Nisha Malik — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 23:39:47 +0000

I somehow missed reviewing this beauty from Za. Well, it’s never too late. So I am going review this serum now. This is the first product I got from Za when Za was launched in India for the very first time. I wanted a moisturizing yet lightweight serum to help me with my dark spots (they never leave me alone… you know?). Later I also laid my hands on Za Perfect Solution Youth Whitening Serum & Za True White Day Cream. I liked the Perfect Solution Youth Whitening in terms of moisturisation, but did not help me much with my dark spots while this True White Ex Emulsion was a good choice in terms of fading my dark spots. Za day cream was good but used to make my face sweat. About Za True White Emulsion This is a feather light, highly moisturizing & whitening lotion. The emulsion contains whitening agent 4MSK which suppresses Melanine production (responsible for dark skin tone). The emulsion is a mix of lotion, essence & emulsion. It works in 3 ways. Helps to whiten skin tone, Brings down dullness while moisturizing skin. The emulsion contains Olive leaf which helps in uplifting skin dullness. While White Lily extracts helps to moisturize skin and keeps it moisturized for 8 long hours. Clarity from dullness Even-Coloured skin tone Continuous moisturised skin Radiant Complexion Price It used to retail at a higher price an year before, but it’s price has been dropped to Rs. 899 for 125ml, now. Ingredients Source – http://www.cosmetic-ingredients.net Ascorbyl Glucoside 1.0%Water, Hydrogenated C6-14 Olefin Polymers, Dipropylene Glycol, Cetyl Octanoate, Alcohol, Dimethicone, Peg-60 Glyceryl Isostearate, Betaine, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Xanthan Gum, Tocopheryl Acetate, Peg-5 Glyceryl Stearate, Behenyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Potassium Stearate, Potassium Behenate, Potassium Isostearate, Potassium Carbomer, Trisodium Edta, Sodium Citrate, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Potassium Citrate, Bht, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Fragrance Packaging It comes in a beautiful milky white, opaque hour glass shaped bottle with screw-in cap at the top. On one side of the bottle Za Tue While Emulsion has been mentioned, while on the other side How to use has been mentioned. No ingredient list has been provided on the packaging. The bottle has no stopper and has a little wide opening so I have to be very careful every time I use it, otherwise I take out excess of product. The bottle comes in a transparent carton, which contains all the information about the product. It states the features of the product & other important product details. Color, Texture & Smell It is milky white, lightweight & smooth lotion. It feels very luxurious & velvety smooth on skin. It gets absorbed very quickly leaving skin completely moisturized. Only a dollop of the lotion, covers my face and neck. The lotion is highly frag ranted. It smells sweet but chemically & the fragrance lasts for few minutes after application. My Experience This is one of those perfect lotions which give you luxurious feeling and also work the best way for your skin. The very first thing I like about this lotion is how lightweight it feels on skin and gets absorbed into the skin that very instant. I do not need to reapply it be it any season. My skin is moisturized & feels very soft & supple afterwords. Skin does not feel stretchy or does not feel any irritation. Coming to the long term effects, yes it works in lightening the dark spots & evening out skin tone to a great extent. It works a fabulous job in giving a soft glow to the face. As I need a very small amount for each application, the product turns out to be very economical and lasts for 3-4 months. Hence it stands true to all the 3 claims the brand has made about it. – Whitening (erases dark spots), Anti Dullness (brightens skin tone) & Moisturization. I just do not admire the emulsion being highly fragranted. I wish it was either odureless or had little mild smell. Likes Milk like texture. Lightweight & quick absorbing formula. Does not make my face sweat. Works in 3 folds- provides moisture, brightening effect & helps in fading dark spots. Economical. Never breaks my skin. Attractive & sturdy packaging. Dislikes Little strong sweet yet chemically smell. Summary : 4.5/5 I really admire this emulsion for it’s beautiful & quick absorbing formula giving enough moisture to my oily skin (will suit every skin type), brightening my skin tone & helping me fade away dark (acne) spots. The price is little on higher side, but is economical in long term. Hope you too liked this review. I think this is the best lotion that I have ever found to work for my troubled skin.

Za True White Day Cream with SPF 20 PA++ : Review

Nisha Malik — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 05:43:47 +0000

Hi, I am going to write about the white girl in town, Za True White Day Cream. Za is from the house of Shiseido Japan which is an old and reputed brand in skincare and makeup. This particular line also comprises of an emulsion and night cream which I quite liked. It is another cream claiming to whiten the skin. But today’s woman of Internet era is not so ignorant. We all know skin color can’t be changed (read as whiten) unless we go through some surgical procedures or harsh chemical routine. Then why do we buy such creams labelled as ‘whitening’. We just wish to get rid of the un-even skin tone or age spots or dark spots due to zits. That’s all we want from a whitening cream to give us an even toned glowing skin. Highlights of ZA True White Day Cream SPF 20 PA++ Whitening Effect with 4MSK Vitamin C SPF ingredients White Lily Extract Price This is a costly affair as it sells at Rs. 999 for 40 grams. Packaging It comes in a transparent cover which provides all the product information like how to use, main ingredients, price, weight etc. I lost its outer cover so I don’t have its pictures. The cream comes in a white plastic jar with a pretty shape. The jar is quite sturdy and leak proof. Texture, Colour & Smell The color of the cream is milky white. The texture of the cream is velvety soft. It is lightweight and hence absorbs pretty fast. I am in love and hate relationship with the smell of this cream. When I first apply the cream it smells like alcohol. But after few seconds there comes a mild floral smell which I adore. My Experience with ZA True White Day Cream I bought this cream especially because everyone was raving about it. Also it claims to have vitamin C which is a superb ingredient for a skin care product. My skin concern is mainly the dark spots that I get due to the occasional zits. The cream also has SPF 20 in it hence no need for a separate sunscreen unless you are going out in the sun. I used this cream for about four weeks regularly after my bath in the morning. It absorbs really fast and gives little sheen to the skin initially, but if you touch your face, it feels matte. Wow. Also it does not make my skin greasy after few hours as other matte creams I have tried. With regular use it evens out the skin tone which is quite desirable. Coming to the dark spots, I don’t find remarkable difference. The spots are still there just little bit lighter. Guess spot correcting needs more time. This cream provides the right amount of hydration to my oily skin. I don’t need another moisturiser. Oh yes, the product has some downfall too. The cream is matte and non greasy but it makes me sweat during summers. Oh God, why? I thought I found the perfect day cream but I guess, I will have to wait. So my hunt for an I-won’t-make-your-face-sweaty day cream starts again…phew!! Likes Lightweight and non greasy yet hydrating. No acne breakout or skin allergy. Nice floral smell (hope the top note of alcohol are just with my piece). Sturdy packaging hence travel friendly. Has the goodness of vitamin C which helps in skincare brightening. Has SPF 20 which is sufficient for indoor stay. Gives nice glow to the skin. Brightens and evens out skin tone with regular use. Suitable for all skin types. Dislikes Price of-course. Though it will last about 2 months, I find the price little bit on higher side My face sweats after wearing this cream. A big turn off. Summary : 4/5 This is a nice day cream if face sweating is ignored which is hard and I hope it’s just my skin. Also one needs to be regular with this cream to maintain the effects.

Or any other product from Za? XOXO

Za Perfect Solution Youth Whitening Serum : Review

Nisha Malik — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 03:14:26 +0000

Hi girls, today I will be reviewing Za Perfect Solution Youth Whitening Solution, which I bought because of its claims of being anti dark spots + anti-wrinkle. In the past, I have used Za True White Emulsion, which I quite liked. “Anti dark spots”, this is the no. 1 tag line which makes me buy skin care products. What can you expect from an acne-laden girl? So let’s find out, how it fared on me. Company Claims: Anti Dark spots + Anti wrinkle (As simple as it can get) Ingredients: Water, Alcohol, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl, Trimethicone, Glycerin, Peg-20, Potassium Methoxysalicylate, Isostearic Acid, Triethylhexanoin, Phenoxyethanol, Trehalose, Aminomethyl Propanediol, Lauryl Betaine, Carbomer, Tocopheryl Acetate, Zanthan Gum, Fragrance, Acrylates /C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate, Crosspolymer, Disodium Edta, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Retinyl Palmitate, Prunus Armeniaca (apricot) Juice, Zea Mays (corn) Oil, Limonene, Magnesium Chloride, Hexyl Cinnamal, Calcium Chloride, Sodium Hyaluronate, Citrus Junos Seed Extract, BHT, Sodium Benzoate, Soluble Collagen, Prunus Persica (peach), Kernel Extract Price: Rs. 1299 for 30 ml Texture, Color & Smell: It is a milky white, water based serum having very mild and sweet smell. Packaging: It comes in a very attractive white opaque bottle with pump and pink cap. How to use: Apply in the morning and evening after toner and before moisturizer. Availability: Its available easily online and offline at Za counters. My experience with Za Perfect Solution Youth Whitening Serum: I love the beautiful consistency and feel, it has. I need one pump of the product for my face and neck. My oily skin absorbs it very beautiful with little blending, and it stays moisturised. After 2-3 hours my skin feels oily. And then I just wash my face with plain water. About the effect it has on my skin, it brightens the skin little bit, but that’s all. Except the moisturization part, it does not do anything extra while Za True White Emulsion was more reliable in the brightening department. The dark spots claim could not stand true for me. I can’t validate the anti-ageing claim either as I don’t have any visible signs of ageing yet. One bottle runs for about 30-35 days even when used twice a day. Since it has opaque packaging, I can’t tell how much product is left until I unscrew the pump and see directly into bottle bottle. Likes: Utterly smooth texture. Quickly blends into the skin. Will suit all skin types. Heavy duty moisturization without giving the heavy feeling Did not break me out Pump packaging Travel Friendly Little quantity required for each application Dislikes: Pricey for 30 ml (being just a moisturiser) Could not deliver anti dark spot claim to me Rating: 3/5 Final Word: I would buy Clean n Clear Oil Free Moisturizer for the moisturization needs of my skin rather than throwing away about 1200 bucks for this serum since it does not deliver any other claim. Also I have found amazing serum for my type of skin in O3+ Agelock Vitamin C Serum. Have you used this serum? Were you planning to buy it?
