5. Biotique Bio Coconut Whitening & Brightening Cream
Features and Review
Biotique is a herbal skin and hair care brand. This Boutique Ayurvedic skin whitening cream has extra virgin coconut oil and other botanical extracts. This is one of the best fairness cream for dry skin for brightening and hydration but I will not recommend this to the oily combination skin types as it can be slightly comedogenic that means it can clog the pores. You can call it a product for the winters for dry skin because of its coconut extracts.
Recommended for: Dry to normal skin types
6. Fair & Lovely Multivitamin Fairness Cream with SPF 15
Features and Review
Fair & Lovely is by far the most popular skin cream in India wit SPF protection and I hope you will agree with me. This new version has a pump for easy usage and SPF 15 with multivitamins. I used this and it was good for everyday use. Just a tip for oily to combination skinned boys and girl, if you truly want fairness then other than using these skin whitening creams, you should also exfoliate the skin 2 times in a week. It will really make a positive difference in getting the glowing skin. For this, an Ayurvedic fairness cream version is also available that you can consider.
Recommended for: Oily to normal skin for daily usage
7. VLCC Snigdha Fairness Cream
Features and Review
This fairness cream from VLCC claims to give an even toned skin for a nice smooth face and also lightens the pigmentation on the skin. This is enriched with the Wild Turmeric, lemon peel, Mulberry and liquorice. Liquorice helps lighten the skin while turmeric and lemon peel improves the texture and fades marks. Mulberry reduces the melanin formation in the skin. It may not be a good choice for oily skin though. It is not a hydroquinone-free cream. They also have a night lightening cream, so you can complete the whitening regimen from the same brand.
Recommended for: Not for oily skin types
