My Experience
Biotique Bio Wheatgerm Firming Face & Body Cream Product Review at Perfect Skin Care for you
Its been an year since I have used it but when I thought of putting up its review, it was already summers so it wouldn’t have been of any use to anyone. So, I thought of deferring the review for these winters 🙂 And, do I need to say more that I waited for winters to put up the review?
Biotique as a brand I love but their ingredients list is always an issue. But, their products almost always work for me so I do think of going back to them. This is also one of the good ones. The texture of the product as you can see is pretty thick.

Yes, it is absolutely amazing for dry skin. In winters, it absolutely solves the dry patches problem. One needs to use a wee bit amount of the product and you are good to go. It does lighten the tan and pigmentation you might have. But, the best way to use it is as a hand cream.
It is thick so it keeps the hands soft and moisturized all winters. And, as I said, it also lightened the color of my hands. And, it kept my cuticles also in check. Yes, I have used it on my face also and totally liked it but yes, it can get a bit greasy so unless you have very dry skin, you can skip it.

Its also great for arms and legs and feet as well. Just as it keeps the hands soft, it keeps the feet moisturized and prevents cracking of the heels unless you torture them 😀 So, yup, go for it this winters, if you haven’t used it and I am sure you will love it as well 🙂 And, if you have used it, so share your views!

Vivel Active Essentials 3-in-1 Face Wash + Scrub {Product Review}

Swathy · October 17, 2012 · 14 Comments

Vivel Active Essentials face wash at Perfect Skin Care for you

Price: Rs 105 for 100ml

Pros
cleanses the face really well
jojoba beads provide mild exfoliation
Cons
not meant for all skin types even if it says all kind types
leaves my skin a bit dry sometimes
jojoba beads don’t get washed off properly
has SLS!!
My Experience

Vivel Active Essentials face wash at Perfect Skin Care for you

The product is a beautiful pearly blue in color with blue jojoba beads for exfoliation. The beads are not harsh on the skin but for me, the exfoliation wasn’t enough. It doesn’t help with the blackheads. The product last quite long, little being enough for every time. It lathers quite well and cleanses really well.

The face does look a bit brighter after using it. But, I do feel my skin is getting dry so probably it will suit only oily skin people and not dry. As I said earlier, my skin gets dry as the climate gets cooler, a drying face wash doesn’t exactly help!! I love the color of the product, the pale blue.
So, did you use it? Do share what you think about it!

Clean and Clear Fairness Cream {Product Review}

Swathy · October 5, 2012 · 4 Comments

Clean and Clear Fairness Cream at Perfect Skin Care for you
Price: Rs 120 for 40gms
Pros
controls oil admirably for entire day
leaves skin brighter and matte
gets absorbed really easily
Cons
doesn’t suit dry skin at all so stay away!! 
My Experience
The product is light pink in color and very thin in consistency and not at all heavy!! I would say this is a perfect cream for oily skin. Why? Because, it doesn’t let my skin get oily and yes, my skin feels a little stretched coz its actually dry combination and these days, my skin is not that oily. Had it been summers, it would have suited me perfectly.

Clean and Clear Fairness Cream at Perfect Skin Care for you

No, its not suitable for dry skin at all. Or, even if you spend a lot of time on AC, I would not suggest this for you. Regarding the fairness claims, I didn’t really find it do anything to my skin. But, yes, it probably did make my skin glow but I can’t be really sure. But, I did notice that my skin turns a little ashy when I apply more than two pea-size drops of products for my face and neck, one for each.
It does stand true to the claims of oil free so yes, when combined with its counter part face wash, its a perfect recipe to combat oily skin. It would have been great if the products had been launched during summers – quite a respite for oily skin types 🙂 Regarding its sunscreen and UV filter claims, I prefer to use a separate sunscreen.
