Overall Experience:
This cream has become my favorite when I am about to go for a full coverage makeup and I know it is going to get shiny really quickly because with my kind of oily T-zone, no primer works for over an hour or two. But this cream goes full matte and disappears upon application. Above that, it does not leave any white cast and is really light on the skin. If I wear this cream alone, without putting any makeup on top, it keep my skin matte for good 4-5 hours which is just unbelievable. Literally no cream has ever done that!!! I have never seen my nose matte for over an hour or two, no kidding.
From my experience, I feel like once I start massaging the cream into my skin, it leaves a silky touch and feels like I have applied a really fine true translucent powder. Loving it!

Final Conclusion:
This is the part where I tell you if I have had any bad experience. Oh well, I wish there wasn't any but there we go. Since my skin is oily / combination, it is also pretty prone to black and white heads. And with all the humid, hot and haze-y weather in Malaysia, I get pretty good chance to get all the oil, dirt and God know what on my skin, every single day. And so, I love to try all the products designed for oily skin type.
I used this routine, day & night, as instructed. On forth day, my nose and cheeks area was flacky and my T-zone [no the sides which have normal skin type ] was uneven. I thought it might be due to lack of exfoliation so I gave myself a facial and tried to remove the blackheads because I wasn't seeing any progress on my blackheads and thought that it might be a good idea to get rid of them first so the product would keep them away upon continues use. I was scared to see that even cleansing, massage and steam didn't open my pores on my nose enough to get those blackheads out. I was even more freaked out when I saw that my skin still felt flacky.
I immediately stopped using this routine and switched back to my old routine using Eveline's White Prestige Day / Night Creams and Whitening Face Wash Gel. I gave myself two days to recover and kept my skin moisturized while also giving my brain to figure out what the heck just happened. What I figured was that these products are way more stronger for oily skin type. It did not irritate my normal skin area but dried the oily out of the T-zone. Then I went moderate; I used Pure Control Gel Wash just in the morning and used the Pure Control Moisturizing Cream while in the night, I use my other Whitening Face Wash Gel by Eveline and used White Prestige Night Creams to help my skin stay moisturized. I used toner about twice a week and also when I am wearing makeup during the day. Currently, my skin is baby soft, has a better texture, no breakouts and minimum blackheads which I managed to take out once my skin became moisturized after I switched to a different routine.
I would not say that these products are a failure but I believe that every skin type will react to them differently and you just have to find a routine that suits your skin type. My current routine is keeping my skin itch, blemish and breakout free. As far as my T-zone is concerned, it stays less shiny so the routine I am following is working pretty good for me.
These products are also really budget friendly but if you have oily skin type, better stay easy on the use and use them 2-3 times a day or however your skin would adjust to them. It is pretty normal for products which are designed to target oily-issues for the skin to sometimes dry the skin out or sometimes just oil the skin out just like the foundations made for oily skin type.
Do let me know if you have tried this range, would love to hear your experience.
