Lancome Dream Tone Review

 This product has been the most disappointing product of 2014 next to l'Oreal Paris Magique Kajal.
But just because it didn't suit my skin ,it doesn't mean it won't suit you too.
Please remember that all skin care review on my blog is based on my personal experience and what suits me might not work for you and vice versa.

Application advice
Choose the right pigmentation profile for you: 
Pigmentation profile 1 – Fair skin tone (skin that has the tendency to feel sensitive under sun exposure)
Pigmentation profile 2 – Medium skin tone (skin that tans relatively easily under sun exposure)

To correct the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone, apply to clean skin day and night. To be applied over entire face or used as a dark spot treatment.
 PACKAGE-
This is one product that proves never judge a product by its cover.
Comes in a lovely pink red ombre triangular bottle.
The bottle looks too big for the quantity it holds ie approx 40 ml.
PRICE-Rs.6900
 MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE-
After 5 months of zit and flake free winter due to Innisfree Green Tea Seed Range(reviewed HERE and HERE), i got this for review from Lancome and was pretty excited to try it out.
Afterall its Lancome ,what could go wrong.
But after 1 week of using it -both day and night, i realised my skin was getting dry and flaky!!!! (in Spring!!!)
I also got 2-3 zits which freaked me out!
Initially i thought maybe the zits were due to PMS hormonal cause.
They refused to go away even after THAT time of the month .
After using this for nearly a month i decided to chuck this away blaming it to be the main culprit and my skin is back to normal now.
During the day time i used it (not anymore) as a base for make up.
Helps to spread the BB creams evenly.
The formula is gel like cream.
Light peach color with micro shimmers.
Doesn't feel greasy.
Gets absorbed readily.
Has a lovely and strong rose fragrance.
Claims to be paraben and sulphate free.

I got the shade no 1 which is to reduce redness.
Frankly i didn't see any reduction in the mild redness i have around my nose.
I feel like this product Overpromises and thats the main fault.
It did nothing to improve my skin texture,redness or dark spot reduction.
So sorry to say that this product is lying somewhere in a corner neglected by me.
Maybe i'll pass it on to my mom and see if it works for her.
HAVE YOU TRIED THIS PRODUCT?
HOW DID IT WORK FOR YOU?

  4. Oh....it's so disappointing when products meant to improve ur skin, make it worse. Lancome Visionnaire broke me out like craaaazzzzy! While i love Lancome makeup, it's skincare doesn't seem to suit me. However, I've been using the Genifique sample since a week and love it so far.

  12. The best thing about your blog is you having the balls to tell it like it is. Other bloggers just confuse by putting in sweet words for products that we can see from the photographs are doing nothing for their skin.
    I'll keep coming back for more say-it-like-it-is talk:)
