THE PRODUCT(S):
Papulex Oil Free Cream: Papulex Oil Free Cream helps reduce skin blemishes and control oil. Contains moisturisers to hydrate and protect the skin plus special mattifying agents to help skin stay shine-free. Apply to affected areas after cleansing morning and night.
The oil free cream surprisingly smells nothing like the cleansing gel, and it is definitely true to what it claimed, that it is oil free.
VERDICT: The scent of this oil free cream is surprisingly nothing like it's counterpart, the cleansing gel. It actually smells pretty normal, like what regular facial cream is supposed to. In short, it is nothing surprising and yet it neither borders on nauseousness too. In fact, if you were to present me the oil free cream without letting me know what brand it is, I'd probably thought it's a regular facial cream.
The texture and consistency of the cream is actually slightly creamy without feeling and looking heavy, unlike what I've expected. I find that it spreads on my skin pretty decently, without too much fuss and it gets absorbed into my skin rather well too. I've tried other supposedly "oil free" cream and most times, it looks and feels light but ended up not being exactly "oil-free" as it claimed to be. For example, my skin looking so oily and shiny, which made me wonder how exactly "oil-free" does it claimed to be.
And despite hours after application of this "oil-free" cream, I am glad to say that my skin doesn't look oily nor shiny due to excess sebum. Which I personally find rather surprising, as most oil-free cream only ended up making my skin looked like I've taken a dip in a pool of sebum. Yep, that is exactly how I felt when I encountered facial cream that promises but never quite delivers.
And as mentioned in the previous cleansing gel review, this oil-free cream didn't exactly help to clear off old and new blemish. In fact, I still see my blemish scars as visibly as though I only got the blemish hours ago. And in short, I think this brand is probably using photoshop of some sort, since most of their testimonial photos tend to look slightly hazy and blurry while the claims are reputedly "I am blemish free thanks to Papulex".
VERDICT: ✓✓
WHAT I THINK: Slightly hazy and blurry testimonial photos that claims a product works isn't really going to convince me it's a good product. Consumers aren't stupid to believe something without trying something out. This is definitely not a product that helps clear off blemishes, as far as my skin can attest to. In short, I have more doubts regarding this product than ever after seeing their "testimonial photos".
