Olay White Radiance CC Cream Moisturizer w/ SPF 15 in Light

Hey there guys. TGIF! It has been a rainy week so going out is limited to necessities. The wet weather also means cold, and consequently, my skin feels rather dry than usual. I have revamped my skincare and makeup routine to suit the change of weather and have been using products that provide more moisture to my skin.

I have rummaged through my foundation/BB cream / CC cream stash and re-discovered this one. I have only used this once or twice before because I have remembered how I didn't like how this can be rather oily on my skin. With the drier weather, I decided to give this one another chance.

This CC Cream Moisturizer comes in just two shades: Light and Medium. I bought this through Luxola (now Sephora) last year and I've actually not seen this being sold locally except online on Lazada and Zalora. Mind you, this retails around Php 1900+ (I bought this on sale) which I think is very expensive for what it is.

Being classified as a "moisturizer" is really significant here since I don't think this provide decent coverage. I will say that this is kind of a "tinted moisturizer" with the CC cream label thrown in the mix as a marketing ploy, though the SPF could be higher if it should function as such. As you can see from the tube, there's a white cream intertwined with a beige cream. I would assumed the white cream functions as a moisturizer while the beige as foundation to provide coverage.

This has a watery, runny formula. I do like the lightweight texture as it's easily absorbed by the skin. This is also very moisturizing, to the point of being a bit oily I apply too much. Due to the sheer formula, coverage is very light. It won't be able to cover any dark circles, pimple spots nor blemishes. On the other hand, it was able to smooth and even my complexion and reduce the appearance of redness. It also added a "glow" to my skin.

 Longevity is below average. It only lasted around two hours before it started to break down. I didn't actually see patches on my skin but it looked dull and lifeless after the 2-hour mark.
