Today I will be reviewing the ORIFLAME Pure Nature , Purifying Face Cream (Tea Tree & Rosemary Oil). Before I start , let me help you know me and my skin type better .. 

I have the kind of skin that needs  a lot of attention and care .. and if I try to escape the end result is as always breakouts , zits, acne , blemishes etc etc .. I have oily to combination skin where my T-zone is oily and if you have been following my blogs then you must be already aware that I had been struggling with acne and its after effects. If you are also struggling with acne then you may also want to read Tea Tree Essential Oil review - Holy Grail for Acne Prone Skin !!

Now , when I say after effects , it refers to the dark spots and pigmentation that every zit leaves behind as a sad memory of acne existence ! ..

So I have been trying on few products to get an even tone and reduce the pigmentation here and there .. I was willing to try TheBodyShop (TBS) products initially but kind of backed off after seeing the price tag.My search for an apt product ended with 
ORIFLAME Pure Nature , Purifying Face Cream (Tea Tree & Rosemary Oil).

 How to Use this Product? :

Oriflame Sweden

I usually start off with cleaning my face with a face wash , followed by a toner of the same range , then take steam with few drops of the tea tree oil in a steamer , pat dry my face and then apply the face cream (You may skip the steam part , but try to follow the face wash and toner part). Take a very small amount , not more than a pea size amount on your palm and apply on your face in small upward circular motions.Remember to avoid downward strokes else it will make your skin saggy and increase wrinkles in the long run , so always try to do small circular upward motions to make your skin tight and firm.A small quantity of the cream spreads evenly on the skin.
I usually prefer using it as the first cream in my skin routine , followed by other products like sunscreen on top.

My Experience with this face cream : 

I have been using this cream as day and night cream , for the past 3 months now and the tumbler is almost empty , that's why I thought that it was the right time to talk about this product and review it.

This cream actually works, if used religiously.The aim of it is reducing the dark spots and making the skin more purer and it does that job well.After using for about 1 and a half month I started noticing that the patchy areas seemed more toned and the dark spots had reduced.The cream is very light and absorbs really quick even on the huge acne bumps.

It does not moisturize my skin so well , but I was anyways not using this as moisturizer.If you are on a look out for something to work on blemishes/pigmented skin then this one is the right choice to try out.

How much does it Cost? !! :

75gm is for INR 379/- and it is available at Oriflame (You can check with Oriflame consultant) and on Amazon

What Did I like about this product ?:

• Its a very light weight , Hydrating , non-greasy face cream.
• It helped me in reducing the dark spots , blemishes , redness and get even tone.
• It has goodness of tea tree and rosemary oil.
• Gets absorbed well.
• Fragrance is mild.
• Suitable for oily to combination skin.
• Can be used as hair serum / leave in conditioner when used in small quantities.
• Relatively less pricey as other similar products available in teh market.

What did I dislike about this product?:

• It's not travel friendly , since its a tumbler , the product flows here and there if the lid is not tightly closed.
• Putting your finger in the tumbler to take the product out is not hygienic (specially for acne prone skin) so you need to use a spatula for each and every usage.
• It gives mild tingles , some may find that irritating.
• If you are someone who has very sensitive skin , then I suggest doing a patch test on you skin first.

Final Take & Rating !! : 

I think it was a good experience using this cream , it helped me with most of the problematic areas and best part was there were no new breakouts on my skin.I think its a good face cream to start the "fixing" process of your skin at initial phases and later on you can move on to some higher end products for re-balancing your skin.

Rating would be : 4/5 (-1 for bad packaging)
