Hamdard Rogan Badam Shirin {Product Review}

Swathy · November 1, 2010 · 91 Comments

Okay, so I love this product. I came to know about this product through my friend. She advised me to use this oil for my hair when I was going through one of the worst phases of hair fall. My hair had thinned to an extent of alarm. Still it is not as thick as I want to be but, definitely, my hair quality is better. And, since I have started using this oil, it has stayed on my ‘must buy’ list. I am sure many of you would already be aware of this oil and its benefits. I do have certain complaints like I am not sure if the oil is cold pressed or organic. But, still, I can not get rid of it. I thought of writing about this product after reading about its review somewhere else. This has become so part of my life that I forgot about this completely.

The product does claim to do wonders to your brain and intellect along with relieving the muscle cramps and other pains in the body if taken internally. Well, I did take it internally (just two drops in milk every night). But, I was not very diligent in it so did not see the results. I shall try it again this Diwali and report back if I really see any difference. But, let me tell you, it tastes real bad. That was one of the main reasons I discontinued it. Anyways, regular application (twice a week) on hair made my hair soft and long. I also use it as body moisturizer too sometimes. It does feel raw in your hands (the oil is not soft to touch like the refined oils are soft to touch, if you know what I mean) so my guess is that it can be cold pressed or not completely refined. I am not even sure if they do have preservatives in the oil because it has a long shelf life (I forgot how exact and if it is just a year, I’ll edit this line). It is a great makeup remover. I am not a makeup user but I do use almond oil to remove the sunscreen (if you remember I had mentioned that you need to use a makeup remover for removing sunscreen too). It does not sting much if it gets into your eyes accidentally. You can also use it to smooth out your wrinkles or to make your own lip balm at home.
Cost: 25ml of bottle costs 75 INR which makes it pretty costly but it is the best almond oil I have come across and a small bottle does last long enough.

      yes, it helps with both – controlling hair fall and prevent tanning. apply it as hair oil and wash off your hair on alternate days. for tannning, wash your face in the evening and apply a drop of oil at night on your face and neck.

      actually i can not really say if it suits oily skin. oil applied on oil is not bad but some products can cause breakouts and such. also, if you are interested, i would suggest using grapeseed oil instead.

      hi Rose. the color of the baby can not be decided on the mother’s skin color. it is a genetic issue which gets embedded right when the baby starts developing. also the kids tend to change color as they grow so let her complete 5 years and then you can decide what to do. in the mean time, if you wish you can try this homemade soap which the indians use for their kids.
      https://swathyandsky.com/2010/03/use-sunnipindi-for-skin.html
      it makes the kid hairless and helps preserving her complexion.
      also, yes, you can use this oil to give her the traditional baby massage.

      and, reg. your skin, you have acne and you have open pores, right? for open pores, you really can not do anything. their size can increase but not decrease. and, for acne, apply tomato juice every night after washing your face, let it dry and wash off and follow with a light moisturizer or if you have aloevera gel, use it! and, do let me know how it goes.

      Hi, sorry for the late reply! as the doctor’s mentioned, the area is devoid of hair follicles so you can not grow hair over there and there is nothing you can do to grow hair follicles in the skin on the scar. That happens naturally so you can not grow hair there!

      hi Shobha. answering in order:
      1. Can I apply this Rogan oil n go out in sun? – I would not suggest oil application and exposure to sun. however, you can use this oil as a moisturizer or facial oil unless it is breaking you out. take just a drop or two and apply it on damp skin. follow with sunscreen.
      2. Will I become fair on daily application? – essentially, this oil is just vitamin E. it helps clearing the pigmentation on skin. it would not guarantee fairness. I would suggest you to use sunscreen diligently and cleanse your face at night to remove sunscreen, follow with a face wash and then use a serum and moisturizer. exfoliate once or twice a week using sugar. this will definitely help clear out your skin.
      3. How long it takes to show any results? – it takes minimum of 15 days or one month to see long term results. but, you should develop your own skin care routine if you want things to stay as they are otherwise the results hardly last a month or two.
      4. Well skin become darker on daily application as moisturizer? – no! if you find your skin getting darker, it is due to the lack of hydration. check this –
      https://swathyandsky.com/2015/01/dry-dehydrated-moisturized-hydrated-skin-care.html

      5.My body is darker compared to my face….. Will it be used as skin whitening on daily application – apply moisturizer everyday and make sure you hydrate your skin very well. you can mix almond oil drops into your moisturizer instead of just replying on either of them. exfoliate your body as well once or twice a week. use salt scrubs.
