Moisturex Emollient, Humectant and Keratolytic Cream {Product Review}

Swathy · November 19, 2011 · 82 Comments

Ok, so this is something new for most of you, if not all. I wanted to talk about the cream which my mom has been using faithfully since the past 15 years and which keeps her skin fabulous. And, I have been using this cream for the past 15-20 days and I thought it would be good to share this product with you all as it is a perfect moisturizer for winters.

Price: Rs 200 for 75gms (I am guessing but it should be around that)
Ingredients

 

My Experience

Moisturex is recommended for the above skin problems
It is a medicated cream and had been recommended by a doctor to my mom (don’t remember for what reason but my stuck to it coz it suited her). Now, a little bit about the cream. It is a thin consistency cream but its very very moisturizing so I would recommend it only for dry skin and mature skin and those who live in colder climates. It makes the skin oily when in humid or tropical climate. So, I am using it now a days to combat the weather and protect my skin.
And, this cream is awesome. It keeps my skin moisturized the entire day and keeps it looking supple and hydrated. This is something which I have never seen any other moisturizer do. To some extent, I’ll give Liz Earle moisturizer a benefit of doubt but otherwise, it is great!!! And, not very expensive either. And, it lasts ages, trust me!!! Since its so creamy, you need to apply a very very thin layer and I apply it in dots and rub it into the skin. If applied properly, it also makes the skin appear a little dewy and it doesn’t let the skin dry out at all so if you are suffering from broken skin or extremely dry patches, this is a cream which you should give a try.
Regarding my mom’s skin, her skin still looks flawless and its supple and so soft, seriously coz this cream makes the skin extremely soft. I think the credit of that goes to the ingredients – lactic acid and urea, both of which are supposed to be great for skin. So, give it a try 🙂
My Recommendation
I would definitely ask you to give it a try. Would be especially great for mature skin.

Biotique Bio Honey Gel {Product Review}

Swathy · November 18, 2011 · 10 Comments

In my quest for a natural or herbal face wash, this was one of my tries. So, lets see how it went?

Price: Rs 149 for 120ml
Ingredients

 

My Experience

The USP of this product for me was the absence of SLS. The cleanser is pink in color as you can see and has an artificial fragrance. The consistency of the product is like a gel – neither too runny nor too thick. Now, how it cleanses? I have noticed that it cleanses the face very well and keeps the skin really soft. It doesn’t cause your skin to dry out but you do need moisturizer afterwards. The major advantage is that it does help keep the blackheads at bay.

Now, a major disadvantage of the product is that it leaves a film behind and the skin feels slippery when you are trying to wash off the face wash which takes a lot of time to get rid of and wastes a lot of water too. Warm water does a better job at washing off the face wash. Otherwise, it is a really good product.

Now, I do not think I noticed any lightening of the complexion so nothing on those grounds. And, it doesn’t leak while traveling even though it has a wide mouth but it does make more quantity come out of the bottle which is very irritating.

My Recommendation
If you do not mind the slippery feeling, it is definitely a must try!!!

Nivea Repair and Protection {Product Review}

Swathy · November 17, 2011 · 2 Comments

Price: Rs 140 (approx) for 4.8gms

Ingredients

 

My Experience
I needed an un-tinted lip balm for regular usage so I got this one.So, did I really like it? Well, I would say that it does protect the lips from sun. This one comes with spf 15. So, that’s a plus. But, I don’t really understand the claims of strengthening the lips so I shall limit the claims to repairing and protecting the lips especially sensitive lips.First of all, I would say that it is hard to apply on the lips and doesn’t glide as easily as other Nivea lip balms. And, regarding the moisturization, I thought that it does keep lips soft but it stays on the lips and the lips feel heavy which is a very irritating in case of lip balms. And, I didn’t really think it stays for too long too. So, as far as my experience is, I am not very happy with this one. I would say that the Hydrocare from Nivea is better than this one.

I have just put my experience in front of you and I leave the decision on you now 🙂Also read other review from the same brand:
