Botanic Love Rosemary Therapeutic Facial Gel : Review

I took Botanic Love Rosemary Therapeutic Facial Gel as another sticky gel which are generally suggested for oily and acne prone skin. But, boy, I was so wrong. Formulated without parabenes, synthetic dyes & sulfates, the gel is something more. Botanic love is a cruelty free brand which believes in nurturing skin and hair with natural ingredients only. Rosemary has quite calming effect on acne. It really soothes down skin when my skin is all flared up. I have been using it from more than 3 months and it’s on the verge of finishing up now. Before it gets over I would like to share my views on it.

Botanic Love Rosemary Therapeutic Facial Gel

This gel is a non foaming, gentle yet effective toner for skin which deep cleanses skin of impurities. It does not irritate, dry out & hurt skin. It rejuvenates dull & tired skin leaving it brighter, radiant & refreshed. The gel also contains Mint which is an anti inflammatory ingredient. It also contains natural ingredients like Aloe Vera, pure essential oils of Lime, Germanium, Rosemary & Rose. This gel can be used as a skin food for every skin type.

Ingredients

Witch Hazel: The willow, bark and leaves of Witch Hazel can be used to make Witch Hazel water which is uses as an astringent. It is highly suitable for acne prone skin. It cleanses and tightens pores.

Aloe Vera: Known as a magic plant, it works as an soothing, anti inflammatory, anti septic and anti bacterial ingredient in skin care. It has excellent moisturizing properties.

Rosemary Essential Oil: This essential oil has great anti oxidant properties. It improves skin’s circulation boosting healthy glow.

Germanium: It is basically a water soluble ingredient to prevent rough skin. Not sure if this ingredient is safe to be used in a face gel.

Rose: High in Vitamin C, Vitamin E, roses are Anti bacterial and Anti oxidant. So they are basically very good for oily and acne prone skin.

Mint: High in anti bacterial properties, Mint is considered to be one of the most effective ingredient for oily and acne prone skin. It regulates oil production and deep cleanses skin.

Lime: Limes are a great source of Vitamin C and hence fight dark spots and pigmentation effectively. It makes sense that they are present in most of the natural skin care lines.

Packaging

Botanic Love Rosemary Gel, comes in a glass jar with metal lid fitted at it’s mouth. I really love the packaging. I am quite prone to breaking glass things but still I really adore it. Also I need to make sure that my hands are clean before I take out the product out of the jar. I anyway use a spatula or a spoon in order to maintain the hygiene. There are labels on the transparent glass jar with all the information about the product printed over.

Fragrance & Texture

It smells very fresh and obviously  mostly of Rosemary essential oil. But sometimes, I can catch a hint of Aloe Vera & Mint to. The smell is quite mild and soothing, after all it’s a therapeutic gel. These kind of scents have a nice effect on mind too, relieving it of stress.

How To Use

Directed as to apply it over face, neck & chest. Massage it for 5-6 minutes. Rinse off.

This is how I use it:

1. When my skin is behaving well, I apply a thin layer of Botanic Love Therapeutic Rosemary Gel on my face and neck. Massage it little bit and it sinks into my skin, leaving behind matte finish. This gel works as a toner and moisturizer for my skin
2. Whenever I am having an acne breakout, I apply this gel over my breakout, without rubbing it or massaging it. It acts as an over the top acne treatment for pimples. The Rosemary, Mint, Aloe Vera etc, really soothes the red angry pimples, taking away inflammation. Within few hours, there is significant reduction in the size of the pimples.

My Experience With Botanic Love Therapeutic Rosemary Gel

My first experience with Botanic Love Rosemary facial gel was at Navya when Tina from Botanic Love gave me a nice face treatment. She applied this gel over my skin before applying Botanic Love Acne Mask. I liked seeing my fresh face post the facial and gave all the credit to the mask. I have been using Botanic Love Therapeutic Rosemary Gel at home and now I know it has something great to offer.

It’s so hard to find a moisturizer that is light and works on acne prone skin. Botanic Love Therapeutic Rosemary Gel, is very effective in toning and moisturizing acne prone skin. It is a 2-in-1 product. During last September-October I used only this gel as my morning moisturizer.

What I like the most about this gel is that it is lightweight. It has a pleasant fragrance that really uplifts my mood. My skin does not feel stretchy or sticky after using this gel. It gets completely absorbed (I anyway use just a pea size amount). Skin looks calm & bit brighter too. Complexion looks refreshing.

I wish it could do better in terms of forming new acne on my skin. Rosemary is not really a powerful ingredients in terms to act as a guard against acne bacteria, it can just give some calming effect. That explains it’s limitation.

Do I Recommend Botanic Love Therapeutic Rosemary Gel?

• Yes, if you are looking for a lightweight gel based toner/moisturizer for oily, combination & sensitive skin.
• No if you are looking something to heal acne.
• I will not repurchase it for few months, since winter are here, and now my skin will turn bit combination desiring bit more of moisture. But I shall repurchase it next summer for sure.

 

Botanic Love Rosemary Therapeutic Facial Gel is an all natural lightweight gel which gets absorbed into skin very quickly without feeling sticky or stretchy. It gives bit of hydration to oily & combination skin. It calms down acne but cannot stop from forming new ones. The gel is formulated without 

Botanic Love is a new brand but really promising. I really wish that it gets available online & offline easily so that every one could easily access it’s effective products.
