Review on Clarins Protective Whitening Day Lotion

Clarins White Plus HP Protective Whitening Day Lotion SPF20 PA++ 50ml/1.7fl.oz.

Product Description
A protective day care which ensures comfortable, radiant, matte skin all day long. It brightens and evens the complexion, hydrates the skin, leaving it satin-soft with a velvety, matte finish.

All products under the White Plus HP range contains plant extracts of Alchemilla and Raspberry and a Vitamin C derivative to ensure reinforced protection against hyperpigmentation.
What I love about it is that, other than its oil-free, it has sun protection as well.
As far as I know, products with SPF usually can get oily so this is a fabulous 2 in 1 product, which helps to minimize in layering so many products in the morning.

The only gripe I have, is the hydration factor. I only wish that it can be more moisturizing to the skin. I still felt that it can be a tad too drying on my face. It does not give me a comfortable moisturizing feel especially when my skin is parched.
My way of getting round this problem is to use Dermalogica Hydrating Booster before this day cream.
The day cream actually serve as a good all-in-one moisturizer, if you have normal skin.

However, I do not quite like the scent, I am not sure if its part of the plant extracts but thank goodness, its still bearable for me to continue using it.
The lotion comes across as a lightweight white liquid form with a slight oily base and is easy to spread on the face. Its not sticky and is pleasant to use.

Containing SPF20 with PA ++, its such a relief to know that other than less layering of products in the morning and giving good sunscreen protection, it also boasts of whitening capability.
But I still have confess that a pimple sprouted out on my chin after my first day of usage. I was surprised because I usually do not have such problems with oil-free products.
Anyway, I manage to soothe it with Clinique Deep Cleansing Emergency Masque and it subsided the next day.
Thereafter, my skin was pretty alright. No more pimples.
