Auravedic Age Repair Pomegranate Grapeseed Face Polish

Hello Friends!
Today I am going to review another awesome product from Auravedic which I am regularly using these days.
What the Company Says?
Premium ingredients, natural extracts and essential oils blend together to create a delightfully invigorating polish. Ground Pomegranate and Grape seeds gently exfoliate and detoxify. Antioxidants in Green Tea , Kiwi and Pomegranate extracts help keep skin looking young and healthy. Gentle enough to use everyday.

Free of Parabens, SLS, Harmful Chemicals & Colors.

Ingredients:
Kokum Butter, Beeswax, Pomegranate extract, Grapeseed extract, Green Tea extract, Jojoba Oil, Ylang ylang oil, Pomegranate seeds, Sunflower oil, Polymer granules , Olivem 1000, Purified water, Pomegranate perfume.

Due to high concentration of natural extracts, essential oils and floral waters, this product may not be suitable for all skin types.

Price: Rs 300 for 100 grams

Variants Available:
-Amla Tamarind Skin Brightening Face Polish
-Sandalwood and Turmeric Skin Lightening Face Polish. 






My Take On This Product:
Its been nearly a month I am using this face polish regularly.I have used Lotus herbals Orange and Alpine salts Face Polish before, but I found the Auravedic Face polish very different from that of Lotus one. Auravedic Face polish comes in a plastic tub with a screw cap and a plastic separator to prevent spillage.On the tub you get several information regarding the usage of the product including ingredient list and benefits of using the product.As soon as you open the separator, you get nice yummy fragrance almost similar to Strawberry flavored curd which I used to have at Kolkata.Seriously the fragrance is good that I felt like eating it up.  :p 

The face polish is creamy, smooth and rich in butters.It has very less quantity of granules which gently exfoliate my skin without being getting abrasive. This face polish is more of a mask than a face polish I would say.It can be used daily as it keeps my skin very soft, supple and moisturized. Many a times I massage it on my face, keep it on for 5-7 minutes and then wash it off with warm water.This way this face polish shrinks my pores, brightens my face and makes it glow.Regular use of this product has somehow improved my skin texture and my skin feels glowy and bright without any makeup.Though I don't have fine lines, still I think it will keep the fine lines and aging signs at bay because it maintains the optimum hydration level of my skin which is the most important factor for younger looking skin. This product is really unique and I would definitely recommend it to people with normal to dry skin.

  



Pros Of The Product:
-It contains all natural extracts like grape seed, pomegranate and green tea extracts, jojoba oil and ylang ylang oil.
-Grape seed is used which is considered as a potent anti-aging ingredient since a long time.
-Its consistency is almost like whipped cream with very fine granules.
-Its Paraben Free and also does not contain artificial colors.
-It makes my skin very soft, supple and hydrated.
-It can be used daily without affecting our skin as it does not feel abrasive and is more like a facial butter.
-I have also used it like a facial mask and it really brightens my skin leaving nice healthy glow on skin.
-With regular use, skin becomes firm and younger looking. 
-It has got an yummy fragrance, almost similar to strawberry flavored curd.
-The tub is sturdy and spill proof, hence its travel friendly too.
-Its going to last me for a long time. 
-These days available at several online shopping sites.
-Never broke me out.
-Though it contains concentrated fruit acids, still it never stung me and I feel this is very much suitable for sensitive skin too. 
-Two other variants are available too. 

Cons Of The Product:
-It may sound pricy for many people.
-Its very buttery, smooth with very less quantity of granules, hence not like a typical face polish.
-It does not remove blackheads and whiteheads effectively.
-To experience anti aging benefits one should regularly use this product, effects cant be seen with few usage.
-Not available at stores and can be purchased online only. 
-Tub packaging is unhygienic.
-May not suit oily skin people.

Rating:
Quality- 4.75 out of 5
Price- 3.75 out of 5
Effectiveness: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 3.75 out of 5
Availability: 2.5 out of 5 
Overall Rating: 3.75 out of 5

Will I repurchase it? I have already purchased their another variant ' Sandalwood Turmeric Skin Lightening Face polish.'

My Overall Recommendation: Though this face polish is meant for aging skin, still young people with normal to dry skin people can use it regularly.With regular usage this product makes skin soft, supple and healthy looking.

Auravedic Honey Almond Pulpy Face Wash

Hello Friends!
Today I am going to review Auravedic Honey Almond Pulpy Face wash.So sweeties go through my review to know more about this unique facial cleanser.


What the Company claims: This pure moisturizing Face Wash combines honey and sweet almond oil, providing a luxurious blend, gently cleansing, nourishing and rejuvenating the skin, leaving it feel refreshed and invigorated, ready to tackle the day.

Directions for use : Scoop on to fingertips and gently massage over skin before rinsing it off.

Ingredients: Jojoba oil, Almond oil, Rose oil, Saffron extract, Geranium oil, Neroli oil, Khus oil, Honey, Coconut fatty acid, Triathanolamine, Phenoxyethanol.


Price: Rs 150 for 50 Grams, Rs 250 for 100 Grams.

Variants Available:
-Rose Saffron Pulpy Face Wash
-Neem Tea Tree Pulpy Face Wash




My Take On This Product:
Auravedic Honey and Almond Cleanser comes in a white tub with a screw cap and a plastic separator that prevents the cleanser from spilling or spreading to the cap. Once you open the separator , you can see the cleanser is brown colored and has fruit jam kind of consistency. Initially you get a strong burst of fruity fragrance changing to strong coconut oil kind fragrance. The cleanser is very thick, dense and concentrated. One needs just a pea nut sized quantity for cleansing face. It contains concentrated fruit acids so one should not bring it near eyes. Its very strong and stings a lot if enters eyes by chance. I found this cleanser very unique, I have never seen anything like this before. Whenever I use it and apply on my face, it forms a waxy film which when comes in contact with water results in soft lather. 


This product is free of SLS and any kind of harmful preservative. Without a foaming base, I thought it wont be able to cleanse properly, but I was absolutely wrong. It not only cleanses my face properly, but leaves it squeaky clean and yet does not strip my skin of moisture even results in smooth and baby soft skin. I have observed after using this product there is visible reduction in appearance of pores remarkably. I really like everything about this cleanser except the following two things:

1-With regular use, product comes out while placing the separator cap back and accumulates near the mouth of jar thus making it messy and unhygienic.

2-I am a person who is always in a hurry and thus do not prefer to use separate cleansers for face and eyes. 







  
Pros Of The Product:
-Its free of SLS and harmful preservatives.
-This cleanser is rich in fruit acids, Almond and Honey extracts.
-Produces mild lather yet leaves skin squeaky clean.
-Removes facial makeup too.
-Makes my skin smooth and baby soft.
-Significantly reduces the appearance of pores.
-Removes temporary tans too leaving brighter complexion.
-Packaging is quite sturdy.
-Considering the amount required for each wash and the quality of the product, price is reasonable.
-Available now at several shopping websites.
-Never broke me out or made my skin dry.
-It maintains the optimum oil- moisture balance of the skin.

Cons Of The Product:
-It stings a lot if it enters your eyes by chance.
-With regular use, the tub becomes messy and unhygienic.
-Not easily available at departmental stores.
-Quantity should have been more.
-It feels cumbersome to use a separate cleanser for eyes.
-May not suit sensitive skin.

Will I repurchase it? I want to try their another variant- Rose Saffron Pulpy face wash.

My Overall Recommendation: Auravedic Honey Almond Face wash is a very mild cleanser free from SLS and other harmful preservatives. It leaves my skin smooth, soft and removes mild tan. This cleanser contains concentrated fruit acids and therefore should not be used near eyes. If you do not mind tub packaging and the price factor then you should definitely go for this.Quality wise, its one of the best cleansers I have ever used.
