Collection: Buy Day Creams in Pakistan

Day Cream Price in Pakistan — Highfy

Seven day creams, starting at Rs. 944 and going up to Rs. 4,299. All 50g except the L'Oreal, which is 50ml. Estelin appears three times at the same Rs. 1,449 price with different active ingredients — that's actually the most useful distinction on this page, since ingredient choice matters far more than brand loyalty when you're buying a day cream.

The L'Oreal Revitalift at Rs. 4,299 for 50ml comes to Rs. 85.98/ml — nearly five times the per-gram cost of Chirs's Whitening. Whether the anti-aging retinol and collagen chemistry justifies that gap is the central question for anyone shopping above Rs. 2,000 here.

The Budget Picks — Rs. 944 to Rs. 1,099

Chirs's Whitening Day Cream — Rs. 944 for 50g

Local brand, Rs. 18.88/g. Sold across Daraz and smaller pharmacy counters in Karachi.

The whitening claim depends on the formula's brightening agents — typically niacinamide or kojic acid at low concentrations. Hard to say if it's enough to produce a visible result without knowing the exact percentage, and the label doesn't specify. Results vary quite a bit from one skin type to another. At Rs. 944, you're paying slightly more per gram than the Dr Rashel option below for a vaguer ingredient promise. Not the strongest pick in this range.

Dr Rashel White Skin Whitening Fairness Day Cream — Rs. 1,099 for 50g

Rs. 21.98/g. Better-known brand than Chirs's, wider retail presence.

Dr Rashel has consistent stock on Highfy.pk and at Imtiaz Beauty counters. The fairness range relies on a similar whitening-agent combination but with stronger brand accountability than a generic local label. For Rs. 155 more than Chirs's, you're getting a slightly more credible formula story and better after-sales if you have a problem. For everyday brightening moisture under SPF, it does the job properly. Caveat: the fragrance is noticeable — patch test if you have reactive skin.

The Estelin Range — Three Formulas, Same Price

Estelin Hyaluronic Acid (Rs. 1,349), Niacinamide (Rs. 1,449), and Collagen (Rs. 1,449) — all 50g. The first question shouldn't be 'which brand' but 'which active ingredient do you actually need.'

Estelin Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating & Vitalizing Day Cream — Rs. 1,349 for 50g

For dry or dehydrated skin. Rs. 26.98/g — modest step up from Dr Rashel.

Hyaluronic acid as a humectant draws moisture into the skin rather than sealing it in — good for daytime use when you need lightweight hydration. In Karachi's humid months, this formula won't feel heavy, which is probably its main advantage. The Vitalizing addition is likely a vitamin-derived glow booster. Whether it's worth Rs. 250 more than Dr Rashel depends on whether your skin actually needs that extra moisture pull — for dry types, yes. For combination or oily, the niacinamide version below is a better fit.

Estelin Niacinamide Fade Spots & Whitening Day Cream — Rs. 1,449 for 50g

Best Estelin option for most skin types in Pakistan.

Niacinamide at meaningful concentrations (typically 5%) helps regulate sebum, fade post-acne marks, and improve skin barrier function over 8–12 weeks of consistent use. And it's well-tolerated by most skin types — fewer sensitivity issues than AHAs or retinol. For anyone dealing with the cycle of Lahore sun exposure followed by breakout marks, this is quite decent for the price. At Rs. 1,449 for 50g (Rs. 28.98/g), it's not the cheapest per gram but the ingredient is genuinely useful.

POND's and VLCC — Mid-Range Options

Ponds Age Miracle Wrinkle Corrector Day Cream — Rs. 1,599 for 50g

Rs. 31.98/g. Anti-aging positioned, uses retinol and CLA technology.

Ponds Age Miracle is one of the more established anti-aging day creams available at Naheed and Imtiaz nationwide. The retinol content is low compared to prescription alternatives, but it's appropriate for daytime use — high-strength retinol in a day cream without SPF protection can cause issues in Pakistani summer UV. If you're 35+ and want a basic wrinkle-preventive moisturiser below Rs. 2,000, this is worth picking up. Pair it with SPF 30 every morning without exception.

VLCC Vitamin C Day Cream — Rs. 1,889

No size listed on this product page — confirm with the seller before ordering if per-gram value matters.

VLCC has solid availability at Chase Up and larger pharmacy sections in Lahore. The Vitamin C formula overlaps with Dr Rashel's category but at Rs. 790 more. Hard to say if the VLCC formulation is meaningfully different without lab analysis — the brand positions slightly higher than Dr Rashel in terms of professional salon-adjacent credibility. If you've used VLCC products before and seen results, it's worth considering. If you're buying Vitamin C day cream for the first time, start with Dr Rashel at Rs. 1,099 instead.

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Classic Day Cream — Rs. 4,299 for 50ml

Most expensive on this page. Rs. 85.98/ml.

L'Oreal Revitalift uses Pro-Retinol and Centella Asiatica for anti-aging — this is a genuine step up in formula quality over the budget options. The sebaceous regulation from the retinol component shows measurable results on fine lines over 8–10 weeks, and the texture is light enough for Pakistan's summer heat. But Rs. 4,299 for 50ml is a significant commitment, and you'd need to be consistent about SPF every morning since retinol increases photosensitivity. For buyers above 38 who want a real anti-aging formula without going prescription, this is the right call from this collection. For everyone else, the Ponds Age Miracle at Rs. 1,599 covers similar ground at less than half the price.

Which Day Cream to Buy

Everyday moisturiser — Dr Rashel White Skin at Rs. 1,099 does what a day cream needs to do, available everywhere, well-formulated for the price.

Active ingredient targeting — Estelin Niacinamide at Rs. 1,449 for anyone with oily skin or post-acne marks; Estelin Hyaluronic Acid at Rs. 1,349 for dry or dehydrated skin. You don't need both — pick based on your skin's primary complaint.

Anti-aging — L'Oreal Revitalift at Rs. 4,299 if you're serious about it and you'll commit to SPF daily. POND's Age Miracle at Rs. 1,599 if you want something in the category without the Rs. 4,000 spend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which is the best affordable day cream in Pakistan under Rs. 1,500?

A: Dr Rashel White Skin Whitening Fairness Day Cream at Rs. 1,099 for 50g offers the best balance of brand reliability, ingredient story, and price in this range. At Rs. 21.98/g, it's not the cheapest per gram (Chirs's Whitening at Rs. 944 is), but the Dr Rashel brand has better availability at Imtiaz counters and more consistent formulation across batches. Estelin Hyaluronic Acid at Rs. 1,349 is a good alternative if your skin is dry or dehydrated.

Q: Is L'Oreal Revitalift worth the price in Pakistan?

A: At Rs. 4,299 for 50ml (Rs. 85.98/ml), it's the most expensive option in this collection. The Pro-Retinol and Centella Asiatica formula is genuinely more sophisticated than the budget options, and results on fine lines are typically visible after 8–10 weeks of consistent use. It's worth picking up if you're 35+ and committed to a consistent skincare routine that includes SPF 30 every morning. Without the sunscreen step, retinol-based day creams can cause sensitivity issues in Pakistan's high-UV months.

Q: What's the difference between the three Estelin day creams?

A: The Estelin range offers three formulas at similar price points: Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating & Vitalizing (Rs. 1,349) for dry or dehydrated skin; Niacinamide Fade Spots & Whitening (Rs. 1,449) for oily, acne-prone, or post-acne mark concerns; and Bouncy & Firm Collagen (Rs. 1,449) for skin laxity or anti-aging focus. All are 50g and available on Highfy.pk. Choose based on your primary skin concern rather than buying multiple — they're designed for different problems, not to be layered together.
