Hi girls. Plum Goodness has been around from quite some time now and I have used a handful of products from this brand. Most of them being skin care. some of them fared really well like Plum Green Tea Clear Face Pack. I also loved Plum Olive & Macadamia oil hair mask. Coming to Plum Natur Studio All Day Wear kohl kajal , there is no other match. Apart from these 3 star products, I am struggling with the other products from the brand. Today I am going to share my opinion on the newly launched Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate. Stay tuned to know how it fared on my oily, acne prone and sensitive skin. Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate The latest addition to Plum Green Tea range is Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate which is a lightweight serum to be used for all skin types. This serum is enriched with the goodness of Green Tea which is anti oxidant & works as an astringent, Cinnamon Bark, which regulates sebum production, fruit extracts to yield AHA to skin, Ginger to soothe inflammation, licorice to even out skin tone and aloe vera juice to moisturize and calm skin. ♥Parabene Free ♥Cruelty Free ♥SLS Free ♥Phthalates Free Price & Availability: This concentrate is available for whooping 1175 Indian Rupees for 30ml only. Available on Plum, Amazon, Nykaa. My Current Favorite Night Gel : Plum Green Tea Renewed Clarity Night Gel Ingredients Of Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate The key ingredients of this skin concentrate are Green Tea, Cinnamon Bark, Fruit Extracts, Willow Bark, Ginger, Licorice, Aloe Juice. Refer to the picture below to have a look over the complete list of ingredients. Packaging The concentrate comes packed in a 30ml transparent matte bottle with a pump fitted at it’s mouth. The bottle itself is packed in the signature packaging of Plum Goodness which is Olive green and white. The outer packaging contains all the information about the product including manufacturing details, ingredient list, usage direction etc. The 30ml bottle is quite travel friendly because it’s compact and the pump is sealed with a transparent cap. There won’t be any accidental spill. Also as the product gets used, the concentrate keeps on going higher as you can see in the image below, so every drop of the concentrate could be used. More Skin Care From Plum: Green Tea Alcohol Free Toner Green Tea Mattifying Moisturizer Angel Eyes Kohl Kajal in True Black Fragrance & Texture Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate, is a very lightweight solution. It has greenish hints but goes clear when applied on the skin. Being runny, it is easy very easy to apply it. Instantly it gets absorbed leaving nothing behind. It has quite a familiar pleasant and sweet smell. I think this is the signature fragrance of all the Plum green tea range products. It’s mild and goes away pretty soon after the application. My Experience With Plum Green Tea Skin Clarifying Concentrate I might refer this concentrate as a serum, because, it has the characteristics of a serum. It is lightweight, runny and gets easily absorbed. It offers moisture but is very minimal. The moisture level is so low that even my oily-turned-combination skin needs a layer of moisture over this concentrate. I can give it a benefit of doubt as it does not promise to provide ample moisture to the skin. Coming to the results, I have used this concentrate more than half now in about 2 weeks, twice a day, but I don’t see any thing extra ordinary out of this concentrate. I have dark spots due to acne. They are still as dark as they were before using this concentrate. It does not prevent new acne. I am having a lot of blocked pores and 2-3 pimples on my face right now. Green Tea is supposed to help fighting acne, but guess this concentrate does not have ample amount of green tea. I wonder what happened to the Salicylic Acid from Willow Bark. This concentrate is too mild to act on my existing problems. I am going to use it until I finish it. because, there is not much left in the bottle, anyway. And I will be returning the empty bottle to Plum with my feedback. The Good Loaded with so many powerful ingredients. Very lightweight, hence gets absorbed really fast. Does not contain any bad boy i.e., parabenes/phthalates/chemicals Travel friendly packaging. Adds bit of glow to the face, without making skin oily. The Bad Pricey for the quantity provided. The Ugly Does not work as it is supposed to. Does not help with dark spots or fights acne. Basically it’s just an extra step in your skin care yielding nothing. Despite of being targeted as a product for oily & acne prone skin, it delivers nothing. Summarizing the review, there is only a feel good factor that is associated with this product for me, that this concentrate is from Plum and it is green Tea based. I feel, it can keep skin matte for another hour during summer. Honestly, I had really high hopes with this concentrate (which is not concentrated enough to moisturize skin), I really wanted it to work as amazingly as Plum Green Tea Clear face mask works for my skin. I wonder what went wrong, with so many nice ingredients, why this concentrate does not work for me. Have you used this concentrate? Do you feel it lives up to it’s claim of giving a clear skin? Which product is your favorite from Plum? Leave your comments below. – Nisha Malik ♥

Ryaal Vitamin C Anti Ageing Serum : Review

Nisha Malik — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 23:35:10 +0000

I really wanted to change my skin care routine from sometime now by including an anti ageing serum/cream. I was eyeing some green tea based serum but got Ryaal VItamin C Advance Anti Ageing Serum which also contains Hyaluronic Acid, MSM & Vitamin E. Green Tea is great in terms of anti oxidant properties but I wanted something to work on my problematic skin fats. Vitamin C is great in terms of the effects that I wanted for my skin. I am using it for more than 2 weeks now but I am eager to share my views on the same. This is another great product from Ryaal. After using Ryaal Black Mess & Ryaal Mr. Beans I was really thinking what next? Ryaal never fails to surprise & impress. Ryaal Vitamin C Anti Ageing Serum With Hyaluronic Acid, MSM & Vitamin E This advance anti ageing formula is enriched with 20% Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Methylsulfonylmethan (MSM) & Vitamin E. Along with anti oxidant properties of Vitamin C & E, your skin is well hydrated with Hyaluronic Acid. MSM accelerates collagen production. Overall, a complete protection against premature skin ageing. Skin Benefits Of Hyaluronic Acid & MSM The building block of our skin is collagen. As we age our skin loses collagen and wrinkles appear on skin. Hyaluronic Acid & MSM boosts collagen production. So our skin is able to retain moisture & wrinkles wear off. These two ingredients are most evident in most of the anti ageing skin care products. Price & Availability This anti ageing serum is highly affordable and is available at Amazon & Ryaal at just Rs. 499 for 30ml. Packaging This serum comes packed inside a green themed card box. Inside the card box you find a dark blue colored glass bottle and a dropper. I think the packaging is quite convenient. It is easy & hygienic to use the product with the dropper. Complete ingredient list and other manufacturing details are provided on the bottle via white labels. Ingredients Fragrance & Texture This is an yellow-ish liquid which has stickiness of orange juice. I literally could smell some zest of oranges in it actually. It smells very refreshing and good. If applied in excess skin might even look orange-ish. Even though it feels bit sticky in during application, but once absorbed it leaves skin complete matte. There is no unwanted shine left behind on skin. How To Use Apply few drops of this serum over pre-cleansed & dry skin. Let it absorb by itself. The serum could be used twice a day.

Vitamin C works the best to fade away scars while giving anti ageing effects. What attracted me towards Ryaal Vitamin C is the fact that it not only contains 20% Vitamin C but also some other amazing ingredients which are known to give nice performance in terms of anti ageing effects. Honestly, I did not like the first time I applied it over my skin. Because it was like I was applying orange juice over my skin. Some degree of stickiness in the texture is very evident. I let it sit on my skin for few minutes as directed on the packaging. But after 2-3 minutes the serum really sank into my skin. And I was relived. To give you a picture of my skin before using this serum, I was going through a bad hormonal breakout as always. It left my skin with very bad scarring. I was very desperate to get rid of these still raw & red scars. You know new scars are easy to fade away. After first week I did not notice much change. I kept on applying it every morning followed up with a sunscreen & later at night. By the mid of 2nd week there was about 30-40% change in the color of my scars. They had lightened pretty much. Things were looking really nice. By the end of 2nd week, I realized things have slowed down. Seemed like the serum was not working anymore for me. I started alternating Ryaal Vitamin C serum with InstaGlam Bridal Glow Serum. Things got back on track. In terms of moisture, I don’t use any other moisturizer. It is enough in terms of providing moisture to my already oily skin. Also I notice no roughness in my skin. I am quite happy with the Ryaal Vitamin C serum now. It’s working it’s way to clear up my scars. I hope by the time I will end up using the bottle, I will be in a much better place. Shall update you more about it’s progress after a month or so. Keep on watching this space. Do I Recommend Ryaal Vitamin C Serum? Yes. To fade away scars, it works amazingly. Ryaal Vitamin C Serum, is an amazing anti ageing serum which doubles up as a spot corrector too. In very short term it shows effects on scarring specially if you have fresh scars. In long term the serum boosts collagen production and prevents pre mature ageing. The serum is very affordable, easy to use & store. How does this anti ageing serum sound to you?
