I've been using this together with the lotion for many years. The texture is smooth and spreads easily. As I mentioned in the lotion section, I felt like I was less likely to get blemishes when I used this, so I'm thinking of switching back to using it.
I liked the regular Curel, so I bought the anti-blemish and freckle type to try out. The packaging is a little more luxurious than the regular translucent bottle. It's comfortable to use, as you'd expect from Curel. I can use it with confidence even on days when my skin isn't in good condition. I'm not sure about the short-term effectiveness of the anti-blemish and freckle type, but it's an item I'd like to repurchase.
It's a refreshing type that's not sticky at all, yet it moisturizes and hydrates. It's perfect for people with slightly dry skin! I honestly don't know about the whitening effect, but I used it as a little preventative measure in the summer. However, for some reason, I felt that this whitening type had a stronger moisturizing effect than the regular Curel type, and I preferred it.
I've repurchased Curel's cream many times, but I tried this one because it had good reviews, and it was amazing! I also liked that it doesn't irritate my skin, yet contains whitening ingredients that are good for the skin. It doesn't leave any flaky residue. It's great to use in the morning before putting on makeup!
I bought this for the morning. I'm always in a rush in the morning, and I start makeup pretty quickly after my skincare routine, so creams tend to leave a sticky feeling, so I use a lotion instead. It's scentless, smooth, non-irritating, and doesn't interfere with my other skincare routines. It's perfect!
