No Scars Cream Review

Hello Everyone!

Today's full review is going to be about the No Scars Cream by Torque. Since I have been going through my acne and  it's scars phase, I have been giving all these scar treatments cream a try. I have been using No Scars Cream for about more than a year now, so read on more how this product worked for my skin.

About the Product:


Double action remedy for hyper-pigmentation that helps reduce and remove scars, marks, blemishes, post pimple scars, stretch marks, dark circles under the eyes and burn scars. 

Directions:

Apply and massage gently till the cream is fully absorbed. The quantum of the cream to be applied will depend on the extent of absorption in the skin and the area to be applied to. Only one application is advised and at bed time. Do not allow the cream to enter eyes and mouth. Discontinue the use if skin irritation occurs. 

Composition:


Hydroquinone U.S.P. 2% w/w, Tretinoin B.P. 0.025% w/w, Mometasone Furoate I.P. 0.10% w/w In a cream base q.s.

Price:

Rs. 144 for 20 g.

Shelf Life:

2 years. 

My take on No Scars Cream:


The cream comes with a typical tube packaging. The color of the cream is white in color with a pretty thick consistency. The fragrance is quite bearable like most of the other ointments for face. After getting rid of my acne, it left its post acne scars and marks on my cheeks area and no home remedies was doing the job. I finally saw this cream and gave it a shot. You will see this cream working after the first application itself. I apply it during the night time before going to bed and can see the results the very next day, after washing off my face. No doubt its makes your skin super sensitive later, but after giving it some time and proper care, it will definitely lighten your scars and marks and also reduce pimples to a large extent. Also three things to take care of, first, while application don't just focus on the effected area, but the whole face or else it will leave your skin looking patchy. Second, don't apply this product if you have to go out on a daily basis, since it will leave your skin looking flaky and super sensitive. I suggest you to apply it during your holidays, when you just decide to be home and chill. Last but not the least, avoid any kind of face wash or make up on it, it will leave your skin feeling worse. Also don't rub your skin hard to take the flakes off, rather apply Vaseline, let it sit into your skin for sometime and then take a damp cloth and scrub it gently. In this way the dead skin will come out easily. Another thing that I would like to add, don't use the product over and over when your skin is sensitive after one application, let it heal and repair by it's own and then go for the second application if needed. 

Pros of No Scars Cream:

  • Reduces scars and marks.
  • Reduces the size of the pimples.
  • Lightens your skin tone.
  • Removes dead skin.
  • Travel-friendly.
  • Affordable.
  • Easily available.
  • Starts working on the first application itself.

Cons of No Scars Cream:

  • Leaves your skin dry and flaky.
  • Makes your skin super sensitive.
  • Leaves your skin patchy if not applied evenly.
  • Can cause irritation if applied any other products after its application.


ACB Rating:
 
3/5

Will I repurchase No Scars Cream:

Now that I know the trick to take care of my skin after it's application. Definitely a thumbs up, also I'm on my third tube. 

Do I recommend No Scars Cream:

Yes, absolutely. Give it a go it you think you can follow my take on it well. Results will be on its way. 

Have an amazing day! More power to you!

Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack Review

Hello Everyone!

Today's review is about the Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack for pimple-prone skin. As I mentioned in my earlier post, about how I tried out everything to get rid off my acne. This product was definitely one them, as it mentions face pack for pimple-prone skin straight on it's package. Read on more to find out how well this product worked for me.

About the Product:


Anti-bacterial, purifying Neem Face Pack regulates excess oil secretion, cleans clogged pores and prevents recurrence of pimples. Improves skin texture and imparts a natural glow. Neem, well known for its anti-bacterial properties, helps in controlling acne and pimples, and their recurrence. Further, when combined with Turmeric, it effectively eliminates acne-causing bacteria. Fuller's Earth cools and soothes the skin.

Directions:

Apply evenly to cleansed face & neck avoiding area around eyes. Allow to dry for 10-15 min. Remove with wet sponge & wash the skin with cool water. If required, follow up with Himalaya Herbals Face Moisturizing Lotion. 

Ingredients: 

Nimba (Neem), Panka (Fuller's Earth), Haridra (Turmeric).


Price:

Rs. 170 for 200 g and Rs. 60 for 50 g.

Shelf Life:

3 years. 

My take on Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack:


The face pack comes in a typical Himalaya Herbals white tube with a green flip-top cap. The color of this Neem face pack can be said as muddy dark green and it has a gritty texture and appropriate consistency. The fragrance is quite strong of neem and fuller's earth, might bother if you have sensitive nose but I personally like it. It cleans up the dirt and impurities well as later while washing it has got a gritty texture to it which acts well as a scrub too. Since I didn't wanted to add much products to my face routine fearing new break outs, this product controls them to a large extent which is definitely a yay! You might end up having a tingly feeling right after applying the face pack but that's completely normal since that's how the ingredients work on your skin. 

Pros of Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack:

  • Acts as face pack as well as scrub.
  • Removes dirt and impurities well.
  • Dries off quickly and comes off well while washing. 
  • Travel friendly, neat packaging.
  • Affordable.
  • Easily available.
  • Glides on face well.
  • No chemicals.

Cons of Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack:
  
  • Tingly sensation after applying.

ACB Rating:

4/5  

Will I repurchase Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack:

Yes, for sure. It's a part of my skin care routine now.

Do I recommend Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack:

TOTALLY!

Have an amazing day! More power to you!

Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash Review

Hello Everyone!

So I had been going through a bad acne phase since past one year from now. The point when I started breaking out, I might have literally tried out all kind of budget friendly products to tame them down, but nothing really worked for me. Then finally I decided to consult a dermatologist and that's when the medicines did start working. Few months later the acne completely went off but it left some deep scars along with few bumps on my face. That's when I started looking for some good face wash, as I didn't wanted to put anything more than that on my face. I saw this Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face wash at a store and wanted to give this a try. Read on more to find out about this face wash.

About the Product:

A gentle yet effective face wash that helps treat pimples from first use and prevents spreading. It's gentle Neem-Lemon formula works well on pimple prone skin & reveals smoother, clearer skin in 7 days with daily use. 

Directions:

Apply a small amount on wet palm and work into a rich lather. Gently massage onto face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off thoroughly. Use twice daily for skin that's clean, clear and beautiful.

Ingredients:

Water, Triethanolamine, Glycerin, MyristicAcid, Lauric Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Fragrance, o-Cymen-5-ol, BHT, Benzophenone 4, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Passiflora Edulis Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Yellow 10, Cl 61570.


Price: 

Rs. 99 for 80 ml and Rs. 55 for 40 ml.

Shelf Life:

24 months.

My take on Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash:




This face wash comes in a green translucent inverted packaging with a flip-top cap. 
It is a transparent light green in color and the consistency is appropriate, neither too thick nor too runny. It lathers well. It cleanses the skin well and removes oil and light make up from the face. However, it does leave stretchy feel to my skin and hence applying a moisturizer after using this face wash is must for me. Can see my face glowing after washing it with this face wash. It has a normal citrusy fragrance to it which is good enough for me. It's been one month I have been using this face wash on a regular basis and I can see no new break outs, also the little bumps on my skin are clearing out well. I finished my first tube and now I'm on my second. Not likely to work on large pimples but does prevent the skin from getting new ones. I am not sure if it would have the same effect on your skin too because we all know that effect of face washes vary from person to person. But you can definitely give it go if you don't have larger acne issues.


Pros of Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash:
  • Removes light make up and leaves the skin clean.
  • Gives a glow to the face.
  • Removes oil from the face and keeps it oil free for 2-4 hours.
  • Appropriate consistency.
  • Prevents new break outs.
  • Clears off small pimples.
  • Travel-friendly, neat packaging.
  • Affordable. 
  • Easily available.
Cons of Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash: 
  • Leaves the skin feeling stretchy. Application of a moisturizer is must for me after using it. 
  • Didn't fight acne scars or marks.  
  • Neem is not mentioned in the ingredients as focused on the package.  
ACB Rating: 

3.5/5

Will I repurchase Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash:

Yes. On my second tube right now as I mentioned.

Do I recommend Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash:

The effect of face washes vary from person to person, so it might work for you as it did for me.
Also only if you are looking to prevent new break outs or to treat smaller bumps on your face. 

Have a nice day! More power to you! :)
