Do you have a habit of buying some new stuff and toss them on your shelf, not looking back because you don’t like it or something else. Ok, what kind of stuffs? Dresses, DVDs, cosmetics or textbooks (kidding!) 😛 Well! In my case, it is skin care products. I use it for few days and if the results aren’t evident in short period, I forget about them. Same thing happened with no marks cream but I retrieved it and today going to review it ha!!
Price & Quantity:
40 Rs for 12 gm
My Take:
This pimple control cream comes in green tube package along with a pamphlet explaining three more variants for different skin types such as dry skin, normal skin, and acute pimple suffering skin
It is yellowish colored cream. Its consistency is soft and smooth, spreads easily on skin. It smells like herbal ointment.
I bought this one after lot of research and used it then & there. Well, improper use never gives best results but I didn’t realize it and just made it to sleep on my cupboard for months. Once my neighborhood sis praised lot on Nomarks cream, I woken up my cream from long sleep.
It is a soft and smooth cream. It blends on the skin effortlessly. It made my oily skin too greasy and dull, which I hate more. Then, I decided to use it as night cream and forced myself (hehe… I am a lazy person!) to use it every night. After doing it for a week, I saw something mmm… Is that my acne scars lighten up? Wow! I felt really good and there after I used every night religiously with anticipation. Even my stubborn acne scars faded and slowly disappeared.
It improved my skin complexion too. Results are visible within a week, Isn’t that fast? But it didn’t prevent occurrence of new pimples.
PROS:
Convenient and hygienic tube package
Affordable price
Ayurvedic ingredients
Results are too quick
Lighten up acne scars
Improves skin complexion
CONS:
Makes skin greasy
Contains paraben
Rating: 4.5/5
Do I Recommend?:
Yes, because I find it better than some anti blemish creams which costs 450 bucks for just 15 gm, still fails to keep up the promise.
Would I Repurchase?:
Yes, I will buy this wonderful cream ever and ever.
Today I am going to review my mom’s most favorite vicco turmeric cream. (There is also a version without sandalwood oil. i.e Vicco Turmeric WSO cream.
I was introduced to this turmeric skin cream by my mom when I was studying in 3rd grade. I used to bug her to get me some creams or lipsticks or whatever which comes under a beauty tag. But wait.. I was not allowed to use this cream on daily basis over my face as my mom felt that my skin was not matured enough. Whenever I happened to get any wound or burn, my mom’s hand reaches for this cream and I even used to think that it was just a medicine or some ointment long ago.
Only after few years, after I grown up into a teenage girl, I got to know this is actually a skin cream with medicinal properties! From that day, I am using this Vicco product till now regularly and here comes my receive on it.
Price:
Rs.48 for 15g
Storage Instruction:
Protect from direct sunlight.
Key Ingredients:
Extracts of turmeric and sandalwood oil.
My Experience:
This skin cream comes in a not-so-good looking packaging. It comes in a very simple tube; like one in which those ointments come but that is not an issue for me. It has a not-so-tight screw cap so you surely should be careful while traveling with this product (It made my handbag messy twice) Hence I always keep in mind to tight the screw cap well before carrying it) For the price, I have no big complaints with the packaging part.
This cream is light yellowish in color with a thick texture. I found the fragrance natural, but a bit strong. It somewhat smells like as if you have mixed talc and turmeric together and made it a paste. Though I have a sensitive nose, I do not have much problem with the fragrance part as it fades quickly. If you are a real lover of turmeric, you will love the fragrance of this product.
Before talking about the effects of this cream, let me explain its type of finish on the skin. This cream, though being thick doesn’t feel heavy on my facial skin. I have that medium-light feel soon after applying this cream over my skin. It settles into a soft matte finish and gives that natural glow instantly after usage.
Being a summer oily skinned person, I did not find this cream hard to blend on my skin however I should quickly massage my skin after applying this cream in order to get it absorbed well. All I get is a brightened, white caste free, matte skin! I dab some loose powder or compact over it and I am all set to go. (Remember that it doesn’t contain SPF so you must use your sunscreen separately if you are stepping out in the sun)
With regular usage, I have noticed that it made my skin tone even, lightened acne scars fast and made my skin supple to touch. It has also helped me keep my rare acne breakouts in check. It does not help with lightening skin much but of course it has improved my skin texture very well. Oily skinned girls (or even guys?) will love this cream very much.
Now comes the bad part! Though this cream brightens skin, it is NOT suitable for those who have dry skin! 🙁 My skin tends to change normal-oily during winters but still then I found this cream turning my facial skin stretchy in winters. So I make sure to use it with a moisturizer in winter. And one more thing.. My sister has extremely oily skin and she found this cream not impressive too. After 2 hours of application, this one make her T zone oily so she stopped using it. For me, it helps my face stay matte for a very long time. (Wondering how!)
Overall, I must say that it is a tricky cream; for some it works wonderfully and for the other, it fails to work. Climatic conditions matter too. From my guess, I say that this cream will suit you best if you have oily or normal skin. Give it a try if you have normal skin too, but don’t forget to dab on some moisturizer before applying it. If you have extremely dry skin, then forget about this cream please!

Rating: 4/5
Do I Recommend?:
Yes of course! To all oily skinned girls and also the normal skinned people. Get it for sure only if you do not have an extremely dry skin type. This cream might still stretch your skin out even if you have normal-oily skin and in that case, use a moisturizer along with it. Using a moisturer along with it makes the cream easily blend-able too.
I cannot say no to this wonderful turmeric product! If your skin loves it and accepts it without any trouble, it does wonders to lighten scars and make your skin tone even with regular usage.
