Himalaya Herbals Oil Free Radiance Gel Cream : Review

Summer as well as Monsoon seasons, can be really tricky for skin.My skin needs moisture, but I do not want to slather the normal day creams, they just do not feel right. Gel creams are definitely something I look up to during summer & monsoon. Himalaya Herbals Oil Free Radiance Gel Cream is my today’s topic to discuss with you which is alcohol-free & parabene-free. It’s like the best herbal cream for oily & acne prone skin during summer.

Himalaya Herbals is among such Indian brands, whose products speak. If you don’t already know, let me tell you, that I liked using Himalaya Herbals Natural Glow Day Cream during last winter, but that cream is not suitable for summer for my oily & acne prone skin as my skin does not need that much moisture now. Glad that Himalaya Herbals came up with the replacement of Natural Glow Day Cream for summer (according to me). Let me walk you through why I liked Himalaya Herbals Oil Free Radiance Gel Cream so much.

Himalaya Herbals Oil Free Radiance Gel Cream

Enriched with Barbary Fig & Winter Melon, smells heavenly & oil free gel based cream is an ideal day cream for oily & acne prone skin during summer. The cream is free of alcohol & parabenes. It hydrates skin while giving an oil free radiant glow to your skin. The light textured gel based cream absorbs quickly into your skin while giving 3 benefits:

• Oil Free Look
• Maintains Moisture Balance
• Non-Shiny Glow

Barbary Fig: It contains poly-saccharides that are known to provide moisture, leaving your skin gently hydrated.

Winter Melon: It exhibits anti-oxidant properties that keeps skin healthy, protected & rejuvenated.

Ingredients

Packaging

The gel cream comes filled in a glass tub with a plastic mint colored lid over. The outer packaging, i.e. the card box contains all the information about the product like the ingredients, price, benefits etc. Himalaya generally packs it’s products in tube which are more travel friendly. Tub packaging is not really appreciated for hygienic reasons. Also glass tubs are bit prone to accidental breakage(don’t get me started on my shaky hands).

Fragrance & Texture

The fragrance of this gel cream is enchanting, it’s aquatic & flowery at the same time. I love to smell it again and again. But once I have applied the cream over my face, it goes away quickly.

Texture wise, it is  gel cream. The lightest texture you can have. It’s feather like light on your skin. It absorbs quickly as water drops. It is smooth enough to glide on your skin effortlessly.

My Experience

I am on the second tub of this cream. It took me about 1 and half month to use up the first tub. I use it daily once a day after my morning shower. I apply rose water on my face as a toner (going the nature’s way). After 2-3 minutes I dot this cream on my face & massage it going in circular motions.

It instantly sinks into my skin. There is no stickiness as I would rather feel with another gel products during summer. It feels like I have applied nothing. But there is increased level of suppleness and glow in my skin. The glow is not that oily thing but is rather a very faint glow, an oil free glow.

It keeps my skin matte for 3-4 hours. After 3-4 hours my T-Zone starts to get oily. I splash water on my face & then I am good to go. I have worn this cream under BB Cream & a foundation. It acted as a primer because of it’s finish. The makeup went pretty smooth.

I really am going to use it until the next winter shows up. During winter I would switch back to the Natural Glow Cream from Himalaya Herbals unless my wandering eyes find something more interesting to try out.

Update: I am using The Ordinary Skin Care for acne prone skin , and I have never seen such clear skin.

Summary

Himalaya Herbals Oil Free Radiance Gel Cream, is a parabene free, alcohol free, oil-free, day cream for oily & acne prone skin at affordable price. It is widely available & proves to be economical in long term. If you are looking for a gel based day cream, please look no where else. It lacks SPF, but it’s not a con for me. ❤❤❤❤❤

Hope you liked the review. Have you used this day cream?
