VILVAH DAY CREAM WITH SPF 20 REVIEW - HOW TO USE VILVAH DAY CREAM

Hi everyone.

I'm back with a product review. It's about a much hyped product from Vilvah. It's Vilvah day cream broad spectrum SPF 20 with natural radiance and lasting hydration.

Packaging -

It comes in a frosted glass packaging. It has a pump which dispenses minimum quantity and is easy to use. I love how this brand avoids secondary packaging. Aligning with their sustainability principle, they have attached information in a small tag avoiding an outer box for the product.

Ingredients -

Aqua, zinc oxide, caprylic capric triglyceride, glyceryl isostearate, polyhydroxy stearic acid, sucrose laurate, vegetable glycerine, glyceryl stearate, cetearyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract, Lilium candidum (white lily) oil, Euterpe oleracea fruit (acai) oil, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, xanthan gum, citric acid, CI 77491, CI77492, CI 77499.



Price -

The day cream retails for INR 890. The quantity of this is 40 ml. 

Product description -

As the label says, this day cream is a radiance booster, moisturizer and sunscreen all-in-one. It is rich in acai berry and green tea, with remarkable antioxidant properties which imparts instant brightness. It is eco ert certified mineral sunscreen which has a broad spectrum SPF 20 with both UVA and UVB protection. It prevents photo-ageing. The label says it provides medium coverage and can also be used as a primer for makeup.


Usage -

Label says - After cleansing your face, take a small dollop of day cream on your palm and dot your face with it. Then gently massage in an outward motion using your fingers. This can be used as a day cream or sunscreen or as an alternative to BB cream.

Formula -

The texture looks like a medium consistentcy cream. It had a light tint to it. When rubbed hardly on skin, it feels slightly rubbery hence you have to use light hands while applying this cream. It doesn't feel greasy on the skin. It gives slightly matte finish hence can be used when you are on the go where you don't have much time to get ready.

It has a very soothing fragrance which keeps lingering for some time. The pH of this cream is 6.8.


As a moisturizer -

This one can be used as a creamy moisturizer. It's light weight and hence works great for normal to oily skin. If yours is dry skin like mine, this one won't be sufficient hence you will have to use another moisturizer beneath this one according to your skin type.

This cream is rich with antioxidant properties. Acai berry revives and heals damaged skin. Green tea protects skin from photo-ageing. White lily makes skin supple and smooth. Zinc oxide is skin protectant and mineral sunscreen. Titanium dioxide brightens and evens out skin tone.

This cream helps to achieve a brighter looking skin instantly after applying. It restores skin's natural radiance since it's a triple action radiance booster.


Vilvah day cream also protects skin from trans-epidermal water loss (TWL) and maintains skin hydration level.



As a sunscreen -

This cream has SPF 20 with both UVA and UVB protection hence can be used as a sunscreen too. If you are using this as sunscreen, you will have to use this in more quantity rather than just applying cream. If you are staying indoors, traveling outside just for few minutes or when you won't be in direct sunlight, this can be used as sunscreen. If the sun exposure is more, you will need to have extra sun protection so apply a layer of another sunscreen with higher SPF since SPF 20 won't be sufficient. Vilvah uses ecocert approved and clinically proven zinc oxide for this day cream.


This formula is very suitable to apply over makeup. When you are wearing makeup and outside, you will have to reapply sunscreen after 3 hours. Take two to three pumps of it and dab it gently over the skin. You can use a beauty blender to apply this easily over makeup. It doesn't ruin your makeup or give any oily, greasy finish.

What I like the most about this cream as a sunscreen is it doesn't give any warm feeling to skin and doesn't make skin sweat easily. I sweat a lot when I apply sunscreen but this cream doesn't make it happen and I quite like it. Another plus point is you don't have to worry about white cast when you use this cream.



As a primer -

The slightly tacky texture of this makes it perfect to use as a primer. It makes skin feel soft and smooth. You can try mixing this with Vilvah aloe vera gel and use it as a primer. It helps makeup sit well and makeup and last it longer. Do not rub while applying this. Use light hands and dab the product on to the skin for a better finish.

As a BB cream -

You can easily skip your BB if you wear this. It gives light natural coverage which can be great for college and office wear. You can't substitute foundation or concealer with this since they coverage is not great. If you have oily skin, you can set this with a good coverage compact for better coverage and to have it on place. Even though my skin is dry, I like to use compact powder. Dabbing it lightly will be enough. If you go overboard, it will make your face look dry, dehydrated.

This cream makes skin look bright and works like an instant radiance booster. Best thing about this cream is it will last you long. You will require to use just a pump of it for entire face.
