VLCC Mud Face Pack all skin type SKIN DEFENSE review


Face packs are always good for every skin type. As I have oily skin which tends to go extremes during summers :( these packs help keeping the oiliness under control, I tend to use them once in a week. while I visited a store I spotted this one and it mentioned mud pack which are said to be great for oily skin. This brand is very popular due to natural ingredients and it is a very unique mud face pack and I love using it quite frequently.

Rs215 for 70g


Product Description

This unique formulation enriched with Kaolin, Turmeric Extract and Mint Oil cleanses deep seated impurities and toxins and helps remove excess oil from the skin making it spotless and beautiful. It also helps to improve blood circulation that tightens and brightens the skin.

Method of Use

Apply on clean face and neck, a thick layer of this mask, avoiding eye and mouth area. When dry, wipe off with sponge and water.

Ingredients

Kaolinum (Kaolin) 12%, Garric (Red Earth) 20%, Zincum (Zinc Oxide) 1.75%, Prunus Amygdalus Oil (Almond Oil) 3%, Mentha Piperita (Mint Oil) 1.5%, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower Oil) 3%, Cucuma Longa (Turmeric Ext)5%, Acacia Arabica (Gum Acacia) 6%, Cream Base Q.S.

My Review

The pack comes in a attractive white plastic bottle with a secure lid to prevent any product leakage. Although the packaging is good but the mouth of the bottle is quite narrow and hence there will be difficulty removing the product when it will come to an end. The pack is ready to use which is a relief for many as it is hassle free.


The pack inside looks almost like a foundation .It has a medium thick smooth and creamy mousse like consistency which spreads very easily. You can apply a thin or a thick layer as per your preference and it feels cooling on application. But it has a strong ayurvedic sandalwood fragrance, which was quite annoying the first time but will be a turn off for many especially for people with sensitive noses, but after using it a few times u get hold of it. And also only key ingredients list is mentioned.

After applying the face pack it dries quickly within 8-15 minutes depending on how thick you apply. It comes of easily with water. It leaves my skin feeling very soft, smooth and supple and balances it really well and skin stays same for a day. Even though I have oily skin majority of the mud masks leave my skin feeling dry and I have to follow up with a moisturizer, but not with this one. It takes away excess oil without drying my skin at all and my skin feels very smooth to touch and hence I feel it is suitable for all skin types year round. It did not irritate my skin. After removing it my skin felt very clean and bright and the brightness lasted for a few hours, just like the regular face packs.

Pros

Dries quickly
Makes skin very smooth and soft
Balances out skin really well
Suitable for all skin types
Ready to use, and easy to wash
The consistency is perfect it spreads easily
Does not dry out skin
Brightens up the face

Cons

The brightening effect is temporary
Has a strong fragrance

Will I repurchase it?

yes i will as this product really absorbs oil and brighten up skin.. i recommend it to everyone.

Winters are the only time where I can try creams or moisturizers on my face otherwise my skin is so oily that I can’t use any of these. So utilizing this weather I picked up this product because it said “whitening”

Rs. 99 for 50g

Directions for use 

Apply to clean face and neck with upward/outward strokes until absorbed. Concentrate on areas to be lightened. Use 2 times a day for 2 weeks to boost skins fairness. Continue use for best results.

My Experience

The product comes in a squeezy, plastic white tube with a green flip-open cap. The consistency is medium, not thick and not running just right!! It spreads and gets absorbed in my skin very well without leaving any traces of stickiness or white cast. It leaves skin well hydrated, super soft and smooth. It smells all herbal predominantly of  Neem. The cream did not break me out at all. Coming to the claims, it fulfills some but misses out on some.  It did not diminish my scars or pigmentation as such after almost 2 weeks of usage. But yes, It instantly brightens up the face and makes skin tone appear more even.  So, I like it as a day cream. Sensitive skin types can use this as it is totally chemical free. This should suit all skin types barring the super oily skin type. I have a oily skin and have not experienced any bothersome oiliness with this cream.  However, one sad part is that this cream doesn’t have any SPF so, there is no skipping the sunscreen.

Pros


  • Cheap as compare to others
  • Easily available in supermarket and online
  • good for daily use
  • Did not break me out
  • Natural ingredients

Cons

Does not work on acne scars and pigmentation.

Will I repurchase?

I will not buy it again as did nothing to my skin texture.

My Review

Biotique's Bio Milk Baby Cream is a thick cream and has that sweet smell that is so good. I just take a coin amount of the cream and apply it on my hands and face. It needs a little massage for the skin to absorb the cream completely. My skin feels soft and supple for the entire day. The results are long lasting when compared to the Baby Lotion and I am super glad that it helps.

The Bio Milk Cream comes in a simple light green colored tube. This is more convenient to use than the bottle.
