At the moment, I am a 34 year old acne prone adult who is on
the lookout for the perfect moisturizer. Those of you who have acne all your
lives know that this is no small feat. In fact, the search is almost next to
impossible. I am currently on my second year of throwing away nearly full
moisturizer products that did nothing but break me out or clog my pores. So I’m
pretty much excited to try Nworld’s Nlighten Cloud cream. I’ve seen the results
from people who have used it so I open my first bottle with very high hopes.
According to the box description, this moisturizer promises
to brighten the skin, correct skin tone, limit the over production of melanin,
reduce the sign of aging and protect from UVA and UVB sun damage with its SPF
20++. The main active ingredient is supposed to be the extracts of white rice
and white milk protein. It is also formulated without paraben, benzophenone,
triethanolamine, talc, petrolatum, mineral oil, synthetic pigments and SLS. This is a good thing for people who are
allergic to these ingredients. There is a Korean bit of handwriting because the
moisturizer is manufactured and formulated in korea, the haven of Asian skin
care products.
The list of ingredients doesn’t look so promising since
there are so many hard to pronounce scientific names. But in my skin care
journey to find the perfect moisturizer, I learned not to judge the list of
ingredients without the results. I have tried a lot of natural skin care
products which broke me out, clogged my pores or at the least did nothing for my
skin. Sometimes you will never know what works for you until you have actually
tried the product. Nlighten cloud cream moisturizer contains Titanium dioxide
probably for its spf, glycerin for hydration, niacinamide for anti-aging, and
skin tone correctors such as lactic acid, milk protein extract and white rice
extract. The other ingredients I will have to google to find out their purpose.
Nlighten cloud cream comes with a very impressive packaging.
The moisturizer is contained in a very heavy transparent glass jar. You know
that just by looking at it that this is a very expensive product. Good
packaging does not necessarily translate to effectivity but the odds
are in your favour. The net weight of the moisturizer is 30 grams. It includes
a small, transparent and sturdy spatula for hygienic
application since the container is a tub instead of a tube. A product seal can
be found upon opening the jar. I advise you to keep this seal since it can stop
the moisturizer from spilling over to the very absorbent cover in case you turn
the jar upside down especially during travels.
The moisturize itself has a mousse like appearance. It looks
aerated aptly fitting the name cloud cream. During the first opening, you will
find a little bit of liquid which is separated from the mousse moisturizer. The
seller advised me to use the tiny spatula and mix the liquid with the mousse
before the first product application on the face. The product doesn’t look much
which got me quite worried since Nlighten Cloud cream doesn’t come cheap.
But my worries were for nothing because it was formulated in
such a way that a little really goes a long long way. ¼ spatula of the product
can cover the face because it spreads so easily. The texture of the moisturizer
is very light and it applies virtually weightless on the face. You absolutely,
truly and really do not feel anything on top of your skin. This is contrary to
other moisturizers which advertises as light and oil free yet still feels like
a mask after application. It almost feels like you applied water in a mousse
form. The moisturizer goes on translucent white once spread on the skin. This is
quite disconcerting because it is not in vogue to look like a geisha or a ghost
but don’t worry because after a few minutes, the product will sink in and the
white finish will disappear.
The moisturizer instantly but subtly brightens my skin complexion. My skin feels and looks hydrated without the oil slick which I was accustomed to when wearing a moisturizer. I look illuminated from within. This could actually replace highlighters in make-up application if your goal is to only glow in person. I have no idea if it works the same during a photoshoot. My facial skin also felt comfortably stretched and tightened. I imagine this is how a gentle botox would feel like. Upon closer inspection of my face, my pores look more refined probably because of the tightening effects of the moisturizer. The pore and fine line disappearance also allowed for an easier and seamless application of my powder foundation. The moisturizer works like a primer so the foundation did not sit on the pores and the fine lines. My foundation now looks and feels like skin.

It is too soon to tell if this is going to be my perfect moisturizer
but my first impression of the product is excellent. What I love most about the
Nlighten Cloud cream is the weightlessness. It is as light as air and applies
like water. You just get glowing and hydrated skin without the greasiness or
the heaviness that comes with other moisturizers. I also love its primer like
qualities that lessens the steps in my make-up routine. As for the other promises of more even skin
tone and diminished fine lines, I would have to use the product a little bit
longer to see the results clearly.
Will I repurchase? Stay tuned for my part 2 review of the
Nlighten Cloud cream!
Ciao!

posts were reactions and first impressions I had about the product when I was
still first a user. These impressions eventually convinced me to join the
Nworld family because I finally met a product which I passionately and truly
believed to be effective.**
