pros:

- helps as a primer

- gives a somewhat whitening effect

- you don't need to apply much, and there's a lot of product inside

- evens out skin tone a little (due to the whitening effect)

cons:

- thick creme, somewhat hard to spread on skin

- can leave white marks, if not spread evenly

- my skin can look a bit too oily/shiny

- if you keep massaging in the creme, it will come off in in little bits (it looks like dead skin cells, but I noticed I was rubbing of the creme)
