Cream

Creams in Pakistan for acne, dark spots and uneven tone. A cream is the step that holds everything in place — it keeps actives against the skin for hours rather than minutes, which is why the treatment creams below are applied at night and the sunscreen every morning.

• Neoliva SPF 60 Sunscreen Cream — the step that makes every other one hold

Frequently asked questions

Do fairness creams change your natural skin colour?
No, and any cream that claims to should be avoided. What they do is reduce tan, dark spots and dullness so skin returns to its own best tone.

How do I know a cream is steroid free?
A full ingredient list, a batch number and an expiry date printed on the pack. A cream that brightens dramatically within a week almost always contains a steroid or mercury.

Night cream or day cream — does it matter?
Yes. Treatment creams go on at night when skin repairs and there is no UV to undo the work. Mornings are for moisturiser and sunscreen.
