Lotus Herbals White Glow Skin Whitening And Brightening Gel Cream Product Review

Lotus Herbals is a leading brand of herbal cosmetics in India. They offer a huge selection of efficient skin care products. Especially their sunscreens are a big hit with girls with acne-prone skin. They have different ranges in skincare categories that focus on specific skin conditions. This White Glow range aims to lighten and whiten the skin, while Youth Rx targets aging skin. I purchased this Lotus Herbals White Glow Cream because it is a popular and top-selling product on Amazon. I didn’t want to “whiten” my skin, though.

Product Description:

Unique gel + cream formula

White Glow Skin Whitening & Brightening Gel Crème is an innovative formula from Lotus Herbals that brightens, whitens, and brightens the skin. It has a unique “Gel + Cream” texture that absorbs quickly and deeply nourishes.

Infused with the goodness of saxifrage and milk enzymes. This cream contains saxifrage extract, which reduces dark spots and blemishes, and milk enzymes penetrate deep into the skin, giving it a shiny natural glow.

Lightweight Non-sticky texture
A light cream that absorbs quickly and penetrates deep into the skin.
Sun protection with SPF 25
This cream protects the skin from strong UVA and UVB rays.
Reduce dark spots
This cream penetrates deep into the skin and fades dark spots and blemishes.
Brilliant natural shine
Flawless natural shine with regular use.
Recyclable packaging
Cruelty-free
All skin types

Ingredients:

Grape extract (VITIS VINIFERA), mulberry extract (triter pennies, phenylflavones), milk enzyme, saxifrage extract (epigallocatechin)

Key Ingredients:

Grape Extract: Grape seed extract increases cell turnover and collagen synthesis, helping skin stay elastic and healthy. If used regularly, beauty and skin care products containing grape seed extract can even out skin tone and treat acne breakouts thanks to anthocyanidins’ antioxidant and microbial properties.

Mulberry extract:

Lightens dark spots and skin discoloration.
Improves the appearance of uneven skin tones.
Helps protect the skin from environmental factors.
Hydrates and nourishes the skin.
Reduces the signs of premature aging.
Creates a beautiful, radiant, and glowing complexion.

Saxifraga Extract: Acts as an antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental free radicals. The extract also has astringent qualities, temporarily toning and firming the skin while reducing excess sebum.

Price: ₹215 for 40g.

HOW DOES THIS FIT INTO MY DAY?

STEP 1:

A coin’s worth of “White Glow Facial Cleanser” should be applied to your fingertips. Spend a few minutes gently cleansing your neck and face in round strokes. Wash it in cold water.

2ND STEP:

Now place two or three serum drops on your fingertips. Gently rub the serum in circular motions into the skin.

STEP 3:

Now use a small amount of “White Glow Gel Cream” to replenish skin cells. Apply all over the face and neck in circular motions to hydrate and give a final finish.

Lotus Herbals White Glow Cream Review

Packaging: I got the 40g one in a glass jar. I love the elegant look of the white frosted glass jar. Additionally, it is encased in a white cardboard box with extensive product details. All of the packagings surely gives off a luxury product vibe. Look at! Although the glass jar is not travel-friendly and I have to wet my fingers in it every time, lately I prefer these eco-friendly containers to plastic tubes. So that’s not a big drawback for me. However, they have a smaller plastic tube if you still want a travel version.

Color and texture: I was disappointed to see its texture. It is not a gel-cream texture. It is creamier but still absorbs quickly. The texture isn’t bad as such, it’s nice, but I wish they would stick to their Gel Crème claim. Because I bought the product thinking it would be Gel Cream. I don’t know why brands make such claims and don’t make them as such. Another product that also disappointed me is Garnier Light Complete Serum Cream (Serum Cream?!?).

Scent: Lotus Herbals White Glow Cream has a subtle floral scent. It smells artificial and not herbal. The smell doesn’t bother me, though. It is mild and dissipates soon after.

Efficacy: Before I get into the Lotus Herbals White Glow Cream performance, I will tell you about my skin condition when I used it. I used this product the last winter (December/January) when my usual summer oily skin was a combination (dry cheeks, oily nose, and normal forehead). I used it once daily for my morning routine even though the packaging says to use it twice daily. Because? Because it’s an SPF product, I don’t want to use it overnight.

My morning skincare routine is usually simple with cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen. After applying the toner, I apply a large drop of Lotus Herbals White Glow Cream all over my face. A big drop because I want it to work as effectively as sunscreen. The cream has a cooling effect when it touches my skin. It spreads and is easily absorbed. It initially has a damp/wet feel that settles in 2-3 minutes. The cream leaves the skin well hydrated without feeling greasy. It doesn’t give instant shine, but it does give you beautiful dewy skin. The gel-cream simply hydrates the skin in addition to providing sun protection. It’s nothing like those drying and mattifying SPF day creams; that’s what I love about this cream.

Product claims to have so many natural equity agents that I am less concerned about. However, regular use of this cream has not brightened or lightened my skin tone. Not sure if it works to remove tan as I wasn’t tan when I used it. It may not work to remove skin dullness, as I didn’t see any brightening effects. My skin was the same as when I started using it. If you’re not expecting major skin changes (like brightening/whitening), I’d consider this a good non-greasy 2-in-1 moisturizer and sunscreen for combination skin. I doubt this cream is suitable for oily skin as it was a bit greasy in summers,

Lotus White Glow cream did not break me. It can break it down if all other products break it down because it has few comedogenic ingredients. The product also contains parabens, a controversial ingredient that I try to avoid. So I wouldn’t buy it again.

No products found.

Advantage:

Classy packaging.
Light texture.
Absorbs quickly.
Hydrates and protects the skin.
No greasy or stretchy feel.
Refreshing sensation.
SPF 25 PA+++.

Not tested on animals.

The drawbacks:

Many chemicals, including parabens.
No gel-cream texture.

Garnier Bright Complete VITAMIN C Booster Face Serum Product Review

Hi there!! Today I am sharing the Garnier Vitamin C Serum review.

Garnier recently released their most concentrated blemish reduction formula, the Vitamin C Boosting Serum. The brand sent me their new version to try, and I’ve been using it for a few days and loving it. So, before we proceed to the review, let me tell you about the benefits of vitamin C for the skin. Vitamin C is well known in the skincare industry as one of the most effective and convenient antioxidants. Some regard it as the goal of all skincare regimens. This incredible antioxidant and the anti-inflammatory ingredient is known to improve skin tone and texture, hydrate skin, slow the effects of aging, and reduce wrinkles. Vitamin C Serum is an innovative skincare product that nourishes the skin with the benefits of Vitamin C.

Contains the power of 30x concentrated Vitamin C in a lightweight formulation that blends seamlessly with all skin types and leaves no white spots. It is necessary for the hydration and general health of the skin. The lightweight formula of Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Booster Serum is rich and creamy with a non-greasy skin feel. This serum has successfully passed dermatological tests and is suitable for all skin types. It contains a concentrated antioxidant vitamin C brightening formula with antioxidant vitamin C that diminishes all forms of blemishes, including dark spots and acne scars.

Product details:

Garnier’s most concentrated spot-reducing formula brightens your face and eliminates dark spots and acne marks from the first use.
Garnier’s 30x Vitamin C Booster Serum is an antioxidant-rich face serum that gives your skin new life and a luminous, blemish-free complexion.
Garnier Skin Natural’s most concentrated non-greasy formula serum for the face instantly absorbs into the skin. Packed with powerful nutrients like 30X VITAMIN C* and Yuzu Lemon.

Ingredients:

Aqua/Water, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Alcohol, Peg/Ppg/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin, Citric Acid, Lemon Citrus Extract/Lemon Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Disodium Edta, Junos Citrus Extract, Acid Salicylic, Benzyl Alcohol, Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethanesulfonic Acid, Linalool, Geraniol, Oxothiazolidinecarboxylic Acid, Maltodextrin, Dipropylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Bht, Fragrance/Fragrance, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenoxyethanol, Phenylethylresorcinol, Adenosine, Ethyl 3-O-ascorbic, tocopheryl acetate, xanthan gum, limonene, bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane, polyacryloyldimethyl ammonium taurate, isononyl isononanoate, acetyltrifluoromethylphenylvalylglycine, benzyl salicylate

Key Ingredients:

VITAMIN C:

Safe for most skin types.
It’s hydrating
It shines.
Helps reduce redness and even skin tone.
Helps reduce hyperpigmentation.
Reduces the appearance of dark circles.
Promotes the production of collagen.
It can help prevent sagging skin.

Citric Acid:

Helps unclog pores.
Improves the occurrence of lines and wrinkles by targeting the skin’s moisturizing support structure.
Helps even out skin tone.
Helps brighten, soften and smooth the skin.

Glycerin: works as a humectant, a component that enables the face to retain moisture, making it wonderful for the skin. It can hydrate the skin more, reduce dryness, and revitalize the epidermis. It can soften skin because it is an emollient.

Lemon fruit extract: cleanses the skin, helps control oil production, and unclogs pores. The lemon extract will also give your skin a dose of vitamin C to help improve skin tone and provide antioxidant properties to help reduce oxidative stress. Ultimately, it will help revive the skin and add to its natural glow.

Salicylic acid: is an acne treatment that works by clearing clogged pores. It does this by breaking the bonds between dead skin cells so they can be released more easily from pores and by breaking down oils such as sebum. Salicylic acid also decreases the sebum production of the skin, which reduces breakouts.

What the product claims:
Reduce dark spots and acne marks for glowing, blemish-free skin in just 3 days

My Experience on Garnier Vitamin C Booster Serum Review

It’s been about a month since I started using it. After cleansing my skin, I applied 6-7 drops daily to moisturize it. This face serum from Garnier is so lightweight that you don’t feel like you’ve put anything on. It’s not heavy on the skin and gives me a light glow. Additionally, I used Garnier Vitamin C Serum at night to hydrate my tired, dull skin without leaving a white residue on my skin. It doesn’t dry out the skin, but it makes it oily and sticky, as I have oily or combination skin. However, people with dry skin may need to moisturize after using the serum.

Garnier Complete Brightening Serum is a light and easily absorbed serum, but it won’t instantly brighten or brighten my skin. It lightens the area little by little, but on the first application, my whole face broke out, so those are the product’s downsides. I then massage it longer to allow it to absorb. My skin showed no significant change. If you use it for a long time, you will gradually change your skin tone.

After a week of application, it started to work, and the pigmentation was significantly reduced. Small light acne spots faded, and darker ones became lighter but not completely gone. With the frequent application, they can be quite lightened. But, the main drawback of this serum is that the Garnier Vitamin C serum percentage is not mentioned anywhere.

This Garnier vitamin C serum didn’t clear my skin in three days, as they say. But Garnier’s Vitamin C Serum leaves skin blemish-free in 15-20 days. Also, my skin texture improves, and my skin becomes brighter with daily use of the serum followed by sunscreen. Illuminate your skin, whatever your complexion. When applied under makeup, this serum keeps it in place. However, 3-day blemish lightening is complete nonsense. I’ve been taking it for a month, and the spots have diminished a bit, leaving my skin glowing.

Garnier Vitamin C Serum is effective in getting rid of blemishes and dark spots. My skin is oily and prone to blemishes and acne. My blemishes and blemishes have been significantly reduced, making my complexion look brighter and healthier. You must try it if you have uneven skin tone or acne breakouts. It is a good serum; I Can’t say skin lightening, but it leaves you with a nice glow and smooth skin. Also, it helps reduce pore size to some extent without completely leaving perfect poreless skin.

The only downside is that the packaging can cause rapid oxidation of vitamin C, although this can be avoided with great care. This Vitamin C Boosting Serum from Garnier is perfect for all skin types. Its gentle formula does not irritate even the most sensitive or acne-prone skin. With regular application, the skin develops a glow and changes texture, leaving it clear, radiant, and beautiful.

Garnier’s Light Complete Enhancing Serum will take some time to get rid of old acne scars. However, if you have a new pimple, it will disappear within a week. I had four large pimples that have disappeared a bit, but the pimple scars are still visible.

My skin is incredibly hydrated thanks to this anti-blemish serum from Garnier. It soaks into my skin quickly and leaves me with a smooth finish. It doesn’t work in three days as they say, but it works after a week. It also helps remove dark marks and blemishes. Also, this serum has reduced my breakouts and improved my skin tone. But don’t forget to use a gel-based moisturizer afterward. Because it does not contain ascorbic acid, this serum is not a pure vitamin C serum (the purest form of vitamin C). Contains a vitamin C derivative less effective than ascorbic acid.

Price:

₹386 for 30ml
₹609 for 50ml

No products found.

Packaging:

The cardboard box and glass bottle used to package Garnier Booster Serum are both recyclable. At the top of the bottle is a dropper. The dropper allows us to manage the amount of product and ensure that the serum is always germ-free. However, since vitamin C is photosensitive, I think the serum should have come in a dark-colored bottle instead of a clear glass bottle. Therefore, store this container in a dark, cool place to avoid exposure to sunlight. After each use, I recommend keeping the box instead of throwing it away.

Fragrance:
It has a pleasant and refreshing lemon scent that is subtle and not overpowering. Plus, the scent doesn’t linger long, so sensitive noses won’t be bothered.

Texture:
The serum looks smooth and is just a little bit thicker than water.

How to use Garnier Vitamin C Serum

Wash your face and pat dry with a mild facial cleanser.
In your hands, place a coin-sized amount of Vitamin C Booster Serum.
Apply it evenly to your palms without rubbing too hard. Apply the serum to the face and neck by patting gently. Use daily for optimal benefits.

Comparing Wow Vit C Serum with Garnier Vit C Serum

The formulation of both serums is lightweight, non-sticky, and non-greasy, blends easily, and absorbs quickly into the skin.

Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Perks:

Light
Affordable
Non-sticky, non-greasy formula.
Glass bottle with dropper
sweet fragrance
Fast-absorbing formula
No residue on the skin.

The disadvantages of Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum:

No visible results in 3 days
Contains alcohol which dries out the skin.
The bottle should be dark/amber in color, but it is translucent.
Chemically charged
I’m not sure how effective the serum is, and the concentration of vitamin C is not mentioned.

Garnier Vitamin C Serum Side Effects
Like any skin care product, vitamin C serum can end up causing side effects in some people. However, topical vitamin C is a skin-friendly substance and is generally well tolerated. However, people with hypersensitive skin may experience side effects. Also, Garnier Vitamin C Serum contains many ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction in some people. Itching, redness, and skin irritation are possible side effects of using the product.

While some people may experience a slight burning or tingling sensation after applying this Garnier serum, it should only last a few minutes. If a person’s skin continues to burn or shows signs of an allergic reaction, such as redness or rashes, the skin should be washed immediately to remove the serum.

Shelf life: 36 months

No products found.

Overview:

Overall, Garnier Vitamin C Serum feels light on the skin, and the formula is non-sticky and non-greasy. Results don’t come in just 3 days as the brand claims. But Garnier’s Vitamin C Boosting Serum gives you glowing, blemish-free skin in a month with regular use. This serum helps reduce dullness and dark spots and improves skin texture, giving it a luminous and radiant look. Check out if you’re looking for a decent vitamin C serum on a budget.

Biotique Cucumber Pore Tightening Refreshing Toner Product Review

Biotique Cucumber Pore Tightening Refreshing Toner Product Review

If you have problem skin, especially oily skin, you should include a toner in your daily skin care regimen. Oily skin gives you smooth skin. However, it also has its drawbacks. I wouldn’t say I like the way it looks on my face. I’m not too fond of the shiny texture and the blemishes it causes in general. Let’s also not forget the random appearance of buttons. When I had the opportunity to visit the Biotique counter recently, the Cucumber Water Toner was the only product I chose. Seeing cucumber as the main ingredient gave me hope that oily skin issues could be minimized. I was looking for a toner containing cucumber extract and finally got one.

What Biotique Claims About Cucumber Water Toner:

Biotique Cucumber Water Toner is a highly effective refreshing antiseptic refresher that contains coriander, gall nut, cucumber, and berry extracts. Specially formulated to soothe the skin, it contains peppermint oil to help tighten pores after cleansing.

About Biotique Organic Cucumber Pore Tightening Toner

“Cucumber, coriander, gallus, berries, peppermint oil, and cool waters from the Himalayan foothills are mixed to create this pore-tightening toner. It’s formulated to give the complexion a perfect pH and help keep the skin in its purest state,” says Biotics.

List of ingredients :

Post of Berberis Aristata (Daruhaldi Kwath) 0.1%
Coriandrum Sativum Extract (Dhania Kwath) 2%
Quercus Infectoria Ext. (Majuphal Kwath) 2%
Mentha Arvensis Oil (Mint Tail) 0.85%
Water Cucumis Sativus (Kheera Jal) Q.S.

Key Ingredients:

Berberis Aristata Ext: Helps control acne by inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation with its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Dhania Kwath: Dhania juice or Dhania powder and rose water can be mixed to form a paste which can be applied on the face to help control acne, pimples and blackheads due to its antibacterial and astringent properties. It is advisable to use Dhania in small amounts as large amounts can cause skin irritation and inflammation.

Majuphal Kwath: The antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Manjistha are beneficial for the skin. Manjistha extract inhibits acne-causing bacteria and helps control external inflammation such as ulcers and skin conditions.

CONSISTENCY:

Biotique Bio Cucumber Pore Tightening Toner is excellent for soothing the skin. This toner sports transparent greenish water with the sweet smell of citrus and cucumber. The product is greenish transparent like water. Unlike other toners, it does not stick to the skin, and the smell is refreshing.

It gives a cooling effect on the skin when you apply it, which makes it perfect for summers. I used it in the morning and just before bed. It does dry out the skin a bit, so follow it up with a good moisturizer. The amount supplied in one bottle is sufficient for 3-4 months. I used it twice a day, and it lasted over 3 months.

HOW TO USE BIOTIC PORE RESTRICTING CUCUMBER TONER

Cleanse your face, moisten the cotton ball with the toner and apply it to your face and neck. Don’t forget to apply the Moisturizing Cream afterward.

Price: ₹127 for 120ml

Packaging: Comes in a well-sealed cardboard comic. The inside of the bottle is a clear, translucent plastic material, making it easy to see how much I’ve used and when I need to buy the next one. The lid is green plastic.

Texture: The product is completely transparent, water-like, and lime-green. It has a sweet and subtle lemon scent, unlike others with a sticky and annoying smell. To describe it, it’s like the nimbu pani type; sometimes, I want to try the tonic.

My Experience with Biotique Cucumber Refreshing Toner:

I like this toner mainly because it is naturally based. It is extracted from all-natural herbs, which look very exotic. It does not contain alcohol, and I did not experience any jarring effects on my skin. However, when I first used the cucumber water, I felt a slight cooling/tingling sensation. But, the sensation subsided after about 1-2 seconds. I guess the tingling sensation is a “fix” for my oily skin and tightening my 24-hour active oil-secreting pores. It doesn’t feel astringent, nor does it feel harsh on my eyes. Applying common low-base astringents or other toners that claim to be alcohol-free, even though they are not, gives you a painful eye reaction. I’m glad this one doesn’t hurt my eyes. But the most important thing about this toner is its ability to control oily skin and prevent it. We all know that cucumber minimizes oil production on the skin, removing oil over time.

It also can keep your great face oil-free. I can also see fine dirt and grime on the cotton I used. It is effective in deep cleaning the face, which prevents skin problems.

Pros of Biotique Cucumber Refreshing Toner:

The greatness of cucumber provides a calming effect on the skin.
It’s skin lightening. It makes my skin clean, smooth, and blemish-free, but not 100%. Although it largely fulfills its purpose.
It allegedly helps reduce the oil that clogs pores and thus helps reduce oil on the skin’s surface. Even three hours after washing my face and applying toner, I
notice that my face is still shine-free, and my nose is less oily than before.
Another good thing about this toner is that it is made from natural ingredients and does not contain harmful elements.
It is alcohol-free.
The best part is that the smell isn’t too strong and doesn’t irritate my nose.
My skin becomes less greasy and more manageable throughout the day.
I paid for it was 149, which is good because it’s not expensive, but it does what it says on the tin.
I’m prone to acne, but thank goodness it doesn’t give me breakouts.
Boutique does not conduct cruel animal testing.

Cons of Biotique Cucumber Refreshing Toner:

I wish it came with a flap opening.

NIVEA Soft Light Moisturizer Cream Product Review

NIVEA Soft Light Moisturizer Cream Product Review

NIVEA Soft Light Moisturizer Cream Product Review

Although the Indian market is flooded with a variety of moisturizers, few of them help dry skin retain its natural moisture to look hydrated throughout the day. Here is the importance of Nivea Moisturizer. When I came across this one, I couldn’t help but choose it instantly. Read the full Nivea Soft Light Moisturizer review below to get an in-depth idea of the product. Also, learn how to choose the right type of moisturizer for dry skin and what types of ingredients to avoid.

Choose a moisturizer for dry skin.
Just as oily skin is prone to breakouts and pigmentation, dry skin also presents issues. Forget special winter care; dry skin needs to be pampered with a strong dose of hydration even the rest of the year. But when it comes to finding the right product that can infuse lots of moisture into dry skin and lock it in, most people feel helpless! So here are some tips to get you started:

Opt for cream-based moisturizers that have a thick consistency and thick texture.
Be on the lookout for substances like waters, emollients, humectants, antioxidants, vitamin (A, C, and E), etc.
Avoid products that contain irritants as they can cause stinging or burning sensations. Instead, look for soothing components.
Try to find moisturizers with an SPF of 30 or higher for adequate sun protection.
If you have specific dry skin concerns, see a dermatologist for a full evaluation of your skin and expert recommendations based on that.

What to avoid in a moisturizer?
As already mentioned, certain ingredients in your moisturizer must be avoided to prevent your dry skin from getting worse. Some popular “extras” in facial moisturizers that do dry skin more harm than good are:

Synthetic dyes and perfumes are potentially irritating to the skin.
Acidic substances can aggravate various dry skin conditions.
Antibacterial agents that rid the skin of its natural essential oils
Alcohol and steroidal ingredients make dry skin even drier
Body-friendly substances (waxes, shea butter, mineral oil) that can clog skin pores

So, if you are looking for a great face moisturizer that pampers your dry skin and keeps it healthy without using harmful ingredients, Nivea Soft Light Moisturizer is the right choice. We’ll tell you why.

About the brand ‘Nivea.’
Nivea is a 100+-year-old German personal care brand that started its journey in the skin care industry in 1911. In its own words, “With NIVEA Creme, we created modern skin care over a century ago.” The NIVEA brand is trusted by thousands of people globally, regardless of skin type. Our researchers work intensively with different skin types and the care requirements imposed by culture, gender, and age. Using this approach, we have developed many innovative skincare products over the past decades, from deodorants to sunscreen products. We work with over 50 institutions worldwide to ensure our products are right for your skin. At our headquarters in Hamburg, we’ve even set up our lab for Asia and Latin America, where we conduct research targeting those regions’ skin types and climatic conditions. We do this so that one day everyone can trust NIVEA products.

Ingredients:

Water, Glycerin, Liquid Paraffin, Myristyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Denatured Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Myristyl Myristate, Microcrystalline Wax, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydrogenated Coconut Glycerides, Simmondsia Chinensis Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Lanolin Alcohol ( Eucerit?), Sodium Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol, Linalool, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Benzyl Alcohol, Parfum.

Key ingredients:

GLYCERINE: When your skin needs hydration, turn to glycerin. It is a moisture magnet that attracts and binds moisture to the skin. Your skin then uses the extra moisture to thrive. It plumps up so well that fine lines and wrinkles appear smaller. It becomes softer to the touch. And it glows as if lighting up from within.

LIQUID PARAFFIN: It is the Latin name for mineral oil. Yes, the one derived from petroleum.

It’s not as bad as it looks. Mineral oil undergoes a strict purification process that removes ALL toxic impurities. The result is 100% safe and non-toxic.
Mineral oil is so popular because it is an excellent occlusive. This means it creates a barrier on the skin and slows down water loss. Do you remember all the extra moisture that glycerin provides? Mineral oil won’t let it out.
But why does Nivea Gentle Moisturizer use mineral oil instead of other occlusives? It was very cheap. If you want to keep the price this low, you don’t have many options.
Mineral oil itself does not cause rashes. But it can trap dirt and comedogenic ingredients under your skin, leading to breakouts. This cream contains Myristyl Myristate, a comedogenic ingredient that could give you pimples. For me, it’s not, probably because there aren’t too many here anyway.

DENATURED ALCOHOL:

Denat alcohol is one of the most misunderstood ingredients in skincare.
Critics say it’s drying and irritating. They’re right to some extent. Denat alcohol can be problematic when used alone. But pair it with moisturizing ingredients (like glycerin and mineral oil), and you can easily counteract its drying effects.
That said, if you have dry or sensitive skin that doesn’t tolerate Denat alcohol (some skin types don’t like it), Nivea Gentle Moisturizer isn’t for you.
So why is Alcohol Denat here anyway? It thins out the texture, so it’s not too heavy.

My take on Nivea Light Soft Moisturizer

The product is pure white and very soft as well as buttery. It has a characteristic Nivea smell, which is to some extent strong for sensitive noses. As the company said, the texture of the product is extremely light. It can be spread all over the skin without pulling and does not make it oily or sticky. Well, you can see a polished plaster on your face for the next 15-20 minutes of application, but it gradually disappears.

I usually apply it to my cleansed face and neck before bed. Even though my skin is very dry, I only need a small amount. It is absorbed into the skin within minutes and does not need to be massaged thoroughly. My skin becomes perfectly soft, supple, and smooth in the morning. The moisturizing quality of this product is excellent. I used it even during the day, and my skin stayed hydrated most of the day without me applying it again. I also used it for my dry hands and chapped feet on cold winter days, and needless to say, the result was great! This is a wonderful night cream that is affordable and lives up to its claims.

Texture
It is lighter than Nivea cream. The soft, not too thick texture is refreshing on the skin and glides on easily. A little goes a long way. Be careful not to apply too much – this product takes a few minutes to penetrate and leaves a light greasy residue.

Fragrance:
It has a clean, forgettable scent that isn’t too strong.

How to use it:
You can use a multitasker on your face, body, and hands. When used as a face moisturizer, it’s the last step in your skincare routine at night. In the morning, you can use it after serums but before sunscreen.

Performances and personal opinion
I have combination skin, and the Nivea Mild Moisturizer didn’t make all areas happy. It hydrated my dry cheeks enough to keep them soft and smooth for hours; I’ll give you that. My oiliest T-zone? There the cream went overboard. It was so hydrating; my greasy patches were shinier than ever. If you are looking for a mattifying cream, this is not it. Another with? It has no antioxidants to fight premature wrinkles. It’s cool if you’re a teenager, but this cream may be too basic for you if you’re approaching your mid-twenties.

Who is it for?
I would recommend this cream only for teenagers scents with dry skin.

Who is it not for?
Someone else. Especially anyone with oily skin or interested in anti-aging.

Packaging:
The packaging of Nivea Soft Light Moisturizer may look elegant and feminine, but this is the biggest drawback of the product. The cream comes in a white plastic jar with light blue designs instead of the old blue Nivea tin. The side and bottom of the tub contain the necessary information. Once you open the lid of the jar, you can see a silver foil covering the cream.

Now the problem is that I have to dip my fingers in the cream every time I use it, which is unhygienic. This increases the chances of developing infections a hundredfold. I don’t understand why a big brand like Nivea still can’t get away from the bathtub concept! It isn’t very pleasant. Also, I can’t take the tub with me. No, I’m not talking about the size because it already comes in two sizes smaller. The lack of silver foil and the consistency of the cream make it a complete mess if the tub overturns during travel. I didn’t expect that!

If the tub or pot is devoid of air, the components of the moisturizer easily break down. Also, if it is transparent or translucent, exposure to daylight greatly decreases the effectiveness of the ingredients. Therefore, always choose tube packaging over jar packaging, as this reduces the risk of contamination and spoilage of ingredients.

Contains denatured alcohol, which can make super dry skin even drier.
Strong smell
It makes a face shiny, staying for 15-20 minutes.

Recommendation:
Sure. It can be a real savior for dry-skinned beauties in winter. If Nivea comes with better packaging, I’ll make it a staple in my stash.

Key Ingredients:

Strawberry extract: There is no denying that strawberries are probably one of the most delicious fruits. They are sweet, juicy, and contain most of the nutrients you need to stay healthy. While their health benefits are there, did you know that strawberries are also a great addition to your skincare routine? Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, strawberry is a powerful fruit that works wonders for your skin. Please scroll down to see strawberries’ skin benefits and why they’re one of the most important ingredients to add to your skincare entourage.

Benefits of strawberries for the skin

Rich in many nutrients that are only good for you, the skin benefits of strawberries are extremely amazing. Scroll down to see what healing magic lies behind this juicy fruit.

Acne treatment

Rich in vitamin C, strawberries have anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe and calm rashes. They contain salicylic acid, a BHA that cleans pores and keeps bacteria away. This, in turn, prevents future outbreaks from occurring. Additionally, salicylic acid is an excellent anti-acne and is a popular ingredient in many face creams and other skin care products.

Reduces UV damage

Antioxidant-rich strawberries help reverse damage caused by UV rays and free radicals. The damage often leads to premature skin aging, as UV rays often break down collagen. This is one of the main reasons why fine lines and wrinkles appear more visible. The antioxidants found in strawberries help reverse this damage and prevent further damage to the skin.

Puffy eyes treatment

A great benefit of strawberries for the skin is that they help treat raccoon eyes. Dark circles and puffy eyes are a big problem that many people face, and strawberries are a great way to tackle them. Strawberries act as an astringent that helps soothe the area under the eyes and reduces the inflammation that holds this puffiness in place.

Reduces hyperpigmentation and dark spots

The salicylic acid present in strawberries reduces and fades hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Strawberries act as a great exfoliator and slough off dead skin cells that pull the skin down. It also closes pores and prevents further blemishes from forming.

Improves skin health

A good source of AHAs and BHAs, strawberries have many benefits for the skin. From removing dark spots to treating acne, they help improve the overall texture and appearance of your skin and leave you with a brighter, more youthful complexion.

Oil regulation

Vitamin C in strawberries helps in sebum production and restores balance in terms of oil levels in the skin. In doing so, it moisturizes the skin and deeply nourishes it.

Brightens the skin

Strawberry juice is perfect for instantly lifting dull skin and brightening it. Since it helps lighten dark spots and blemishes, your skin tends to look brighter, fresher and revitalized, thanks to strawberries.

Anti-aging

Strawberries are high in ellagic acid, an essential element to prevent collagen depletion. This acid protects the skin from UV damage and prevents collagen from degrading.

Lakme Blush & Glow Strawberry Facial Cleansing Gel Detailed Review, Samples & My Experience

The overall look of the facelift is quite cute. It comes in a reddish translucent tube with a white cap. Printing and packaging are minimal in appearance and finished with premium quality. The smaller size of the product would be suitable for travel. The cap is leakproof, and there are no spill or leak issues.

The consistency is thick and gelatinous. The facial cleanser is translucent and contains pearls. The texture is smooth and not sticky. It smells fresh and amazing, thanks to strawberry extracts. I love the scent and packaging of this product.

Packaging: This facial cleanser comes in a red plastic tube with a flip-top cap. The body of the tube remains translucent. Allows users to see how much product is left. The packaging quality is quite good and easy to carry.

The flexible tube dispenses the desired amount of product. There are no spills or leaks. The brand has mentioned a detailed list of ingredients. The graphics on the packaging label give it a fresh and fruity vibe.

Color and Consistency: The face wash is pale red. There are small granules scattered in the wash. The granules are colorless so that they won’t stand out in the bright red face wash.

However, they are quite ineffective in terms of exfoliation. The face wash has a medium-thick gel texture. Although there is sulfate in the ingredients, it does not produce a thick foam. Eliminates excess fat without drying out the skin.

Scent: The face wash has a sweet scent of fresh berries, citrus, and mint. The scent is unique. The scent adds a refreshing vibe to every wash I take with it. The sweet scent only lasts a short time.

Effects:
Although the face wash easily removes dirt and impurities, it could not remove the oil from my face. The face wash does not dry out and nourishes and hydrates. Skin feels smooth and supple after using it. The facial cleanser can also be used to remove light makeup.

General verdict:
I love this product. Although it might not be the best product for my skin type, I love how my skin feels after every wash. I have to use another face wash to control the oil on my face, but that’s fine. If you have dry or combination skin, this is one of the best face washes available in this price range. It makes my skin glow and feels extremely smooth on the skin.
