Sleek Makeup CC Cream, review (Note, manufacturer has discontinued production of this item)


Let's dive into the tale of Sleek CC Cream Medium—a product that marked a significant milestone in my skincare journey.


**A Light Touch on My Skin**


During the early days of my skincare exploration, Sleek CC Cream Medium made its grand entrance. As my first foray into tinted products, its lightweight formula left a lasting impression. While it didn't offer full coverage, its sheer nature suited my needs perfectly. What drew me in even more was the complete transparency about its ingredients, proudly listed on the bottle—a feature that holds immense importance for me.


**Shades and Coverage**


Sleek offered a modest range of four shades, with Medium standing as one of the darker options. Surprisingly, the limited shade range wasn't a deal-breaker, given the light-to-nothing coverage it provided.


**Complexion Corrector Extraordinaire**


Billed as a complexion corrector—whatever that entailed—this product promised to treat and conceal imperfections, boasting vitamin C and an SPF of 29. It seemed to check all the boxes for my skincare needs at the time, so naturally, I had to give it a try.


**A Jack-of-All-Trades**


What I loved most about Sleek CC Cream Medium was its versatility. One product was all it took to tackle various skincare tasks. Plus, it was non-comedogenic, ensuring it wouldn't trigger any unwanted breakouts. And let's not forget the reasonable price tag—a win-win all around.


**The Discontinuation Dilemma**


Sadly, every good thing must come to an end. In 2018, Sleek Makeup dropped the bombshell on Twitter: the CC Cream was being discontinued. While the reason for its demise remained murky on the manufacturer's website, Sleek suggested their Vitality Foundation as a worthy alternative—promising similar lightweight coverage and blurring properties.


**In Conclusion**


For acne-prone skin like mine, Sleek CC Cream Medium was a true gem, offering a spectrum of skincare benefits tailored to my evolving needs. However, as time passed, its light coverage and slightly lower SPF fell short of my expectations. Though its discontinuation left a void, the memories of its skincare prowess linger on.

Otentika Maxitone Fade Cream Review of Side Effects

Image
Let's dive into my first encounter with the Otentika skincare line. It all started with a recommendation whispered to me through the grapevine. Initially, I dipped my toes into the Otentika pool with their Maxitone fade cream, housed in a charming pink container. The beauty guru at the shop swore by the "pink Otentika," claiming it had worked wonders on her own dark complexion. Intrigued, I figured, why not give it a shot? After all, my skin was pretty average, so the "normal skin" label on the pink Otentika seemed like a match. I didn't rush into using the product right away. Instead, I waited a week before diving in. The first few days felt pretty standard, except for the cream's unique texture—firm, yet oddly satisfying, with no overwhelming scent to speak of. Then, about a week in, something magical happened. My skin felt firmer, smoother, and not just on my face—everywhere. I even dared to hope that some of my pesky dark spots were fading, though it...

Let me share my journey with Skin Light, a product encased in white packaging with an eye-catching orange screw cap, weighing in at 500 grams. **A Blast from the Past** Reflecting on my encounter with this product over 15 years ago, it's surprising how little information I could dig up, especially about the manufacturer or its ingredients—a definite cause for concern. **From Novice to Knowledgeable** Back then, I was a skincare novice, much like many others navigating the vast world of skincare. Let's be honest, who has the time or inclination to scrutinize every ingredient list unless you have a specific reason to? **Lessons Learned the Hard Way** Had I possessed the knowledge I do now about skincare chemicals, I would've steered clear of products like Skin Light. Unfortunately, I had to learn the hard way. Initially, its brightening and spot-clearing effects seemed like a miracle. It's almost addictive when you start seeing results—until the adverse effects rear their...
