing scent.
• It has a thick consistency but it's so easy to spread and apply.
• Once applied, the lotion is absorbed easily.
• It is very light and non- greasy.
• Moisturizes my skin feels instantly.
• It makes my skin soft and smooth to touch after application.
• It gives instant glow on skin after application.
• It contains a good amount of sun protection- SPF30 to be exact.
• It didn't gave me further irritation or allergies or whatsoever even though I've been using this lotion during the time I suffered from seafood related skin allergies.
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the bottle.
• Available in 3 sizes: 50 ml, 100 ml, and 200 ml
• Easily accessible.

What I don't like:

• I didn't notice a fairer skin since since I'm already fair to begin with. 

Will I repurchase? Yes, it's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. Even though there is no significant change in my skin tone, this lotion is promising. Aside from the whitening department, we also need to consider the amount of spf and skin beautifying factors in a lotion. This also contains skin vitamins like milk, honey, and vitamin e so not bad for a very affordable lotion. I also like the scent and it's a plus for me. I have tried several brands of whitening lotion in the market that has the same effects in my skin like Silka but this one trumps in terms of scent and price.

     Overall, I highly recommend Silka Premium Whitening Lotion if you're looking for a non-greasy lotion that has a decent or should I say good amount of spf perfect for everyday use. But if you'll be staying for long hours in the sun, you still need to use a separate sunscreen for added protection. Thank you so much Silka for having me and for letting me realize that more than white skin, a balanced and healthy skin means living happy and  beautifully!

Product Review: Allele White Lotion

    Hi dearies! I'm sure you're excited to read this review and been waiting for months to see how it fared with my fair skin. I just finished the bottle of this lotion yesterday because I don't use it everyday. It took me around a month to consume all the contents of this instant white lotion because I use it every other day or when I feel like using it. I was also road testing another skin care product the time I got this lotion.

     This product works like magic if you really want to achieve that 'instant white skin' in minutes :) Since this product is a bleaching lotion, continued use does not only give that 'instant white effect' because it does lighten and whiten dark marks. It also contains anti-aging ingredients that I'm sure those who have tight budget will surely like. This product also functions as 2-in-1 (whitening and anti-aging) lotion in a bottle. To know more about the product and my experience scroll down dearies :)

     The word “ALLELE” ( 'a, leel ) pertains to one of two or more versions of a gene. An individual inherits two ALLELE from each gene, one from each parent. ALLELE carries the genetic codes which gives us our distinct characteristics passed on from our parents to us, then from us to our offsprings. there are specific ALLELE for different eye color, hair color, and skin color. If you were not born with the ALELLE for fair skin, Take control and be white now!

Product Review: Allele White Lotion
Photo was taken during the intimate launch. Applied Allele White on my arm, can you spot the difference? Not that obvious in this photo because of the restaurant's lighting. 

What I like:

• The scent is very nice! It's like I've sprayed a known perfume in my body whenever I apply this lotion. The scent also lingers.
• It has a thick consistency but easy to spread and apply.
• Made my skin soft and smooth to touch after use.
• The INSTANT WHITE EFFECT is pretty obvious because of Titanium Dioxide and high number of SPF.
• The instant white effect doesn't wears off easily with little sweat. 
• I noticed that the whitening effect lasted for more than 8 hours on my skin without reapplication and without taking a bath.
• Contains powerful ingredients like Vitamin C,  Papaya, and Arctosphylos Uva- usi (Bearberry Extract). Combination of whitening and anti-aging ingredients in one bottle.
• A little goes a long way.
• It's light on skin once applied and non-greasy too.
• It has SPF35, one of the highest sun protection factor present in an instant white lotion that I've tried to date.
• It has a micro-peeling effect on my skin.
• It maintained my fair skin tone even if I'm always out running for errands. I'm already fair to begin with and emptying one bottle in a month's time is not enough to see if there's a drastic change in my skin tone. But for those with morena skin tone, I presume that after finishing one bottle, you will see a little to drastic change in your skin tone.
• Hypoallergenic and Dermatologist tested..

What I don't like:

• The price can be a bit steep for budget conscious individuals since it only contains 75 grams in one bottle. 
• Application can be tricky. It has a concealing effect and if I'm in a hurry, I tend to over blend it so streaks of white lines are really noticeable in my skin.
• It can be drying so a deep moisturizing lotion is needed once or twice a week.
• It can stain dark colored bags and clothing since this is a bleaching product.
• Not easily accessible. You have to order it online.

Will I repurchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:

     I give this lotion a 4.5/5 rating. The INSTANT WHITE EFFECT is REALLY OBVIOUS so be careful not to go overboard if you have medium skin tone. It contains high SPF so no need to worry about sun exposure BUT it is still advisable to lessen sun exposure while using whitening products. Since the application of the lotion is a bit tricky, I advise you to apply a little amount first. Dab the product in a dotted motion then spread until even. It is best applied after taking a bath or shower where the skin is still damp.

     I will recommend Allele White to those who really want to whiten their skin in an instant. It will give an obvious white effect once applied and absorbed by the skin.

Good Times!~

Product Review: SkinWhite Advanced PowerWhitening Lotion

     Not all of us are confident with our own skin. Even if I'm already fair enough, there are times that I worry because my skin tends to become dry and dull. There are so many whitening lotions in the market today and only a few of them gives me the glow and blush white skin that looks healthy. I received a bottle of SkinWhite Advanced PowerWhitening Lotion and tried it for 2 weeks. I'm happy to recommend SkinWhite as one of the brands of whitening lotion that will give us healthy and blushing white skin.

Product Review: Mischka Derma Secret Hydrating Whitening Body Lotion

     There are two things that will always be a mainstay in my bath essentials: 2 bars of soap and a bottle of lotion. That's how I cleanse my body everyday, no matter how cold the weather is. I seldom use warm water or take hot baths during cold season. I can take a bath in the evening and it's my own version of the ice bucket challenge. Kidding aside, hope you'll not get mad but that's how I can describe cold tap water these past few days. The colder the water, the drier my skin after taking a bath.

     Because I'm road testing whitening soaps that may attribute to the dryness of my skin, I need to resort to moisturizing lotions or hydrating body lotions to lessen the dryness. Most of the lotions that I have on my stash are whitening lotions. Good thing Mischka Derma Secret sent me one of their lotion variants, the hydrating and whitening body lotion. I'm expecting this lotion to help me combat dryness and the word 'hydrating' sounds like I can get a moisturized skin while lightening it at the same time! I've been using this lotion for 3 weeks now, I can say that I'm quite satisfied with the performance. I think this is much better from the first variant that I've tried because of the scent which I really, really love! So now click CONTINUE READING to see my experience about the product :)
