Forest Essentials Soundarya Advanced Serum {Product Review}

Swathy · February 9, 2015 · 1 Comment

Forest Essentials Soundarya Advanced Serum for anti-aging skin care Product Review

Lets not call this a review because it has been almost a year since I have finished the product! I was looking through the blog photographs for product reviews when I came across these snaps. Since I have never seen any review of this product, I thought I would at least do a quickie mention of it.

This is the most expensive product I have bought till date and that was only because it was my wedding and I could indulge in a bit of luxury. I always had an eye on this product. Well, it says it has gold so who will not be interested, right?
And, did I receive any compliments when I used it? I guess yes when I had just started using it but then I was drinking coconut water also that time 😀 Now, did the gold in the product do anything for my skin? Well, I am really not sure about that neither do I think the gold displayed any anti-aging properties!

Ingredients

Forest Essentials Soundarya Advanced Serum for anti-aging skin care Product Review

The pic is a little darker so here is the transcript!

Cold Pressed Sesame Oil (40%), Clarified Ghee (18%), Sweet Almond Oil (16%), Cow’s Milk (9.2%), Liquorice (4%), Shirish (3%), Vansh (3%), Turmeric (2%), Saffron (1.5%), Sandalwood Essential Oil (1%), Ashwagandha (1%), Methi (1%), 24 Karat Gold Bhasma (0.3%)

  • Price: Rs 2750 for 25ml (very expensive!)
  • Availability: Online on various websites, Forest Essentials Stores and Outlets
  • Packaging: Very elegant but actually it is plastic. I would have preferred a glass packaging.
  • Fragrance: Had the fragrance of the product bothered me, I would have surely remembered it! So, I guess it might have been fine.
  • Texture: As you can see in the pic, the serum is not really dense. It does not leave behind that oily feeling.

Usage and Results

Now I do not really remember all the details.
One to two pumps of the product is enough to cover the face and neck. Because of the expense, you would obviously be judicious in using the product. Also, any more can get oily, depending on your skin type! I do not remember whether it is enough to moisturise your skin.
The results are not visible immediately but yes the skin gets plumper. The effects on the aging lines and fine lines might take sometime to show. My skin did look glowing in the initial days of using the product but I am not very sure how long it lasted though!

My Verdict

What I remember thinking was that it is more of a luxurious buy. But, honestly said, that would not deter me from buying the product again, if I have the dough to spare. For now, I am contending myself by finishing the products in my over-flowing shelf!

Have you used this product? How did you like it? Does the gold in the serum sound interesting to you? Would you like to try the product? Do share your views in the comments below!

A new product on the block – a Preview!

L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfect product preview

So, last month, I was sent this really chic package with couple of products for different age groups. It is a basically a customized skin care line for different age groups depending on their skin quality and needs. And, first impressions are last impressions. The packaging is very interesting!

Who used the products?

Yes, I shall keep the products as a surprise for you all to guess. But, we can start with what we felt in the initial usage. I used one age group product and gave Mr. P the other one. And, the last one I gave to my dad!

How did we feel?

So, let me say that Mr. P loved the product. He says it brings a glow on the face and yes it does! This stands true for both the products we tried.

My dad has not yet got back with his opinion because he looks more for wrinkle removal than the even tone and fairness part. But, yup, even his face did glow 😀

So, I shall return with the entire product review sometime next week. Till then, keep guessing which product is it?? Do share in the comments below!
