Review: Vichy Laboratoires Bi White Reveal Night Cream

October 8, 2009 Paris B 25 Comments

The new Vichy Bi-White Reveal Night Double Corrective Whitening Cream is targeted at those who want something to help with pigmentation. Here’s where I raise both hands. Me! Me! I have a pigmentation problem that needs addressing!

vichy biwhite reveal

The Vichy Bi-White range of products has been around for a while, but this night cream is new. I’d run out of whitening skincare so it was a good time to try out this night cream.

The texture of the Vichy Bi-White Night Cream is light. I’m obsessed with light textured creams lately. They suit more skin types than oil based creams. Because it is so light, it sinks right into my skin so I have to use the 5-dot method to apply the cream as opposed to my usual method for applying moisturizer.

I have one gripe. Upon opening the tub, your nose is hit with the scent. Not floral, not unpleasant, but a pretty strong sharp scent nonetheless. Do make sure you take a healthy sniff at the counter before you run out and buy it.

Another gripe is with the shape of the tub. It tapers down so its top heavy and its glass. It doesn’t topple over – the designers were cleverer than that! But it makes it hard to store when you have other bottles jostling for space.

The biggest question you’re asking I know, is – Does it reveal lighter whiter skin?

You know, it just might.

I’d been using this for about 1 month only at night since this is a night cream. I tried peering at my pigmentation spots to see if they were any lighter but it was imperceptible so I gave up looking but continued using it. However, about 3 weeks into using it, my Mum whom I had not seen in that time commented on the fact that my freckles and pigmentation was looking lighter and my skin was looking a little brighter. That got me running to peer in the mirror but I couldn’t really notice it. Its hard to notice small changes  when you look at yourself everyday as I’m sure many will agree.

vichy-biwhite

So with that, I’d hazard a guess that the Vichy Bi-White Reveal Night Cream does work to a degree. It will not turn you into Snow White and neither will it lighten your skin to the point of transclucency nor will it get rid of any pigmentation spots you presently have. However, it will place it under control and perhaps make it look slightly less obvious. You’d need more than 3 weeks to see a result which I prefer – anything that whitens or lightens too quickly scares me.

One more gripe: My skin felt a little dry when using this cream. The cream contains thermal spa water as do all Vichy products. But I personally felt that this night cream did not quite keep my skin as hydrated as it should. Its not drying me out, but neither did it make my skin feel plump and supple. Do note that I have slightly dry skin on my cheeks so that might be the reason.

Used only at night, this 50ml tub can last ages! It retails at all Vichy counters for RM99 which I think is a fair price since it does work to a degree.

Pros: Lightens pigmentation gradually, Light texture suits most skin types

Cons: Felt a little drying, Shape of tub makes it difficult to store, Scent is quite strong

Do also note that when you use whitening/lightening products whether in the day or night, you MUST always use sunscreen in the day. It is not optional.

Do you feel you have a pigmentation problem that needs addressing? Have you taken a look at this one or have you tried it?

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

      Hi Reese

      You’re most welcome. It does work though if you can get past the scent 🙂

    I was really interested in this one… until you mentioned that this is a little drying, which is definitely a nono for my thirsty skin! 🙁

    I have freckles… and i’m doing everything i can to prevent them from getting worse! So far so good with the Lancome Neurowhite range!! That, and lots of sunblock! haha! 😀

      Hi Jenn

      Haha… Its not drying per se. Just doesn’t give me all the hydration I might need since its night and air-cond room and all. I have to 2nd the use lots of sunblock as prevention but I haven’t tried the Neurowhite range yet 🙂

    Oh yes! *Raises Hand*.

    In fact, I use both Paul and Joe Whitening Serum AND Fair and Lovely Anti-Marks Fairness Cream, and the combination works well for me…that and the SK-II Signs cream and SPF 90+!

      Hey Jamilla

      You’re doing good with your regime! We actually have Fair and Lovely here but I’m a little too afraid of their 14 day whitening deal. Which SPF90 sunscreen do you use?

      Hi Winnie

      Ah I’d read about pregnancy hormones that cause problems like this. I also read its harder to get rid of those. Glad you’ve found something that works.

    Not sure it really works or not because the sample I got is only enough for 2 applies..>.<

    Dear ParisB,

    Would I be able to buy this item and get it delivered to New Zealand? I am dying to get it, but I can’t seem to find a website that can sell it to me.

    ;(

    Thank you

      Hi Laura, I’m sorry I can’t oblige. I’m not sure if there are ebay or auction sites that will ship to New Zealand. If I come across one I’ll be sure to update my comment here.

    Hi,
    I was wondering if you can help me out on this product although your review was done quite a long while ago. You mentioned about the “scent”? Does it smell like a floral scent gone slightly bad? A while back I bought this on a “buy 1, free 1” promo but had only just recently used it. The scent is pretty strong and not really in a very nice way. I was wondering if there is something wrong with the one I bought although it still has quite a while to go before its expiry date.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am using Bi-white reveal Night. Can you suggest me which cleanser should I use with this product in night or only the face wash is enough? One thing I want to mention, Since i use this product some time some small pimples come on my face.

    Thanks!

      If you feel the product breaks you out you may want to stop using and see if it gets better. As for face cleanser, I’m not sure I detest and your question but anywhere is no specific face wash/cleanser to be paired with this.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
