My take on Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Compact with SPF 23:

I have always been comfortable with Lakme when it comes to compact although there are better alternatives available. I have a combination skin which tends to break out and hence I prefer products which are light on my face and which don’t clog my pores. Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Compact with SPF 23 is a perfect compact for my skin. It is perfect for everyday use as it doesn’t give cakey looking appearance. It is light and blends well with the skin. As always, no product can be perfect to the core. This compact does not work that well in giving a pearly glow or doesn’t lighten the skin tone as Lakme claims. It does give a superficial appearance of fairer skin but that doesn’t last for longer duration. It gives a matte finish and helps to control oil throughout the day with repetitive application. It has SPF 23 which makes it comes back in the lead. So, even if you forget to apply your sunscreen (which you shouldn’t), you can just apply this compact and let the SPF in it do its work. All in all, it is a good compact for daily use and does add a few tones of whiteness to the complexion which is temporary.

Pros of Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Compact with SPF 23:

Cons of Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Compact with SPF 23:

• Does not give a pearly glow as the product claims but the whitening is rather superficial.
• Whiteness or fairer tone achieved by applying this compact does not last longer.
