Optimals White Oxygen Boost day cream by Oriflame Sweden Review


Foreword: 
Water and oil; two essential elements for a healthy, glowing skin. Moisturizing your skin  is all about  maintaining a perfect balance between the two, both internally and externally. Though moisturizing the skin is thought more of a thing of winters, it is equally important in summers for a couple of reasons.
Excessive sweating and frequent face and body wash in summers result in moisture lost from the skin. This moisture lost, with the added effects of sun exposure, usually leads to dull skin. To avoid this condition, one must not only increase the water intake but should also look for a moisturizer that may balance the moisture level in the skin. However, people with oily skin face the problem in finding a moisturizer that may balance the moisture and oil in their skin without giving a heavy oily feel/look to the face. 
In my sister's quest for a moisturizer that is good in hydration and is non-greasy, she got her hands on Optimals White Oxygen Boost day cream SPF 15 for oily skin by Oriflame Sweden. Did it work for her? Lets explore!

Product's claim: 
Urban pollution reduces the concentration of oxygen in the environment that is available for skin cells to use. The lack of oxygen means your skin cells do not function fully. As a result your skin becomes dull and grey. For a total refreshment to the skin, Oriflame researchers have developed the new Optimals Oxygen Boost formula, based on a combination of O2 active incorporated with the world exclusive patented technology LINGON 50:50TM.

This is the perfect range adapted to polluted skin in need of a breath of fresh air. This range of Optimals oxygen Boost, is specifically created for oily skin type providing the right level of hydration for a mattified skin.

Visible results:

  • Your skin looks brighter and lighter (97%)*
  • Your skin looks matte (86%)*
  • The oil on your skin is balanced (88%)*
* Consumer evaluation on 61 women with oily skin.

Review:
Oriflame Optimals White Oxygen Boost day cream comes in a sturdy glass container and carries 50 ml of the product. The packaging is quite attractive but not travel friendly.

The texture of the cream is JUST RIGHT. Neither creamy nor too runny which definitely makes application easy. A small quantity is enough for one time application. However, don't rub it too hard on the face as the cream may get off your face in a solid form. I hope it makes sense :)

The cream got a subtle cucumber-like smell which does not linger on for long.

My sister got an oily skin and she dreads summers as this season always leaves her skin dull and tanned. It's been two months that she is using it and is quite happy with the results. According to her, it does not feel heavy on the skin. She feels that it has improved the texture and complexion of her skin and I am a witness to this. No more dull and tanned skin for her and she definitely attributes this to this cream. The active ingredients and SPF in this cream did leave her skin light and bright.

I myself gave it a try and loved the way it hydrated my skin. Though in humid weather, it gives a shiny cast to the skin but this is natural for a hydrating cream.

So, for total skin refreshment, try to maintain perfect balance between water and oils in your skin. Consume a lot of water, moisturize your skin using Oriflame Optimals Oxygen Boost day cream (or any other good moisturizer) and stay beautiful. :)

I asked my sister if she is going to repurchase it, and she replied, "Yes!" She got this cream from www.just4girls.pk for 1399 PKR.
