Hello Beauties, how are you girls? Do you use age defying creams? The creams that promise to keep your skin youthful no matter how many candles you are blowing on your cake every year? I do not follow any anti ageing skin care regimen as such, but there is one such cream that has been in my household. It’s Pond’s Age Miracle Cell ReGen Day Cream SPF 15 PA++. It is considered to be among the best anti ageing day cream. This cream is highly publicized for it’s retinol benefits. I have used it on and off over the years, but this cream has been favorite of my mother, ever since, I introduced it to her. So I chose this day cream to talk about today. This is my family’s favorite, as my sister too likes to use this cream sometimes, when she is running out of Pond’s White Beauty Day Cream. So let’s jump on to the review of this day cream with SPF from Pond’s. About Pond’s Age Miracle Cell ReGen Day Cream SPF 15 PA++ Pond’s identified 6 vital bio-actives which leads to the creation of the intelligent Pro Cell Complex™ for the Pond’s Age Miracle™ range. It allows skin cells to regenerate so fast, age simply cannot catch up. Clinically Proven. Dermatologically tested. Pond’s advises to use cleanser, serum & night cream from the same range for better results. Price Rs. 599 for 50gm. Buy here at discounted price. Ingredients Packaging The day cream pot comes in a red & silver colored card box. Pond’s logo is printed over the card box with other information about the product. Inside the card box you find a semi transparent glass pot containing the cream with a shiny red colored lid in fancy shape. As you open the lid, you find the tub mouth covered with a plastic cover to avoid any spillage. Fragrance & Texture The day cream is sweetly scented, and smells quite luxurious. I feel, all the Pond’s creams smell the same way. The texture of the cream is very fine & smooth that it glides on skin beautifully. The color of the cream is has pink tint. One pea size amount covers face perfectly. But if you want to reap the benefit of the small amount of SPF that this cream contains, I advice you to apply it twice taking pea sized amount. Since the cream contains bit of SPF, the cream might give some sweating to the skins that are prone to suffocation, like mine. My mother’s aged & normal skin, does not feel any heaviness even during summer. My Experience I am going to share here 3 experiences, with 3 different types of skins. I have oily & acne prone skin, my sister has combination skin while my mother has mature & normal-dry skin type. The cream gives matte finish while satisfying the moisturizing needs of my oily skin. The cream minimizes my pore appearance giving it a smooth & brightening effect. As long I continue using this cream it keeps my skin even toned & glowing. But as soon I apply it on my skin, I feel bit of sweating. And continuous usage, gives me few blocked pores as day creams with SPF are known to do so to my skin. My sister has combination skin, so she needs bit of moisture & matte finish. It works perfectly for her. Though I do not advice her to use this as she is in her early twenties, because this cream contains a lot of powerful ingredients such as Retinol. Still, she uses it whenever she is running out of Pond’s Beauty White. it does not break her skin neither she feels any sweating with this cream. My mother who has mature skin, loves this cream. She has been using it for so many years. It gives her skin enough moisture. It minimizes the appearance of her wrinkles while smoothing her face (temporarily). The effect of minimization of pores & wrinkles is temporary on my skin & my mother’s skin, it goes away as we discontinue using this cream. But that is true with any cosmetic product. Likes Smooth & fine texture. Brightens & tones complexion. Gives matte finish. Suits every skin type except my extremely problematic skin. Small quantity is required for each application. Smells nice. Provides bit of sun protection too, in case you are not going out. No white cast like Pond’s White Beauty Day Cream. Helps to minimize pore & wrinkle appearance. Dislikes Costly. The cream needs to be used continuously to maintain the positive results. Can give blocked pores to extremely oily & acne prone skin specially during summer. Summary : 5/5 I am giving this cream full points because it actually is a great anti ageing cream. If this cream is used continuously, it really helps to take away age spots & delay appearance of wrinkles or other ageing signs. It keeps skin young & beautiful. Though It won’t help with sagging skin as much, but yes, it helps to smooth down wrinkle & pore appearance. I wish it worked for me, too, without giving any side effects (of blocked pores). I am sure, you must have heard or used this cream. What do you have to say about this anti ageing cream? If you liked this post, do not forget to share it 🙂 Nisha Malik ❤ Facebook | Instagram

Himalaya Natural Glow Fairness Cream : Review

Nisha Malik — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 09:24:45 +0000

Most of the day creams break me out because they tend to contain some amount of Sun Protection Factor (SPF). I can use a sunscreen alone, it won’t break me out, but creams/makeup that contain SPF, certainly break me out. Most of the day creams give me under skin bumps and clogged pores which later result into acne. I have been testing Himalaya Natural Glow Fairness Cream from more than a month now. I got it last while i was shopping for some regular items. It was available in 25g packaging, perfect for sampling. About Himalaya Natural Glow Fairness Cream with PHYTO-VITAMIN Complex An advanced skin lightening formula enriched with a Phyto-Vitamin Complex, containing a combination of Alfalfa, Safforn & other essential vitamins. Alfalfa regulates melanin synthesis; Saffron helps lighten skin tone and brightens a dull complexion. In combination these ingredients provide your skin with an even tone, nourishment and glow, naturally. 5 Visible Results Lightens & evens skin tone Helps reduce blemishes and dark spots Helps reduce under eye dark circles Nourishes skin to keep it healthy Moisturizes without leaving skin greasy. Price Rs. 45 for 25g. Rs. 80 for 50 g, Buy here at discount. Ingredients Packaging Comes in Himalaya’s signature white and light pink tube with green cap. Travel friendly and hygienic packaging. Texture, Colour & Smell It is a smooth textured & light pink coloured cream, easily absorbs leaving matte finish behind. The smell is nice but quite artificial. I have used some product which used to smell like this, I just can’t recall it. The smell lingers on your skin for few minutes after application. My Views If I talk about the day time moisturisers/cream I use, I would say, I generally go for Clean n Clear Oil Free Moisturiser, sometimes, it is Za true white day cream or Za perfect solution youth whitening serum. Sometimes even Lacto Calamine gets lucky. The very basic reason I picked Himalaya Natural Glow Fairness Cream, is the fact that it does not contain any SPF, at least is not mentioned anywhere. My skin hardly gets away with a day cream containing SPF. Some might argue that a day cream must contain SPF, but a day cream containing SPF might clog oily skin, which generally happens with me. The texture of the cream is fine & smooth, there is no issue while applying it. It gets easily absorbed, as soon as you apply it. Not much rubbing is required. It gives absolute matte finish. Skin is instantly brightened. It does not give any white cast, but there is certainly some pinkish cast/hue on skin, which looks good since it looks natural. Ponds White Beauty Day Cream too gives pinkish glow, but that looks more like white cast. It contains Alfalfa & Saffron, which are natural ways to brighten skin. I have been using it from about a month, mostly twice a day. It claims to lighten skin tone, which didn’t stand true for my skin tone. My skin tone is same as was before using this cream. I do not expect any skin cream to lighten skin tone until it contains harsh chemicals/bleaching agents. There is little amount of brightening. Skin looks even toned. But I have not seen much improvement in my dark spots/acne spots. They seem to intensify on application of this cream, weird .. huh?. So I can say, it works as a skin brightening cream rather than a skin lightening cream. It moisturises skin, but gives matte finish, oily skin would love the feel while dry skin beauties might need to add another layer of moisture. My skin stays matte for 3-4 hours during current dry days. After that my face has little oily sheen. Sometimes, my skin looks red or irritated, may be because it contains natural stuff which might be reacting with my sensitive skin. It’s nothing major just hints of redness on my cheeks. Likes Nice texture. Gets easily absorbed. Gives matte finish. Contains goodness of Saffron and Alfalfa. Control oil for 3+ hours. Gives pinkish and natural glow rather than white cast. Brightens face instantly. No breakouts or clogged pores. Suitable for oily & combination skin. Travel friendly and hygienic packaging. Affordable & easily available. Long term usage brightening skin naturally. Free of parabenes. Dislikes I sometimes find that after wearing it for 2-3 hours, my skin is little red/irritated. It happens seldom. For some, lack of SPF might be a con. I think the smell is strong for my liking, though it does smell nice. Summary : 3.5/5 It is parabene free, very affordable, simple day cream for oily skin with the goodness of Saffron and Alfalfa. Gives nice brightening effect and keeps skin fresh for 3-4 hours. UPDATE: It’s full throttle summer now, & I do not like to use this cream over my face since it feels little heavy. It makes my skin feels sweaty. Normal- Dry skinned people would love this cream during summer. Also my skin has got habitual to this cream now, hence my skin does not get irritated now.
