pea size amount :)

I first tried this product a year ago. (when Dingdong Dantes and Piolo Pascual advertised this before) Haha! I just tried it once because I find it too light for my skin tone. It makes me look pale:) Boooo! Then last week, it caught my attention again when I was browsing for a facial wash in a grocery store. I bought it for P29.50-3pcs. ($.59-P50). Yeah, it's cheap.

Before using the lightening cream, I cleaned my face first using Pond's Facial Foam. I was surprised when I put it on my face already. It does lighten my skin tone a bit. It's not like before when I first tried it.

Pros:

• no greasy or heavy feeling
• it's cheap and affordable
• available in sachets (so you can try it first)
• it's effective for lightening
• it gives a pinkish-white glow to my skin (as what the product says)
• it has lycopene
  
• matte finished

Cons:

• it dries quickly
  
• it broke me out (not so sure about this one*)

*I don't know if it is because the hormonal changes. My period came after using the said product . I usually have pimples during my menstrual cycle. Booooo :(

Thanks for the time!
