The Packaging
The 200ml pack comes in pump packaging (The one I got) and the 100ml one in flip type cap. It looks so lovely and cute, every squeeze is in control too. It is a transparent plastic bottle, very sturdy and thus it will be easy to find out how much product is left inside. Being hygienic and also travel friendly, I don’t think it will create any mess. Perfect Packaging!
5/5
Colour, Consistency & Texture
I fell in love with the colour to be frank. It looks like a smooth butterscotch ice cream filled in the bottle. The moisturizer is in milky pale yellow colour and the texture is very smooth. The moisturizer is not thick or powdery, it has the ice cream consistency, neither thick nor too runny. Perfect for a light moisturizer. I can feel the turmeric and sandalwood smell in it and so the fragrance part is quite good too. Completely bearable for even sensitive noses, moreover it’s very fresh and lovely.
4.5/5
How it works on Me
This sandalwood and turmeric moisturizer is for normal to dry & mature skin, though I tried it as the winter chillness doesn’t completely get vanished off. This moisturizing cream should be used very little on normal and oily skin types, or else you will feel greasy. Dry skins will love this to core, it’s a skin food for you in summers, winters and whatever the season is. This moisturizer spreads over my facial skin very smoothly and quickly, I needed just a single drop for my whole face. My skin was moisturized and fresh throughout the day, however oily skins may feel it a bit greasy. My mom tried this product and said it made her fine lines vanish a little. So overall, its a good product for normal to dry and mature skins as per the claim. I can’t reduce ratings for the greasy feel as they doesn’t claim for “Oily skins”. but girls! Cheer up. There are many more variants in this range, check out their site for more info.
PROS
  1. Yummy butterscotch colour and smooth texture. The texture is perfect for a moisturizer.
  2. A good sandalwood + turmeric fragrance which I could really feel.
  3. Very affordable as you get a huge quantity for 220 bucks. You can get it more cheaper from leading online shopping sites. A single bottle will last for ages. A great buy!
  4. Hygienic and travel friendly pump bottle packaging.
  5. Doesn’t show any side effects on my skin.
  6. Made my skin tight and soft with regular usage. 
  7. Reduces fine lines up to an extent has the ingredients have anti-aging properties.
  8. Sandalwood and Turmeric are the main ingredients. What natural you want more than these?!
  9. Great shelf life of 3 years.
  10. This is really a boon for dry and mature skins in all the seasons.
  11. Fresh and lovely fragrance.
CONS
  1. Availability is the only problem though you can easily get it from leading online shopping sites in great discounts.
My Recommendation: Dry skins would love it and stick to it! Perfect for normal skins in winter. And oily people, not for you. Try the other variants from this range.
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Will I repurchase?: Sure. A single bottle will last for ages though 😛

Auravedic Facial Skin Repair Moisturizing Lotion Review

8 Replies
Pollution, dirt and mistakes in daily diet routine make our skin look dull, lifeless and aged. To recover from all these skin issues, we need a good nourishing skin repair lotion. It should nourish our skin, penetrate deeper and work to clarify the skin issues. Today, I am reviewing a Facial Skin Repair Moisturizing lotion from Auravedic. We have already seen the review of Pulpy almond honey face wash from this brand and this is my second using product from them. I am so much impressed of this product at first sight for the “Skin Repair” claim. Who doesn’t like their skin to be perfect? So, I have been using this cream for past few days and now comes my review.

Kokum butter, Mango butter, Beeswax, Sunflower Olive Oil, Almond oil, Grape seed extract, Olivem 1000, Oilwax, Neroli Oil, Purified water, Phenoxyethanol.

The Packaging
This product comes in a thick transparent plastic bottle with a press type inner lid and a silver coloured screw cap. The cap is stiff, hence this becomes travel friendly. And it would be easier for you to find how much product is left inside because of its transparency. I think you need to put a hole in the center of the inner lid in order to take the lotion out. I feel it a bit tricky and expecting some more easier packaging from Auravedic like tubes or squeeze types. Thank god it’s not a tub! Hygienic bottle it is!
4/5
Colour, Consistency and Fragrance
The lotion is milk white in colour with a normal to runny consistency and smooth texture. To say about the fragrance, really I can’t express it properly. It’s a bit floral, bit herbal and a bit medicinal too. The fragrance is not fruity or sweet but still it has a bearable natural smell. Sensitive noses may feel a bit heavy but the smell gets milder few minutes after the application.

After Applying
How it works on Me
I squeezed a bit of lotion in my palm, dotted it all over my facial skin and started to massage. The lotion got absorbed quickly without leaving much greasy feel(but oily skins may feel a bit greasier) and it also doesn’t leave any whitish caste over my facial skin. After few minutes, the greasy feel and the fragrance vanished. Then my skin felt so soft, smooth and nourished!  With regular use, it made my pores tighten and also helped in improving the texture of my skin. This is what I experienced with this facial skin repair lotion. As I don’t have any wrinkles or fine lines, I can’t say about this part but my aunt who used this felt it helps her wrinkles too. So, I guess it has anti aging properties also. Overall, I would say that it’s a great pick for dry skins, normal skins (Night usage is best) and I don’t think this will work on oily skins. The lotion doesn’t break me out and doesn’t give me any other side effects. It does what it claims because I really saw a good improvement over my skin’s texture. Worth a try!
4.5/5

PROS
  1. Smooth texture which spreads easily over the skin.
  2. Contains natural ingredients like almond oil, olive oil and kokum butter.
  3. It is mentioned on the pack to use it 2-3 times a day, so I guess it’s too light and natural over facial skin.
  4. No side effects. No break outs.
  5. Comes in a economical price for the good quantity.
  6. Tightens pores and improves the softness and elasticity of the skin.
  7. Works as a great moisturizer for dry skins. 
  8. Keeps skin nourished for long hours even though the texture is so light.
  9. No animal testing 😀 😀
  10. A single bottle lasts really long as a tiny squeeze of lotion is enough for the whole face and neck. So, I would say it as an affordable buy.
CONS
  1. Not for oily skins as it may give a slight oily feel. I am not sure about it, you can still try this lotion in dry winters.
  2. Packaging can be little improved. (Can’t be taken a con, because it comes in a very hygienic bottle)
  3. The fragrance can even be little milder. So that sensitive noses will feel it good. 

My Recommendation: A big yes for dry skins, normal skins and matured skins. It retains the skin’s elasticity as it claims. Also acts as a great moisturizer for extremely dry skins. Not a must product for oilies, yet do try it in dry winters.


Overall Rating: 4/5 
Will I repurchase?: Sure! 🙂 In winters and springs. A single bottle lasts really long though.
