Kiehl’s Vitamin C Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate Serum

Vitamin C along with hyaluronic acid has become the latest trending skin care ingredient. Kiehl’s Vitamin C is one of the products in the market with 10% vitamin C concentration. Vitamin C is great at reducing pigmentation, induces collagen production, protects skin from sun rays, fight breakouts, exfoliating the skin and improving the hydration levels of skin to a certain extent. It is applied before sunscreen to boost the protection and in the night to improve skin quality. If used alone, Vitamin C serums are drying in nature so they do control oil production as well.

Never apply vitamin C serums on damp skin. Vitamin C gets neutralized on contact with water. It must be the first product to go on your skin.

Kiehl’s Vitamin C Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate Serum

Price : Rs 5000 for 30ml

Yes, very expensive but it lasted for me at least 3-4 months easily using two pumps once a day and I am still left with one third of the bottle. Kiehl’s Vitamin C is yellowish in color and a bit drying to touch but I found that it can be used alone as well. It has hyaluronic acid so it hydrates as well. The feel of the serum is a little papery and does not require a lot of blending in. Apply in dots and just pat it all over. It makes my skin a little dewy but controls the oil production and shine to a little extent. Applying this makes it easy for me to use a little more sunscreen.

Beauty Products I would love to Repurchase

Are you a brand loyalist or you like to try out new products? If you ask me, the moment I get to know about a new brand or hear a rave, I want to try out all of their ranges which tempt me. But, then, over the years, I did come across a few products which I would like to repurchase or have either repurchased. So, here is my list of those products.

1. L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil – This featured in my luxury products list and I absolutely love it! I took almost a year and half to finish the bottle I got and I am in love with it. I want it again and I would definitely love to try out the other shower oils with the brand as well.

2. L’Occitane Shea Body Corps – After falling in love with almond shower oil, I had to try another bestseller from them. I am still half way on the first tub and this is amazing. I am not sure how well it will do for summers but for winters, this is the one I want. A disappointing fact about this product is that it is very medicinal, like betnovate ointment but I like it anyhow.

I never really had a very good experience with any of face washes I have used except ones from Neutrogena. So, I keep trying out the new products. This ponds anti-pollution face wash came into the market long back under the name of deep cleansing facial foam. I have been using this product on and off and I really like it. So, yes to this face wash before you even read the review.

Pond’s Anti-Pollution Face Wash with Activated Charcoal Review

Price : Rs 200 for 100 gms

Ponds anti-pollution face wash is grey in color and a bit thick in texture. It lathers well but can get a little drying sometimes so using it when you need a thorough deep cleansing or after a very long and tiring day is a good idea. It is absolutely perfect for normal, combination and oily skin. Dry skin people can see how well it suits them. I have dry skin and I do love using this, especially in summers, humid weather and during travel.
