Shelf Life: 3 years from the date of packaging

My Opinion: - I have already reviewed Garnier Pureactive Neem Face Wash and Garnier Light Eye Roll On and today I am here to review Garnier Light Daily Moisturiser SPF 15. Lets come to the packaging first, this day cream comes in a beautiful yellow plastic jar with a white plastic screw on lid. Upon opening the jar there is no stopper or protective lid to prevent the cream from coming in contact with the lid, it will surely become messy while travelling. So I did not carry it while travelling last week. Also I would prefer a tube packaging over this jar.

                The fragrance is very mild lemony which disappears a few mintues after application. I would not say the fragrance is great or something but it is bearable. The texture is creamy but not greasy or oily and the consistency is thick. This day cream comes with SPF 15 which is a plus point and I don't need to slather on another product (sunscreen) on my face.

               I wash my face with Garnier PureActive Neem Face Wash and use a little amount of cream just enough for my face and neck. If I tend to add   more cream to ensure even application on my face and neck then it balls up giving a very untidy/dirty look. It gives a white cast which can be seen very clearly. This cream is easy to spread and sits on my skin, doesn't prenetrate my skin. This cream takes time to seep into my skin.

               This cream keeps my skin oil free and that it the biggest advantage of this product. In an air-conditioned environment, it keeps my skin shine-free for many hours but in a non air-conditioned environment this cream gives me a shiny look after 2-2 1/2 hours but nothing my Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Compact can't take care of. The very first day I thought the shine is because of greasiness but I was wrong, its just shine and not greasy-ness. Now one big problem is that is leaves a visibly white cast on my skin which vanishes after about 30-45 mins.

  
               This Garnier Light Daily Moisturiser is truly moisturising but beauties with dry skin please stay away as it is a dry type of cream suitable for "oilies" like me. I do not know how it would behave in the peak of summers. This cream is extremely affordable and I am using for more than a month now but I didn't break out or had any skin problems because of it. This cream will be with me for around 1 more month as a very little is required for each use. It does not acts as a good base as most foundations are a little difficult to blend when using this cream.

Pros: -


* Affordable and Easily Available

* Comes with SPF 15

* Moisturises my skin

* Very little is required for each application

* Keeps my skin grease-free

* Fragrance is mild lemony which should not irritate sensitive noses as well

* Contains Vitamin C, Long Dan Extract and Glycerin which are all great news for skin



Cons: -


* Balls up if a little more is used than normally required

* Takes time to sink into my skin, sits on top

*  Gives artificial whitish look upon application which vanishes with time


* Skin type is not mentioned anywhere, its not for dry/normal skin types

* Contains Parabens (though I am paranoid about Parabens some people hate the very word)



                I rate Garnier Light Daily Moisturiser SPF 15 3.75 out of 5. I will definitely finish off this jar but I will never repurchase it. I request dry skin people to stay away. If you have oily skin and you stay at home mostly than do give it a try. I like Garnier as a brand and I must say I am disappointed with  this daily moisturiser.



             Hope this review was of some help to you, please do share with us your experience with Garnier Light Products. Thank you and have a rocking weekend :D

EverYuth Skin Essential Moisturising Creme- REVIEW

Company Says:- EverYuth Skin Essential Moisturising Creme is enriched with a unique combination of Natural 'Skin Essential Oils' that helps replenish the natural oils and maintain the moisture level of your skin, giving your skin a smooth, nourished and non-greasy look. Natural 'Skin Essential Oils' are rich in EFA (Essential Fatty Acids), known for their proven skin softening and nourishing properties.

Ingredients:- Water, Liquid Paraffin, Glyceryl Mono Stearate, Isopropyl Myristate, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerol Monostearate, n Poly Oxyethelene Stearate, Sunflower Oil, Fragrance, Wheat Germ Oil, Dimethicone, Apricot Kernel Oil, Aloe Vera, Almond Oil, Triethanalamine, Xanthan Gum, Methyl Paraben, Imidazolidinyl, Urea, Lanolin, Vitamin E Acetate, Propyl Paraben, Disodium EDTA, BHT.

Directions for Use:- For smoother and softer skin, massage on to your face and neck, morning and night.

Suitability:- Suitable for all skin types.

My Opinion:- The severe cold in Delhi is turning my oily skin into combination skin :P So I thought of trying a couple of products suited for combination skin types. Actually after washing my cheeks felt a little stretched so I planned to try out this moisturising creme. On opening the tub I found out a protective foil on top, removed it and took in the fragrance, it smelt like almond oil, nice and mild. So I dug up a blob and initially thought that it had a heavy consistency and thick texture somewhat like Johnson's Baby Cream. But then when I started applying it on dots on my face and neck, I proved myself wrong. Surprisingly it was light and watery in texture, this I found out when I spread it all over my face and neck. It got absorbed into my skin real fast not leaving behind any greasiness.

              But after application the scent changed to that of fresh sunflowers- yuck- I hate it so much. This cream disappeared into my skin without effort and my skin felt light- no heaviness was noted. I haven't broken out and my T-zone hasn't become oilier or greasier. The cream evaporates and gives me the right kind of moisturising all day long. I like this product as it stays on for hours and gives me very soft skin. I had never used EverYuth Product before but my first brush with it is pleasant enough.

Pros:- Non-greasy, haven't broken me out, super cheap, very moisturising, does what it claims.

Cons:- No UV protection, contains Paraben, have to sanitize my hands before digging up a blob of this cream as it comes in a tub.

          I rate this product 4 out of 5. No its not a must have for me and I would prefer trying other brands.
