Lakme 9 to 5 Insta Light Instant Glow Crème Review, Price & Buy Online India
I have always loved the innovative products Lakme often launches in the market. For instance, I have been a huge fan of Lakme’s Magic Souffle since my college days and I still keep coming back to it. And not to forget the Lakme CC Cream, if I may say so, the first ever CC Cream launched in India. Recently, the brand launched Lakme 9 to 5 Insta Light Instant Glow Crème at a fairly affordable price. Let’s see if it meets the expectations or not.

Texture
The milky pink cream feels smooth to touch and quickly transforms into powder like finish upon application. One needs to be really quick in blending the product into the skin or it might make the skin look ashy. This creme functions like a base product (BB cream or foundation) as it looks uneven if not blended properly but it does not provide any coverage.

Efficacy
Lakme 9 to 5 Insta Light Glow Creme makes the skin temporarily brighter (not glowing) looking as in the case of most fairness creams. On my combination skin, the cream clings to the dry patches and enhances the appearance of dry skin. I would say combination and dry skin girls can give this cream a miss. It does not moisturize the skin effectively as claimed.

It also claims to have sunscreen but the amount of SPF it contains is not mentioned so it is not suitable as a day cream on its own. What I absolutely loved about the Lakme 9 to 5 Insta Light Instant Glow Cream is the matte finish it gives to the skin. My T-Zone remains shine free for 6 hours easily and no powdering is required. I prefer using it below my foundation as a primer and this cream is ideal for oily skin girls who are constantly on a lookout for mattifying products.

HBM Rating
2.5 / 5(Reviewed by Lisha B.)Lakme 9 to 5 Insta Light Instant Glow Crème Review, Price & Buy India
HBM Recommendation: Lakme 9 to 5 Insta Light Instant Glow Crème would suit oily skin the most as it keeps the skin matte looking for long hours. But as claimed it does not provide instant glow instead it only makes the skin a little brighter. Lakme 9 to 5 Insta Light Instant Glow Crème is basically another fairness cream in the market. Not a winner from Lakme this time.

Even I have this, same views. Veblen effect u know, what to expect at this price.
I have this, ugh what a dud product it is :/
I was waiting to try out this product but it does not seem to do too good
I hate when creams dry off quickly without giving you time to blend... Also as far as my dry skin goes its better that I skip this one!
