Hello ladies! So I have an HG eye liner, an HG lip balm, kajal and mascara, but somehow, I have never found a moisturizer that I thought was irreplaceable. So I keep juggling between random Nivea, Avon and Vaseline moisturizers. I picked up yet another new one the other day and it is the Vaseline Healthy White Lightening Visible Fairness Lotion so that’s what I’ll be reviewing today. :)
Rs 75 for 100 ml
My Take on Vaseline Healthy White Lightening Visible Fairness Lotion:
The lotion comes in a typical flat bottle packaging that most Vaseline moisturizers come in. It is a plastic bottle with a flip open cap. I don’t like the fact that the product accumulates at the mouth of the bottle, it is really messy.
It has a very light weight texture and feels quite smooth on the skin; it also blends in seamlessly and with minimal effort. The lotion has a pink tint to it and a pleasant fragrance (again characteristic of Vaseline lotions).
Now, the instant fairness claim is pretty tall and honestly I didn’t expect it to be true. So why did I buy this lotion? I don’t know if any of you girls have noticed (or maybe it’s just me who has this problem), but after applying moisturizer, my skin always looks darker. I don’t know whether it’s because my skin is hydrated and hence a bit greasy, but it definitely looks a shade darker. So that’s why the ‘instant fairness’ claim appealed to me. And in that aspect, this lotion doesn’t disappoint. My skin looks moisturized yet not darker. I think it may be because of the pink tint of the lotion.
Why I like this Body Lotion?:
- Light texture
- Blends very easily into the skin
- Lightens skin very slightly on application (probably because it is tinted)
- Reasonable price
- Moisturizes skin, especially good for the summer months when a light moisturizer is required
- Pleasant fragrance
Why I don’t like this Body Lotion?:
- Does not lighten skin
- Says it has ‘triple sunscreens’ but doesn’t mention exact sun protection
- Will not be moisturizing enough for very dry skin or in winters
- Product tends to accumulate at the mouth of the bottle
MABH Rating: 2.5/5
Final word:
If you’re looking for a product that gives you instant fairness, this is NOT it. The instant fairness claim is true only to a tiny extent because of the tint in the moisturizer, but it disappears very quickly. That said, this lotion still has many positives and it can serve as a pocket-friendly everyday moisturizer if that is what you are looking for.
Will I repurchase?:
Yes I may, unless I find something better. However I am yet to discover my HG moisturizer! :/
Hope you girls liked this review!
I thought to pick it up yesterday thank gawd I didn’t :P Nice review :) :)
Lolll you’re welcome Gowmi :x
i like the previous version adi…:)it actually made me hands lighter…sad…why did they change it..X(..nice review:)i was waiting on this..
:) thanks Dharu
Yes, I agree with you.
The previous version make my skin tone lighter, but the new range of Vaseline whitening product does not work as well.
Tried the Vaseline Healthy white perfect 10 and UV lightening but not much effect is visible.
Might change to other brand, Nivea maybe.
I liked the previous one too :( I helped in removing tan
Do you both mean the one with spf? :)
Without SPF adi :) It is not tinted.. Have you tried it?
Nope.. I will :)
Nice review Adi :)
Thanks Manasi :)
Actually I love this lotion. But I use it’s other version which comes with SPF mentioned on it. It is priced a bit more than this one. Don’t really care about the instant fairness claim.
Nice review.
*its :P
Yes I like the other one better too :) This one doesn’t mention the exact SPF either.
Thanks :)
with SPF mentioned???? Where is it available? :-/
I bought it long time back Lancy.. but it should be easily available like all vaseline products. have you checked health n glow? :)
Yeah I did Adi.. but didn’t find one with SPF amount mentioned! Have to check again :)
I like the product’s price ! :P healthy white version never worked for me.. And after you’ve said so much i might as well skip it and stick to my usual ones :) nice review :)
Hahah yes me too! it’s a good moisturizer and that’s it. which ones do you use? :)
I like to using revlon whimsical lotion or the vaseline aloe fresh lotion :) Does what it claims
Girls.. have you tried the cocoa glow one? Dharu loves it ;;-)
Ohh okay thanks Venetha :)
Lancy I find the smell of the cocoa one a bit overpowering.. but otherwise it’s a lovely moisturizer :)
I still didn’t try it Adi :( Have to get one.. Dharu says it helps clearing out marks!!
clears marks does it ?! I want it then :( but i am afraid it might be heavy on my oily skin
Same pinch here Venetha.. So I am thinking to use it only at nights :)
Thanks Venetha :D I’ll try out the revlon one!
Previous version was better than this..Does nothing..~X( ~X(
I don’t know why they add this silly instant fairness claim… Ughh.. ^#(^
