Also many us face problem of whiteheads and regular scrubbing is a good way to get rid of these. So I am always on the lookout of good face scrubs which will give me a quick fix for these issues and cleanse my face deeply.

Price & Quantity: Rs. 135 for 70 gm

Usage Instructions: Gently massage with finger tips on wet face and neck, concentrating on nose, forehead and chin. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid contact with eyes.

Shelf Life: 36 months

My Experience:

Packaging: The scrub comes in a semi-transparent tube packaging in yellow with a flip open cap orange cap. The colors of the tube are very vibrant and I quite like them. The flip cap is sturdy which makes the tube travel friendly. On squeezing, just the right amount comes onto your palm.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: The scrub is orange in color. It has a gel like consistency with micro beads in it. The scrub smells strongly of melons (yes, you read it right!!). I like the fruit fragrance but it might be a concern for some people.

VLCC Fade Tan Skin Polishing Face Scrub Review

How it works: I take a small amount and massage it onto my wet face and neck for about a minute and wash it off by splashing cold water. The scrub does not lather much but clear can be seen and felt after each wash. This scrub has effectively removed my white heads after 3-4 washes but I need to use it regularly for long lasting effects. The scrub particles are very mild and not at all harsh on the skin. I do not have blackheads so cannot comments about its affectivity in removing the same. I had tanning on the forehead and after continuous usage, I can see that it has reduced considerably. However, to prevent tanning one should take additional steps of using a sun-block and taking care of your skin post sun-exposure more often. My skin also doesn’t feel dry after usage.

PROS:

  • Mild scrub, not harsh on facial skin
  • Fruity fragrance
  • Small amount is required
  • Effectively minimizes white heads
  • Reduces tan
  • Does not dry out skin
  • Recyclable packaging
  • Does not test on animals

CONS:

  • Contains SLS
  • Too mild to remove black-heads

Rating: 4/5

Do I recommend?: 
A good two in one product for scrubbing and removing tan.

Would I Repurchase?: 
May be not, as I keep changing my scrubs and face washes. But would not mind re-purchasing it sometime later, given the good experiences with this product

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: The color of the scrub product is transparent base with brown-orange mixed type of scrubbing particles. The base is like a gel.
The consistency is very thin and runny. You tilt the tube, all the product inside the tube runs from one side to another. Though the base looks like a gel, it is very watery.

The fragrance of the product is somewhere in between mild to strong. The name of the scrub says Strawberry and Aloe vera, forget aloe vera, there is no smell of strawberry too on my smelling senses. There is some amount of sour fruity scent indicating the lemon and orange extracts being present.
How it works: Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Face Wash lathers minimum. The scrub granules are of mixed shape and sharpness. There are some which are a little big than needed for face scrubbing and they are sharp too. These scrub the face a little more that needed. The package says All Skin Types; definitely no, the scrub is a little harsh on the dry skin. Also it is not suitable during winter for removing the dead skin flakes. This is a good product for oily skin. My skin felt more dry and stretchy after washing with this product.
But, I have found another way of using this product, as a body scrub. This gives a very good massaging sensation when rubbed on the body. You can skip your usual body wash the day you introduce this Lotus scrub. It scrubs and washes too very well. The much needed scrubbing for heels, elbow, knee joint, and back of the neck is done by Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Face Wash.

PROS:

  • Easy handling tube package with flip cap.
  • See though tube.
  • Mixed type of scrub.
  • Gel based.
  • Available at good price.
  • Makes a very good body scrub.
  • Removes dead cells and leaves the skin soft when used as a body scrub.

CONS:

  • Not a good face scrub.
  • There are some harsh scrub particles which are not suitable for face scrubbing.
  • Suitable for oily skin, not good for dry skin.
Rating: 3/5
Do I Recommend?: Yes. Though not a perfect face scrub, it is a perfect body scrub.
Would I Repurchase ?: Yes. I am on my third tube.
