Himalaya Clear Complexion Whitening Day Cream - Product Review

Hey Lovelies !  

Welcome back .. Hope you guys are doing well .. !!

Are you someone who is always running late in the morning and there is hardly anytime to layer your face with moisturizers , bb/cc creams , foundation etc ?

Well I am totally of that sorts .. most of my mornings are either lazy or I am running late for office .. So I was on a hunt of a face cream that could somehow reduce my "getting ready for office" time .. and I found the Himalaya Clear Complexion Whitening Day Cream.. 

I sort of have some faith in this brand as I have been using it's products from a very long time now .. So getting this one seemed the right thing to do  .. and i believe this is their newly launched cream so I anyways had to try it out .. 

Himalaya Clear Complexion Whitening Day Cream

To know more about my experience with this day cream , keep on reading !! 

What Product claims :

Himalaya’s Clear Complexion Whitening Day Cream gives a radiant glow and brighter skin tone. Our day cream is light and non-greasy, enriched with unique herbal extracts and CINNABLO to provide three effective actions:

• Hydrates skin
• Lightens skin tone
• Clears complexion

The breakthrough herbal sunblock CINNABLO  provides UV protection and prevents skin darkening.

Brand & Product Details : !

The Himalaya Drug Company was founded with a clear vision to bring Ayurveda to society in a contemporary form and to unravel the mystery behind the 5,000 year old system of medicine. This included referring to ancient ayurvedic texts, selecting indigenous herbs and subjecting the formulations to modern pharmacological, toxicological and safety tests to create new drugs and therapies and products.They use minimal chemicals and have wide range of products available in organic formulations.

Key Ingredients :

Licorice is known to help lighten skin and fade dark spots and blemishes, to give your skin a brighter complexion by inhibiting melanin synthesis.

White Dammer is a rich source of flavonoids and phenols which exhibit potent antioxidant activity. It helps reduce mild pigmentation and spots, resulting in an even skin tone.

Packaging :

• It comes in a matte finished glass tumbler with a green plastic cap , housed in a red and white cardboard box with details mentioned about the product (shown in the image above) .
• The matte finish of the tumbler gives it a classy look and overall attractive packaging.
• However for someone like me who is very careless with handling delicate things and keep dropping them , this packaging is rather risky and I don't find it travel friendly.  
• There comes another white cap inside to help the product from spilling out , but again I find it very inconvenient for a fact that half of the product sticks onto that cap .. Irritating !! 

 Texture :

• The cream is thick ,soft , beige colored , doesn't leave any white cast on the skin.
• Texture is very smooth and glides on perfectly on the skin.
• It takes only a pea size amount for face and neck , and gets absorbed easily.
• It's not sticky and completely gets absorbed without leaving any oily traces.

My Take on this ..! 

I have been using this one since 3 weeks now as a day cream twice a day & haven't bothered to use any foundation or CC/BB creams .. All I do is .. use this twice a day after face clean up and set this with any face powder or compaq and that's it ..

It doesn't give any coverage like a BB/CC cream , it is indeed a simple face moisturiser sorts.. , it doesn't leave any oily traces on my face and get absorbed very quick.

Now coming to the point if it really works to get lighten skin and fade dark spots and blemishes, to give your skin a brighter complexion by inhibiting melanin synthesis...Well  I haven't observed any dramatic change in my spots or pigmentation or blemishes , marks etc.. i had been suffering from acne issue and my skin has many marks so may be it will take some time to show some significant change and I just have to be patient.. 

However ... The ingredients seemed quite promising though so I am wondering if it takes more time to work onto the problem areas than I anticipated.It also has CINNABLO which provides UV protection and prevents skin darkening.

It is quite moisturising and the texture is very smooth and gets absorbed in no time so It is good for everyday use , so that's what I am using it for.

How much does it Cost? !! :

50ml costs INR 250/- .. Buy Here !!

What Did I like about this product ?:

• Quite Moisturising.
• It doesn't have any harmful or harsh  ingredients.
• CINNABLO  provides UV protection and prevents skin darkening.
• Smooth textured and sinks in the skin in no time.
• Doesn't cast any white cast on the skin post application.
• No new breakout or zits after using this.
• You get decent amount of product for the price you pay and it lasts for almost 3-4 months.
• Affordable.
• Good for everyday basis.

What did I dislike about this product:

• Glass tumbler packaging is not so travel friendly.
• Didn't work dramatically on my skin for lightening the skin or blemishes or dark spots..That may take some time to show some better results

Recommended to use ?? 

Yes , For everyday face moisturizer this is a good option , and it gets absorbed in no time and leaves the skin soft and supple.

Final Take & Rating !! : 

Rating would be : 3.5/5

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub - Product Review

Hi Friends !! 

As mentioned in my last blog .. I will be reviewing my exfoliating products one by one in my upcoming blogs .. One of them being Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub .I usually prefer using it on my face and neck ...
The product claims that it is specially formulated to give you clear, problem-free skin, this scrub works with a dual exfoliation and purifying action. Neem, well-known for its purifying and antibacterial properties, kills problem-causing bacteria. Combined with exfoliating Apricot granules, it gently scrubs away blackheads, dead skin cells and embedded impurities, leaving your skin, soft, clear, refreshed and problem-free.

Without any further ado let's get started with the product review! 

Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub

Which Brand is it ?? : 

The Himalaya Drug Company was founded with a clear vision to bring Ayurveda to society in a contemporary form and to unravel the mystery behind the 5,000 year old system of medicine. This included referring to ancient ayurvedic texts, selecting indigenous herbs and subjecting the formulations to modern pharmacological, toxicological and safety tests to create new drugs and therapies and products.They use minimal chemicals and have wide range of products available in organic formulations.

 Neem is an excellent skin care ingredient known for its antibacterial properties. It improves general skin health and immunity, combating bacterial infections such as acne, boils and ulcers. Neem tackles bacteria from the root and prevents the recurrence of pimples and blemishes. 

Apricot granules gently exfoliate dead skin cells, to bring out your skin's natural glow

How does it Look and smell like ?: 

• This comes in a typical white tube like all most of the other products of Himalaya range with a green colored flip cap.
• On opening the flip cap you will see a medium sized nozzle to dispense the product (refer to the image shown above).
• The scrub is a white , cream-like based consistency with small but visible green and beige colored granules of neem and apricot which do the real work of exfoliation.
• It spreads well and evenly.
• There is detailing on the tube regarding the product and its usage.
• It has a mild fragrance.
• 2 pea size product is enough to cover neck and face.
• Packaging is sturdy and travel friendly.

 How to use this product ? :

I usually use face wash first , considering that my skin is oily , if you have dry or normal skin you may use it directly, seeing the creamy consistency I was a little skeptical of whether it will be able to remove the gunk or not ..so I used face wash , you basically need to moisten the face , take about 2 pea sized quantity on your hands and massage all over face and neck , avoiding the delicate eye area. Gently massage in upward circular motion for good 1-2 minutes depending on how much u want to exfoliate ..don't over do it .. let the small granules work on your skin and let the product work on your skin for another 1-2 minutes .Wash off and pat dry. I mostly don't find the need to moisturise my face after this , again this depends on individual's skin type... cos the formula is creamy.However no new breakouts occurred on my face after using it.

Key Ingredients :

Primarily Neem and Apricot.

Details and Contents 

How much does it Cost? !! :

100gm comes for INR 130/- and it is available at   Amazon Himalaya Store and Nykaa.com .

What Did I like about this product ?:

• It is the most efficient and inexpensive way of exfoliating face  and neck .
• Removes impurities and dead skin cells. 
• It cleanses excess oil from the skin's surface, which is the root cause of acne. 
• The scrub is blended with the goodness of Neem, which clears blackheads and acne, and Apricot, which hydrates the skin. The natural ingredients cleanse, nourish and moisturize your skin to make it soft, fresh and radiant.
• It helped me getting smooth skin.
• Travel friendly.
• Neat and sturdy Packaging.
• Inexpensive as compared to the quality you get.
• One tube , if used twice a week goes upto 3 months.

What did I dislike about this product:

• I felt that the consistency could have been more thicker and with more saturated exfoliating beads so as to give a better result.however the current consistency is also workable.
• Also the beads should have been a little bit more granulated , the bigger beads are sometimes difficult to work on the skin. 

Recommended to use?

Yes , I feel for a price like that it's worth a try.I may consider repurchasing it , as my tube is already over.

Final Take and Rating !! 

I could say that this scrub does its primary job of  exfoliating the skin by removing dead skins with apricot granules and with the goodness of neem to prevent acne.After using this I ended up having a smooth skin and it's rather inexpensive as compared to most of the other scrubs out there in the market.No new breakouts or zits so its safe to be used.

Rating would be : 4/5
