Continuous exposure of our skin to stress, harsh sunlight and high levels of pollution, makes it dull, dark & pigmented. So a good bleach is required, which revives the glow instantly. Today I am going to review OxyLife Crème Bleach by Dabur.

My opinion about this Product:
Oxy Bleach comes with a "Pre Bleach Cream" which is said to contain Glycerin and Vitamin E extracts. We know that bleaching is always harsh on skin, so this cream is for conditioning the skin such that it becomes suitable for people with sensitive skin. Texture wise this is a thick cream and made my skin a tad oily and sticky. A little amount of cream spreads over a large area and needs good blending.
Crème Bleach
This creme is the one that supposedly releases oxygen on reaction with the powder activator to bring some life to the otherwise lifeless skin. It comes in a pot thrice the size of the powder activator and contains enough material to cover one's face, neck and arms. The creme is initially white in colour. On adding the powder activator it takes a pale blue colour.
Powder Activator
It's a tiny tub filled with a blue-ish amorphous powder. The moment you open the cap, you'll be greeted with a pungent odour. It contains persulphates which is supposed to release oxygen on contact with the hydrogen peroxide creme supplied.
Apart form these, this kit comes with a spatula and a booklet which makes the usage of the bleach hassle free. On the booklet all necessary information regarding the product is provided. Also it is mentioned how long should one wear it on his skin.
I am fairly satisfied with the bleach. It does remove tanning effectively and you can notice a spot on difference. It did not irritate my skin at all! I kept this product on for 15 minutes or so. It made the hair colour pale enough to blend in with my skin tone. I can notice " ♥♥ glow full of life ♥♥ ", like it claims. Very good bleach for women with sensitive skin.
