Fabindia Clove Acne Control Cream : Review

You know what I found in my stash hidden deep at the back? Fabindia Clove Acne Control Cream. Don’t remember when I lost it. This is one of my most loved product from Fabindia. It works like a charm every single time. Clove is actually great in healing acne. I am always in look out for clove oil based products. Fabindia Clove Acne Control Cream is the best of them. Lately I have been feeling that faceclin gel has kind of given up on me, after all it’s a topical form of antibiotic. So I am back to using more herbal acne control products. Fabindia is an old flame in that department. Let’s talk about it in detail.

About Fabindia Clove Acne Control Cream

This is a clove oil based cream with traces of tea tree oil, such an amazing formulation. It’s texture is like a whipped cream hence goes very light on skin and is suitable for all type of skins. The cream is best advised to be used on oily and acne prone skin. This cream not only works on acne but improves skin texture too.

Price

Rs. 190 for 50ml. Most of the times it is out of stock online as well as offline.

Ingredients

Packaging

It comes in a tub packaging. The tub is off white colored transparent plastic tub with light & dark green detailing on it. The packaging contains all the information about the product. Tub packaging is mostly unhygienic unless you use a spoon or spatula to scoop out the product. Earlier, I have felt the packaging was not sturdy enough but Fabindia seems to have the quality of the tub. It won’t break off easily.

Great News : I found a Face Wash that controls Acne permanently 🙂

Color, Texture & Smell

It is an off white colored whipped cream And I mean it’s totally whipped. I feel like am applying some thing watery on my face. There is no stickiness or oiliness in the texture. It goes smoothly on my skin. Since it stings due to the presence of clove oil and tea tree oil, I only spot treat my blemishes with this. It smells mostly of Clove Oil only. The smell is kind of pleasant and not pungent entirely.

My Experience

I have been using it for more than 5-6 years now- on and off. I would use it regularly and after my skin returns to normal, I toss it somewhere in my stash. Since last year I was using Faceclin Gel, which was working without giving a burning sensation to skin. But these days, faceclin is behaving nasty and hardly able to treat my hormonal breakouts.

I have been using Fabindia acne control cream from last week again. And it is showing it’s magic on my hormonal & very recent breakout. Fabindia advises to use it twice daily as a skin cream, but it gives burning sensation to my skin even after using it for so many years, hence I use it on my spots only.

It vanishes zits in a day or two, and fades scars too, if used early to treat the zits. I also feel it helps to get a better skin texture, with continuous usage in terms of minimized pore appearance. There is no stickiness or oily residue. The whipped cream texture gives matte finish to the skin.

The only downside of using this cream is the stinging part, which also gives my skin some redness. The redness subsidies with in an hour or so. That’s why I use it only during night.

Summary : 4.5

In terms of effectiveness, I would give it a 5. It works like a charm every single time. It contains Clove Oil & Tea Tree Oil as it’s main ingredients which are highly effective in treating acne.
