The two new variants from Belo, Face and Neck as well as Body Cream is an additional partner for their soap. I already reviewed the soap, if you want to read it, click this link here. All these samples were offered at Sample Room and that is why I was able to try it first.


PRODUCT REVIEW: BELO'S INTENSIVE WHITENING FACE AND NECK CREAM

I usually use serums or essence for my face because using creams for my face makes me feel warm and sticky. I am curious with this whitening cream though. I love their Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid Soap and this time they created a face and neck cream as well as a body cream. That is why I knew I have to test this.

As expected from Belo products, they really plan their items well. Their cream has a spatula included for a more hygienic ways of use.

Pros:

I love that it has a spatula needed because I can get the cream with the use of it then wash and sanitize the spatula before sealing the cream again. It also has a protective lid inside. The cream is rich and thick but still feels light on my face. It has a perfume like scent too that I love smelling it on me. 

My skin became hydrated with the use of this cream and I noticed that my skin evened out but the dark spots still remained. However, I observed that my skin has a slight glow while I was using this cream.

It has an SPF protection that gives an advantage that I can also use this cream during day time. There is a quick absorption when applied and no break outs noted. 

Cons: 

The tub is hard to open and close with its twisting ways. I do not know if it is just me but I am having a hard time twisting the cap off and on. 

The dark spots did not lighten my skin as I observed in the few weeks that I was using it. 

My face sometimes became oily while I was using this cream specially on a very heated days.

The cream is rich but lightweight and I does not feel sticky. The scent is great too. 

For an effective product, this is very affordable too.
