[Review] Garnier Sakura White Pinkish Radiance Whitening Cream

Hi girl, 

You may know that I am still searching the best moisturizer for me. After using high-end product that work so so, I think it's time to try cheaper 'drugstore' product for my skin. My choice is Garnier Sakura White for my new moisturizer. I choose this product because the face wash is work great on my skin. Besides, my friend also using this product and work well on her. 

Garnier Sakura White Day Cream for Dry Skin

I only use the day cream because I already have the retinoid product as a night cream. That also the reason I need day cream with SPF and PA (UV Filters). Luckily, this day cream for dry skin has SPF 21 and PA+++. I think that is quite enough for me and sometimes I don't need to put on some additional sunscreen. I heard that the cream for oily skin is without UV Filters. This product also dermatology tested and suitable for sensitive skin. 

The tube

It says that this product is enriched with Japanese Sakura Extract and Whitening Vitamins (B3 and CG) nourish skin deeply and help lighten skin tone and dark spots, refine skin texture, and smoothen pores. After 4 weeks, the skin becomes 60% more pinkish radiant.

Texture

The consistency is cream. The color is pink. It has flowery fresh scent. I imagine that it's the scent of Sakura Flowers. It doesn't break my skin out. It also doesn't have oily effect.

How to use : 

Spread evenly on perfectly cleansed face and neck.

Result : 

I've been using this product almost every day for more than 4 months. Actually, I don't like the pinkish radiant effect. My skin tone is yellow. Imagine my yellow skin with pinkish radiant. Luckily, the pinkish radiant effect is not work on my yellow skin. I don't get pinkish radiant skin but  lightening yellow skin. Yep, I can say that my skin is more lightening. I also don't put additional sunscreen but I don't get burning after doing some activities outdoor. By the way, I already repurchase this product and my cream is almost run out right now.  

I like this product, but it's not my holy grail moisturizer. I'm still searching the best, but for now, I'm quite satisfied with this product. If only this product doesn't have pinkish radiance effect, I would love it. I still search the product that nourish my skin but doesn't give whitening effect.

What I like ; 

- Cheap.

- Easy to find (Available in nearby minimarket).

- Has SPF 21 and PA+++.

- Work quite well with my yellow tone skin.

What I don't like : 

- Pinkish radiant. T_T

Price : IDR 20,000 (USD 1.8) for 18 ml.

Repurchase : Yes, as long as I haven't found better moisturizer. This product is safe for my skin. 

Score : 8/10
