My Experience:
My friend uses Oriflame Avocado & Aloe Vera Foot Cream & since I forgot to carry my foot cream to work, I borrowed hers.

I applied this cream in the morning, had bath at night before retiring to bed. And next day when I got up, my feet were still so baby soft.
The Moisturisation stays on your feet even after having bath.
The intense moisturising effect could be due to the presence of Urea, which is known to soften hard, tough skin.

Pros:
Best foot cream compared to all other foot creams in the market.

Cons:
Expensive
Does not spread or get absorbed easily, have to rub in, so takes some time.
Cannot be used during the day when you have any work, you need to rest your feet for some time for the greasy cream to be absorbed.

  • This is a facial cleanser for oily, Pimple prone skin.
  • Though i have combination skin, it tends to become oily if not cleaned deeply.
  • So this face wash works on my skin like no other.
  • It lathers quite well with a small quantity.
  • Its better to use this face wash only when your skin is very oily, when you come back home from pollution and after being out in the sun for long. Good to avoid it if your at home & can use some mild face wash.

Ponds Oil Control Talc Review


Ponds Oil Control Talc Review

Hi Girls, this is my first review and it’s about Ponds Oil Control Talc.
First let me tell u I have combination skin with normal to Oily (Nose & sometimes forehead also)
I don’t use much creams on my face because nearly anything I put on my face makes it oily.

Price – Rs.45 for 100 grams

Key IngredientsSalicylic acid, Zinc Oxide (Sunscreen) & Talc.

So I never used talc. My friend was using it so I just tried it accidentally & realized it was great for a matte look. So Ponds Oil Control Talc has orange peel extracts & TPI-60 (Tan protection Index).
It also contains Salicylic acid which is effective acne, blackheads & whitehead fighter.
This is the best oil control I ever had.
But if you are very fair then stay away from it, otherwise it will make you look ghostly.
Also avoid if you have dry skin.

Pros:
  • Sun Protection from tanning
  • Gives Super Matte Look
  • Dirt Cheap

Cons:
  • it’s a bit coarser than the other ponds talcs
  • Not for Dry & very fair skin

My rating: 4.5 out of 5
