Which is a shame because I have a truckload of products waiting to be written up.
But here we go with these two moisturisers - day and night - part of the 'whitening' range from Elucent. I received these sample sizes as part of a little package of samples from a beauty website. I have definitely used an Elucent product before but I'm stuffed if I can remember what it was. I remember I liked it though.
The Whitening range is supposed to brighten your skin and reduce uneven skin tone. As someone who has a little bit of pigmentation (hey, I grew up in Australia ... these things can't be helped!) I'm always keen to try out products like this. I used the day and night creams in sync for a good couple of weeks and definitely noticed lovely, smooth, well hydrated skin during that time. Did the creams reduce pigmentation and uneven skin tone? I can't say because I didn't take before and after shots but because they worked at their core business of moisturising my skin looked good.
The day cream
The day cream is SPF 30 - yay! A moisturiser with something approaching serious sun protection. The cream is quite light and goes on easily and is absorbed quickly. It does have a little bit of a white cast to it but that disappears when the cream is absorbed. The cream does have the slight feel of sun cream to it but it hydrates and provides a pretty good base for foundation too.
The sunblock side of this cream definitely does its job - I wore this on a ferry crossing when I stood on deck for almost the full 45 minutes and didn't get sunburnt.
The night cream
The night cream is a completely different texture to the day cream. It's thicker and feels richer but it is quickly absorbed and I didn't wake up feeling like I had a greasy face.
These creams aren't cheap and they're not widely available. But you can pick them up at Chemist Warehouse.
