RevAyur Orange Lotion Review

by Iswarya

I am a graduate in visual communication. I have been regularly reading product reviews,DIY,make up tutorials on this blog and love it. I have visited many blogs but i must say that this is the most informative. Makeup and beauty home has made the Blogging world more fun and happening. I have learnt so many things from your blog

I bumped into this blog just casually surfing the net, and since then I’ve bookmarked it to be visited daily
I love writing and this blog has given me a wonderful opportunity. Now let’s move on to the product review.

Who needs body lotions in monsoons? I need. I’m always on the hunt for a good lotion that will provide extra moisturizing and seal in the benefits. Last weekend, I went to big bazaar to buy jergens body lotion. To my disappointment, big bazaar did not have it. They had the regular ones like Nivea, dove etc. The skin care section is always crowded but to my relief, one of the counters was free. I found a new small brand called Revayur in that counter and the girl there was quite good. She helped me pick up the Revayur Orange Lotion and I thought of giving it a try and rushed to the billing counter. It was by chance that I came across this lotion.

What the product claims:

RevAyur Orange Lotion – skin nourisher for all skin types -For dehydrated, dull and mature skin
types in need of brightening-non greasy 24 hours moisturizer with orange oil

Speciality of Revayur Orange Lotion:

Has detoxifying & deodorizing, stimulating and revitalizing effect.
Specially formulated for dehydrated, dull, and mature skin types in need of brightening.
Enriched with natural vitamin C from oranges
The skin will look more velvety, supple and “plumped out”.

Usage Directions:

Use it daily on a cleaned skin.
Leaves the skin feeling fresh and hydrated.

Key ingredients of Revayur Orange Lotion:

Silicon oil, Orange oil.

My take on the product:

Every winter I seem to struggle through the months trying to find items that will keep my body
moisturized and it seems like this was a difficult task. Fortunately RevAyur Orange Body lotion came to my rescue when I found it.

RevAyur Orange Lotion

I thought RevAyur is an initiative by the brand Ayur. But later I came to know that it has nothing to
do with Ayur. The texture is rich and smooth and you can use this all over or just to give your hands or feet that
extra attention. By seeing the packaging and name I thought the product may contain natural ingredients but the
ingredient list is indeed very scary with many chemical names.

Pros:

Great for rough elbows and knees
The orangey fragrance which is not heady
Easy Availability
Hygienic Packaging- bottle with the pump i.e., does not spill out.
Suits normal & oily skin
Non greasy. Easily absorbed by the skin as it is light weighted
Small amount goes a long way
Deodorizing

Cons:

Presence of parabens and chemicals
Nothing miraculous or extra-ordinary about it other than moisturizing
No long lasting fragrance
Price is bit high.
Not suitable for winters and dry skin

Final Verdict: Definitely, worth trying!

My Rating: I would give it 3.5/5

Will I repurchase: It depends. I don’t like to use it as my body lotion but I may use it for hands, feet
and elbows

14 Replies

Hey guys!
By now you all would have heard and known about the new come Just Herbs, an ayurvedic cosmetic brand. This natural new brand is receiving a huge response among people and I was really tempted to try out their products. Aren’t you feeling good hearing the name? “Just Herbs”? Means ONLY herbs, no chemicals or harsh preservatives.

I got three products recently and this skin radiance gel which I am reviewing now is the one I tried first. This Frugel Firmskin Radiance Gel is one of the products from Summer Collection of Just Herbs. Before going into the review, let us see few lines about Just Herbs.

About Just Herbs: The Just Herbs collection does not contain strong artificial perfumes and possesses the faint fragrance and aroma of the woods. We share with you the ingredients- herbs and plant extracts that go into our products by clearly mentioning them on our labels along with the percentages used. Our packaging is recyclable and we encourage you to re-use our bottles and jars. They are many more things to say about this brand, but let us check them in future reviews. Now, let us see how this skin radiance gel works.

Just Herbs Frugel Firmskin Skin Radiance Gel

Price: Rs.345 for 100gm

Shelf Life: Not mentioned (I will ask and update)

Ingredient List

Each gm contains: Grape seed 1.0mg, Ananas Comosus 1.0mg, Apricot 2.0mg, Orange 2.0mg, Daucas Carrota 1.0mg, Madhu 10mg, Gum & Parishut jal.

Product Description

Suitable for massage of oily skin this gel uses the anti-oxidant and anti-aging effects of fruit poly phenols and essential fatty acids to protect the skin from free radical damage and provide necessary nutrients to the skin to diminish the signs of aging. Regular massage with this gel helps maintain soft, supple and naturally glowing skin.

My Experience with this Product

As I said before, I was very much impressed about Just herbs and their claims. This frugel skin radiance gel comes in a tub and I loved its packaging very much, the tub looks like some which princesses in ancient times used. It has golden colored top lid which makes it look so attractive. Hence the container is made of thick plastic and is firm, it becomes very travel friendly. The only thing that bothered me is that, I need to dip my fingers inside every time to take the gel out. This might be unhygienic so make sure to keep your hands clean before using the gel.

To say about the consistency, its neither too thick and nor too thin. It is somewhat like the jellies we eat but still little softer than them. The colour is similar to that of orange juice which makes it very pleasant to eyes. I loved the overall texture and colour. Fragrance is not that sweet, because of it’s no artificial perfume formula the fragrance was very natural. It doesn’t hurt my nose but I am not yet sure about how sensitive noses feel. It glides onto skin smoothly and easily, so no complaints about its texture and fragrance.

The very first time I applied it on my skin, it gave a very cooling sensation calming down my skin. I guessed that this is going to leave a greasy feel behind but not at all, a perfect smooth finish it gives. Not glossy, Not matte, not dry, not moisturized, all it does is smoothed out my skin without any change. I felt very light and convenient soon as I applied this radiance gel on my summer oily skin. I used it both at the mornings and nights, my skin felt visibly firmer after a week of usage. This skin gel suits oily skins best without leaving any greasiness and it also softens and firms skin with daily usage. The gel feels a bit sticky for 2 minutes after application, but completely dries off giving a smooth finish after that.

PROS

Cooling sensation with every application. This calms down damaged or burnt skin very well.
I experienced no side effects like breakouts or something.
Leaves skin smooth and oil free. It gives a natural look, neither shiny nor matte.
Perfect moisturizer for extremely oily skin. Do not get disappointed with the stickiness, it disappears in seconds.
Firms and softens skin with regular usage.
I felt soft glow on my skin after regular usage.
A very small quantity is enough for whole face, hence the quantity is good. Can’t blame the price.
Contains natural fruit extracts, yes! I felt the fruity smell.
Sturdy and travel friendly packaging.
Just herbs products are free from artificial perfumes, chemicals and preservatives.
100% Vegan and non tested on animals.
Anti aging claim may be true because it firms skin. Great pick for 30+ people if you have oily skin.

CONS

Availability
Not suitable for dry skin types
Tub packaging

Nothing else I can mention as a con. Of course, this radiance gel is not meant for dry skins but that cant be taken as a con because this product is specially formulated for oily skin and no such dry skin claims. You can try the other variants from this range, dry skins!

My Recommendation: I highly recommend this to extremely oily and oily skin types. Normals can pick this in summers and not for dry skins, try other variants from this range. Makes skin soft, firm and glow with regular use.

Overall Rating: 4/5

Will I Repurchase?: Of course. This product is going to my HG list on summers! It cools down skin like anything, softens and firms.

Hello beauties! Winter is almost gone but still dry skinned people are born to moisturize their skin now and then in all the seasons. Who doesn’t like soft and moisturized skin? If you skip your moisturizer, all you get is lifeless, dull and unattractive skin. Dry, normal, oil, sensitive or any skin typed you’re, moisturization is an important step in daily skin care routine. Today, I am reviewing a product which claims to work on normal to dry skins and let us see how it works. The name itself is attractive, “Skin food” so I was super excited to use this product even I don’t have that much dry skin. This is a product from Iraya, an ayurvedic brand. Let us move on to the product description and review now.

Product Description: Protein-rich nourishment for restoring firmness & radiance | For normal to dry skin | With almond, Indian madder (manjishta), rose petals and sandalwood oil, this nutrient-rich cream is easily absorbed by the skin. Ensures both corrective and preventive action, minimises fine lines, delays signs of ageing and restores firmness and radiance. Ideal for normal to dry skin.

Iraya Almond Nutrifying Skin Food Review

Price: Rs. 495 for 50g

Shelf Life: 2 years

Key Ingredients: Almond, Manjishta, Sandalwood, Aloe, Sesame

Usage Directions

Apply and gently massage using fingertips into face and neck, in smooth upward movements. Best to use after cleansing and toning. An essential daily ritual for soft, radiant and younger-looking skin.

My Experience with this Product

I love anything natural on my skin. That too Almonds? They are my favorite skin nuts. Whenever my skin feel lifeless or tanned I just smash some almonds with milk and cover it up. An instant skin nourishing mask is done. When I came to know about this skin food, I was super excited because of the almond content. The product comes in tub packaging, which is not so preferable for me but still it is okay because a vacuum lid is inside to prevent spillage. The tub is transparent, firm and travel friendly.

Iraya Almond Nutrifying Skin Food Review

A very thick, creamy rich consistency it has, as same as cow butter. The cream has a slight peachy tint, just very slight and smells good too, even bearable for sensitive noses. Due to the thick consistency of the cream, it takes little more time to get completely absorbed by the skin. The product claims to work on normal and dry skin and so I felt this a little heavy on my normal skin. I guess it is one of the best winter pick for normal skins. Oily skins never go for it because your skin will end up in looking greasy. Do you have dry skin? Then this one is best for you anytime.

Iraya Almond Nutrifying Skin Food Review

This cream doesn’t make skin look much greasy, but actually my skin felt greasy a bit after application. Even though it feels heavy on my normal to oily skin, I used this as a night cream to notice the results. After two weeks of usage, my skin is noticeably soft and firmer than before. It also helped reducing some fine lines under my eyes. So, overall it is a great smooth moisturizer for dry skin types as per the claim. Aloe and sandalwood ingredients are more plus. It may be pricey for few, but worthy for the results. 40+ women will love it however even young ones can try it.

PROS

Smooth, creamy and thick consistency which is easily spreadable.
Smells good. Some herbal + nutty mix it is. Even sensitive noses wont hate it.
Contains natural ingredients like Sandalwood, Aloe and Sesame.
Really it acts as a great skin food for dry skins! Heals and nourishes well. Worthy try!
Winter pick for normal skin types. Nourishes skin well.
Softens and firms skin with regular use. Difference in fine lines is visible.
Can be used as a night cream too with slight massaging.
A great natural anti aging product for 40+ beauties. It actually nourishes well.
No side effects and I have experienced no breakouts too.
Pack is firm and travel friendly.

CONS

Not for oily skin. Do you think this as a con? Of course not because they doesn’t claim (I am just mentioning)
Normal skins may feel it greasy on summers.
Tub packaging is not hygienic. I would love to get it in tube.
Might be little pricey for a moisturizer. But it is worthy as well.

Overall Rating: 4/5

My Recommendation: This is a must try skin food for dry skin types. It nourishes and moisturizers well however dry your skin is. The staying power is great too. Normals, get one in winters and a big no-no for oily skinned girls.

Will I Repurchase?: Of course yes! because it improves my skin softness and texture. Waiting for next winter!
