Aroma Magic Neem & Tea Tree face wash Review

Hi everyone, today I’m going to review a yet another skin care product for combination to oily skin, named Aroma Magic Neem & Tea Tree face wash for acne control and oil balancing. I’ve a combination skin & open pores.  I couldn’t resist myself from getting Aroma Magic Neem & Tea tree Face wash when I saw it at a store. Yes it’s difficult to find original Aroma Magic products in Kathmandu valley; I got this at Khichapokhari, KTM 


Aroma Magic is a trusted & well-known name in the world of skin, hair and wellness products. They create environmental friendly products using high quality natural ingredients. As the name suggests, Aroma Magic Neem & Tea tree face wash is enriched with the goodness of Neem and tea tree oil. Both of them are excellent natural skin care ingredient. So, naturally I had high expectation out of this face wash. 






What the product says:
I am 100% free of parabens, soap, alcohol, artificial coloring & fragrance. I cure acne with my Neem & rose extracts. I help prevent black heads and soothe skin irritations with my blend of tea tree & lavender essential oils. The vitamins in me lighten scars, blemishes & improve skin tone. 

How to use:
Apply to moist face & neck. Massage & rinse off properly. 

Caution:
Sunscreen essential. Avoid use on dry, sensitive skin.

Ingredients:
Aqua, lauryl glucoside, glyceryl oleate, melaleuca alternifolia oil, azadirachta indica extract, hydroxypropyltrimonium honey, fruit derived beta carotene, lavandula angustifolia oil & citrus medica limonum extract.  

Price:
Rs 170 Nrs. for 100 ml.

Shelf life:
3 years. 

My Experience :
Aroma Magic Neem & Tea tree face wash comes in an inverted light green, transparent bottle. I feel the packaging to be really cute
I’m using this face wash from one month and I’m almost done with my first tube and looking forward to buy another one soon. This face wash has a strong tea tree oil fragrance that is very refreshing. It has a light green color and has a running consistency. A small quantity is enough to wash face and neck. It does not work up into rich lather, but is able to clean all skin impurities. I usually use this face wash during mornings and it’s refreshing fragrance makes me ready for the day ahead.

The face wash comes in a green colored translucent tube with a flip-flop cap that close easily. I found the packaging to be really cute; the see-through tube helps to keep an eye on how much product is left.  There is no leakage problem and hence it is quite safe for traveling. It is a gel type face wash with a runny consistency. The color is very sweet, transparent with a light greenish. This face wash has a strong tea tree oil fragrance that is very refreshing. It does not work up into rich lather, because the product is in gel form, it requires a little more than usual to give sufficient lather, but is able to clean all skin impurities and light makeup.
I generally take a liberal amount of this face wash on my palm and then gently massage it all over my face and neck about a minute and then rinse it off using water. My oily skin feels dry after using this face wash, so toning and moisturisation must for me after using it.
This face wash is free of paraben, soap, alcohol. It claims to cure acne and it exactly does that. I didn't notice any remarkable change in the dark spots or existing acne.

What I Like :
  • Reasonable pricing
  • Translucent packaging with a secure flip-flop cap
  • Contains herbal ingredients like neem, tea tree oil, lavender & rose extracts which are all great natural ingredients for skin
  • Gel texture and free from colorant
  • Cures acne & Reduces acne scars
  • Good for normal to oily skin especially in the extreme heat.
  • Provides a mild glow.
  • Makes skin squeaky clean
  • Keeps skin oil free for 3-4 hours
  • Cruelty free
  • Free of paraben, alcohol & soap
  • Not tested on animals
  • Soothes irritation
  •  Removes light make up

What I Dislike:
  • Runny consistency many times more than required amount comes out
  • Not good for dry skin
  • Weird smell but not long lasting
  • Doesn't help much with dark spots in spite of regular use
  • Not effective for makeup removal

Nivea

Nivea White Repair Pore Minimiser Mud foam



Description
NIVEA* EXTRA WHITE REPAIR PORE MINIMIZER FOAM
For extra dull skin with extra large pores, with regular use of make-up.

Harsh make-up removers may contain acidic ingredients that cause the skin to become thinner, making it more prone to dullness and enlarged pores. NIVEA* EXTRA WHITE REPAIR Pore MINIMIZER Foam cleanses away impurities and 10 make-up residues to minimize appearance of acne, large pores and dark spots, without containing skin thinning ingredients.


What is Claims
Cleanses away impurities.
Recuces the appearence acne and dark spots.
Doesn't thin skin.
 Minimizes pores.
Whitens skin with Pearl-Whitening complex.

The product is white and has a thick consistency. Dry, it's difficult to spread but once water is added, there's no problem. This product has the classic Nivea smell but it doesn't smell as regal. The scent isn't overpowering and it won't linger once you've washed your face.

This didn't gave me any breakouts. It works a bit better than my my old cleansers and could give a promising result as long as used consistently.

I really love it. I think I am going to stick to this cleanser because I truly feel that it does what it claims. I really hate my clogged pores and for me, I think this works in greatly reducing the amount of clogged pores on my face. It's also not too drying for me as I moisturize and mask my face regularly too.
Recommend? Yes. If you have big pores and oily skin, this might work for you. However, don't expect a miracle in a short span of time.

Rate: 4.5/5

Pond's Age Miracle Deep Action Night Cream Review


Hello everyone,

This is my first post in this blog and I am happy to share my experience with you.
Since last few months I was looking for a nice anti ageing cream who delay the first sing of premature ageing, because of sun expose and lake of proper skin care I start open pores problem. Therefore my journey start Olay, Nivea, Himalaya Herbal and  Garnier  Age lift I use all but there no change on my open pores.

My previous cream was Garnier Age lift which I bought from ground floor of UWTC, Tripureshwor, Kathmandu. This cream turn my fair and smooth face into pimple prone skin.

Now I bought Pond’s age miracle Deep Action Night Cream from Pond’s Age miracle rang, its only 5 days I am using it and this is my first review on it. I will update my review once I finish this bottle. 


What company claim: 
The rich texture of this Deep Action Night Cream instantly melts into skin to intensely accelerate the renewal process at night – when cells’ regeneration potential is at its peak. Wake up to an astonishingly younger looking skin. Unlock your youth potential, make them guess your real age.

Price: 
i bought this is 700 Nepali Rupees from Bhat Bhateni, Maharaj gunj. 

Ingredients:
Water, Dimthicone, cyclopentasiloxane, Glycerin, Caprylyl Methicone, Tin Oxide, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Ammonium Lactate, Potassium Chloride, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Sucrose Distearate, Titanium Dioxide/Dimethicone, Acrylates Crosspolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Stearyl Dimethicone, Parfum, Stearic Acid, CI 17200, Magnesium Sulfate, Cholesterol, Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, DMDM Hydantoin, Isomerized Linoleic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Seed Oil, Acetamide MEA, Octadecene, Retinyl Palmitate, Cetyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Helianthus Annuus ( Sunflower) BHT

Packing:  
It comes in a round glass pot with two layer lid. The packaging is very feminine but a bit bulky. It is not travel friendly and if you slip from hand then it’s just waste of money. Pot is cute but heavy. 



Fragrance:
The cream has a mild flowery fragrance which is good. 


My Experience : 

I am always on a lookout for matte effect cream which suites on my oily skin. first thing is its give you totally matte effect but melt in your skin so smoothly after apply there nothing left besides soft brighten skin. this cream have a very mild and refreshing fragrance and  baby pink color. It can be a good makeup based in evening, main thing which i like in it is ‘Brighten” effect.  
here we go on negative side it will start making your face oily after one and half hour and so on depend on how much oil your face is but it’s not a big deal for me because it’s a night cream and normally night cream thicker and have amount of  oil value in it.  
today my 6 days I am using it and there no changes i find in my open pores and fine line but hope for good. 



 Plus point:
  1. Bright skin tone
  2. matte effect 
  3. for all skin type
  4. affordable price for good and branded anti ageing cream
  5. make skin soft in morning  


 Negative point:

Rating: 4/5

Final prediction: I will write update review once this pot above to finish.
