The picture is taken from oriflame official site, I can't provide
pictures by my self, well I'm not good at taking photos and don't have a
good quality camera, sorry.
Don’t mind my bad English… just read it :)
My skin : oily-combi, sensitive, uneven skin tone, post-acne
blemished, sometimes looks a bit pale, skin tone tend to be darker because sun
exposure, medium tone (not fair one, not dark one either)
Packaging : In a clear glass jar,
u can see the amount of the product inside. It has a plastic cap in crème
color. U better take the product with a spatula and don’t dip ur finger inside
it to avoid bacterial contamination. It came in 50 ml jar.
Texture : medium consistency non sticky cream with white with bit mix of crème
color, easy absorbed, (supposed to be) non greasy, has little unpleasant chemical smell but soon
will fade away as u wear it.

On March 2012, I
bought it from my friend who became an oriflame consultant, she offered me 50%
discount from the real price so I only spent Rp.75.000 for 1 jar. The package
came in a carton box, and when I opened the jar, theres an alumunium foil
inside attached on the glass jar, quit hygienic I supposed. I noticed the smell, it was not a
pleasant smell, little disturbed me but it’s ok since it was not strong and
easy fade away. It contains Licorice and Rumex extract as skin lightening ingredients.
I took it with
spatula and applied it in a thin layer on my clean face. A little amount (bout
a pea size) is enough for entire face and neck. On the first application, I
felt this product is a bit too moist since I have super oily skin. I’m a type
of who doesn’t like to layer a lot of skincare/make up for daily routine. I knew that I could not wear it alone and just
put a face powder on it although my face powder has a good oil control. I put my
matte finish liquid foundation which has a good oil control then I finish it
with my oil control loose powder. It settled then. I used it along with
Oriflame Optimals Even Out Spot Concentrate 10 ml. So the order of my morning
daily routine is :
Milk Cleanser --> Facial Wash --> Toner --> Oriflame Even Out Dark Spot Fading Concentrate
--> Oriflame Even Out Day Cream spf
20 --> luminous liquid foundie --> luminous loose powder
For your info, I just recovered
from a terrible acne disaster. It’s been a month since my face has been calming
down. Because I still tend to breakout if I use compact powder or two way cake,
so I prefer loose powder and try not bother about the coverage. And I used
water based foundation that would not clog my pores although the foundation did
not have good coverage just for the oil control reason.
I
read many reviews and raves on the internet about this product before I decided
to buy it. Most of those review said that they used it twice a day, as day
cream and in the evening or used it as night cream and worked well on them.
They said it was ok to use it as night cream even it has spf, coz it would be
more effective if they used it twice a day. Well, my main reason buying it was
I wanted to get rid of my post-acne blemishes and lighten my skin tone that got
darkened by sun exposure from my outdoor activities. One week using it, I
noticed my skin became soft and supple, it smoothed the rough part of my skin
and keep it hydrated. After two weeks using it, I noticed my dark spots started
to fade and it lightened my skin tone. I realized that It is not an instant
lightening program for this product, I had to be patient. I used it twice a day,
in the morning and evening. Sometimes I used it at night before sleeping as
night cream, letting it on my skin all night long and wake up with shiny oily
face in the morning. I used it more amount in the evening/night than in the
morning.
I will continue
using it since it works for me and wait for the optimum result :) I’ll update on this
review :)
Pros :
- medium consistency non sticky texture
- easy absorbed
- has SPF in it
- still affordable price if u’re oriflame member n cheaper
if u buy it in a discount period
- keep my skin
hydrated
- soften rough part of my skin
- a little amount for entire face means a jar can go a long
way
- correct my pale skin to a healthier look
- even out my skin
tone, worth the price
- did not clog my pores
Cons :
- contains alcohol and perfume
- unpleasant smell
- tend to be greasy for oily skin
- tend to be greasy for oily skin
Repurchase : Maybe, if oriflame sell this again in a
discount
actually I want to look for a better product in the same
price range out there, which is not too moist for my oily skin, and more natural/organic, no alcohol n non perfumed, but
while I haven’t found any yet, I will stick to it :)
May like it if u :
- an oriflame member who looks for lightening cream in
affordable price
- those with dry/normal/combi who like to lighten up skin
tone or want to correct post acne blemishes
or other
pigmentation
- those who do not mind using product contains alcohol and
fragrance
May not like it if u :
- have super sensitive skin that wont tolerate alcohol and
fragrance
- have oily skin, this product is tend to be too moist and greasy for
those with oily skin
- want a product with oil control
Update 6 April 2012: Lately I found this product tend to be greasy on me. However it did work to lighten my blemishes although the stubborn ones might take longer time. I would not suggest this for oily skin since it would trigger more oil production in those who had oily skin like mine.
I could only use this in the evening (I don't mind to get oily in the evening when I just at home) since it really helped to reduce my blemishes/pigmentation, and I did not use this in the morning cuz it's too rich, tend to be greasy (shiny) and would ruin my make up complexion.
I would recommend this for those who have dry and normal skin.
I will keep update this review, so remember to check on me next time : )

Oriflame Cream has become quite popular among women going to the office. This same cream moisturizer, fusion and sunscreen all get together. It also works primer, skin treatment and congestion. oriflame Cream is called Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm. The application of this cream, while saving time, gets complete coverage. Most oriflame creams are made of hybronic acid and glycerin, which help in maintaining moisture and wrinkles in the skin.
