Review : Lily's Touch Miracle Cream

I've seen this product being raved about on Facebook and since I've been using it for a few months now, I believe I would be able to give an HONEST REVIEW about it.

Deets are after the jump!

Lily's Touch Miracle Cream with Sunscreen

Size: 50 mL

Price: Regular price is Php 450.00 but I got it for Php 207.00

Where I Bought It: Shopee, seller: Lily's Touch Main Beauty Products, link: https://shopee.ph/shop/18499401/

What Is It?

It's a cream that is rich in whitening and anti-aging ingredients and promises to make the skin lighter, smoother and brighter in 7 days. It also contains sunscreen but the amount of SPF is not specified.

Packaging

It comes in a sturdy, and also bulky tub with a screw type cap that seals up tightly. Inside, there's another white plastic covering to further protect the product. For sanitary reasons I would much prefer a tube-type packaging since double dipping could easily contaminate the contents.

Written on the labels are the details of the product like the manufacturing and expiry dates and the batch code. It also has the ingredients list, storage and handling instructions, direction on how to use it and cautions.

List of Ingredients: Aqua, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Monostearate, Stearic Acid, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Titanium Dioside, Helianthus Annus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Zinc Oxide, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Polysorbate 80, Kojic Acid, Arbutin, Snail Secretion Filtrate, Emu Oil, Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E), DMDM Hydrantoin, Fragrance

Up Close

The Lily's Touch Miracle Cream has a whipped cream-like consistency.

Swatch

When applied, it leaves behind a white cast.

My Take

When you hear the word "miracle cream" you'd think it is the cream to end all creams. But does it really live up to its name? I'll break it down for you.

First photo is of me bare faced, and I have used the product for about 10 days. You can spot what my problem areas are: I have these tiny pimples on the forehead and scars all over my temples and my cheeks. Whitening is really the least bit of my concern.

Second photo is of me, after using the product for about two months. Although it's not very obvious in this photo, the tiny pimples on my forehead (yes, those that gave my forehead a rough look/texture) have been minimized. A few dark spots and acne marks on my cheeks have also disappeared. My skin lightened in general. But, you would also notice that I have new pimple scars on my forehead, while some of the older ones have lightened. 

Yes, it can make your skin lighter, brighter and smoother but in my experience, it took more than 7 days. It won't prevent zits from growing on your face, especially during that time of the month, but it helps in the healing process. It also helps in lightening dark pimple scars but like I said, not within 7 days. 

Another thing I want to discuss is the texture of the cream and how it feels when you're wearing it. It has a coconut-melon scent that really lingers. I personally am okay with the smell but I know some won't like it because it's really fragrant.

I've already mentioned that it leaves a white color on the skin. It's also not easily absorbed by the skin; think how some sunscreens just sit on top of your skin at first, the LTMC is much like that. Also, I know that the K-beauty craze is taking the world by storm and we'd want our skins to be looking/feeling fresh, soft, supple and bouncy. The LTMC won't give you that; it gives off more of a flat matte finish. In short, it doesn't feel like it's moisturizing enough.

Gosh! Did I cover all the aspects I wanted to discuss about this product. Let me rate it now. :)
