Today I’m up with a summer skincare product for oily skin. With all the heat and sweat, most of us tend to love lightweight and hydrating products.

My take on Suganda White Lotus Moisturizer:

Packaging: Suganda White Lotus Moisturizer comes in a brown glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The bottle is quite lightweight and is prone to breakage if mishandled. However glass packaging is environment friendly and is better than plastic packaging. The bottle has necessary details about the product mentioned on it.

Color & Texture: Suganda White Lotus Moisturizer is a white colored, thin gel based moisturizer that melts into a translucent water like product into the skin. It has a very nice and light texture that will be loved by oily skin types.

Fragrance: Suganda White Lotus Moisturizer has a fresh fragrance of essential oils. The fragrance is medium light and does not linger once the product is absorbed into the skin.

Experience: My skin type is combination with dry cheeks at the moment. I’ve been using this twice a day. I use one or two pumps for each use. The gel has a slight damp/sticky feel while applying but then it dries down to a matte finish in a few seconds. Since this is a very lightweight product, this alone is not moisturizing enough for my skin. I use a moisturizing sunscreen on top of this during day time and I use this as a serum step in my night time routine. In that way, it works better for me.

After I started using this regularly, I noticed my overall skin to be brighter than before. Note that I always use a sunscreen. I believe that for any brightening product to retain its effectiveness, a sunscreen is a must. The product is also helping to fade away my fresh acne marks faster.

I have acne prone skin and during the usage of this product, I experienced tiny zit breakouts twice. Both the times were when I used this as a standalone product. When used in conjunction with other hydrating and moisturizing products, this doesn’t break me out. I also experienced a mild irritation once when my skin was reactive & sensitive. People with acne prone, sensitive, reactive and damaged skin barrier should use this with caution. Patch test is recommended since it has potent active ingredients.

Overall, for my combination skin, this works as a nice brightening serum, rather than a moisturizer. It visibly brightens skin and shows improvement in skin texture, acne marks and plumpness over regular usage.

Pros:

• Contains a great set of ingredients.
• Lightweight, fast absorbing texture.
• Gives a non greasy, matte finish.
• Perfect for very oily skin and the summers.
• Visibly brightens skin.
• Helps to fades away fresh acne marks.
• Oil Free, Paraben Free & Silicone Free.
• Cruelty-Free.

Cons:

• May not suit sensitive & severely acne prone skin.

Rating: 4.3/5

Would I recommend? Yes. If you are looking for a lightweight moisturizer for your oily skin, then give it a try. Dry skin types can use this as a serum. It has got great ingredients & it’s cruelty free as well.
