Hello ladies! So I have an HG eye liner, an HG lip balm, kajal and mascara, but somehow, I have never found a moisturizer that I thought was irreplaceable. So I keep juggling between random Nivea, Avon and Vaseline moisturizers. I picked up yet another new one the other day and it is the Vaseline Healthy White Lightening Visible Fairness Lotion so that’s what I’ll be reviewing today. 🙂

Price and Quantity:

Rs 75 for 100 ml

My Take on Vaseline Healthy White Lightening Visible Fairness Lotion:

The lotion comes in a typical flat bottle packaging that most Vaseline moisturizers come in. It is a plastic bottle with a flip open cap. I don’t like the fact that the product accumulates at the mouth of the bottle, it is really messy.

It has a very light weight texture and feels quite smooth on the skin; it also blends in seamlessly and with minimal effort. The lotion has a pink tint to it and a pleasant fragrance (again characteristic of Vaseline lotions).

Now, the instant fairness claim is pretty tall and honestly I didn’t expect it to be true. So why did I buy this lotion? I don’t know if any of you girls have noticed (or maybe it’s just me who has this problem), but after applying moisturizer, my skin always looks darker. I don’t know whether it’s because my skin is hydrated and hence a bit greasy, but it definitely looks a shade darker. So that’s why the ‘instant fairness’ claim appealed to me. And in that aspect, this lotion doesn’t disappoint. My skin looks moisturized yet not darker. I think it may be because of the pink tint of the lotion.

Why I like this Body Lotion?:

• Light texture
• Blends very easily into the skin
• Lightens skin very slightly on application (probably because it is tinted)
• Reasonable price
• Moisturizes skin, especially good for the summer months when a light moisturizer is required
• Pleasant fragrance

Why I don’t like this Body Lotion?:

• Does not lighten skin
• Says it has ‘triple sunscreens’ but doesn’t mention exact sun protection
• Will not be moisturizing enough for very dry skin or in winters
• Product tends to accumulate at the mouth of the bottle

MABH Rating: 2.5/5

Final word:

If you’re looking for a product that gives you instant fairness, this is NOT it. The instant fairness claim is true only to a tiny extent because of the tint in the moisturizer, but it disappears very quickly. That said, this lotion still has many positives and it can serve as a pocket-friendly everyday moisturizer if that is what you are looking for.

Will I repurchase?: 

Yes I may, unless I find something better. However I am yet to discover my HG moisturizer! :/

Hope you girls liked this review!

Hi my friends,

How are you all doing? The weather is getting pleasant again and I totally love it. It’s a good change from the usually scorching sun 🙂 Rain or shine, our body needs constant pampering. Of all parts, skin is exposed the most. Moisturizing is a mandatory step in skin care no matter what. I have been using this body lotion for quite a while and I thought it was the right time to review it.

Ingredients:

Price and Quantity: 

Rs. 149 for 300 ml

My Take:

The lotion comes in a solid green plastic bottle. The flip type cap is easy to use. Though it is not a pump style dispenser, too much product does not come out of it which is great.

Aloe vera is what drew me to this product and its presence is evident from the fragrance. It is so refreshing and smells good. The fragrance stays on for an hour or two at the maximum. The lotion is white in color; the consistency is so light and spreads over the skin like dream. The product is water based and this makes absorption effortless. The skin is soft and supple after applying and I can feel my skin has had its dose of moisture for the day.

Since my skin is not very dry, this moisturizer is the perfect bet for me. It is also a good buy during the summers because of aloe vera. Dry skinned people will not be satisfied with this lotion; they will be better off with something else particularly meant for their skin type. If it had sun protection, it would have been really great. But since it is a moisturizer that does a decent job, let’s look past it.

Why I like?:

• Good moisturizing effect
• Fresh fragrance
• Light and non sticky
• Paraben-free
• Very affordable price

Why I don’t like?:

• Not suitable for very dry skin. There is nothing else I could find wrong with this.

Rating: 4.5/5

Final Verdict:

I absolutely adore it. I suggest you grab this product if you are looking for a fresh and light moisturizer for your body.
