Hi friends, here is a quick review of a sample of Origins Make A Difference Skin Rejuvenating Treatment Lotion (phew - such a long name!).

This came in my Vellvette bag and something that I used up pretty fast. The reason - there was only a small quantity and yes I liked it so I used it regularly.

The Origins Rejuvenating Treatment Lotion is basically a skin toner. As the bottle says the lotion is to be used both morning and evening. I had 7ml of this product and it lasted me for a week with regular usage.

This is what the brand website says about the product 
"This pre-moisturizing treatment lotion fortified with Rose of Jericho plus a breakthrough Lychee and Watermelon complex prepares skin for the intensive treatments to follow. Leaves skin feeling rejuvenated and hydrated. "

Khadi Moisturising Lotion - Rose - Review

A light moisturising lotion which I have almost finished is the Khadi moisturising lotion in Rose. On my last visit to Khadi Gram Udyog I happened to notice this entire shelf of different products that drew my attention.
I had never tried anything from Khadi Gram Udyog before so sceptically I purchased this moisturiser.

 The label said nourishing, oil free, replenishes lost skin moisture, and recommended to use the moisturiser after any skin treatment. It also said ayurvedic medicine. The moisturiser is light weight in texture. A very light pink colour and it does have some rose fragrance. The fragrance is not really a nice rose fragrance. It has some medicinal - some talc like fragrance too.

I used this moisturiser for my face but did not like the effect - it did not break me out but I did not like the feeling - it was like a thin layer that I could feel on my face - maybe due to glycerine in the moisturiser. Glycerine does not suit my skin and does settle on my oily skin like a film.
I used it on my arms and legs and tried to finish it up. On arms and legs it felt good. But due to the fragrance which I did not like much I use it occasionally and am finally almost finished with the bottle. The moisturiser  comes in a plastic bottle with a plastic flip cap - nothing interesting here either.
Overall I would say its ok - can be used if you are looking at a cheaper option for daily use in summers.

Details at a glance
Packaging : plastic flip cap bottle
Texture     : very light non greasy
Fragrance : rose but a little medicinal
Price        : Rs. 85 for 210ml (this is a year old price)

What I like:

  • Light weight
  • Non greasy


What I don't like:

  • Creates a light film if used on face (maybe due to glycerine which does not suit my facial skin)
  • Fragrance

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion - review

Winters are long over and so is my dear Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion. This was my favourite last winter for the simple reason that it worked.
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

The moisturizing lotion contains colloidal oatmeal as the active ingredient. The company claims that the moisturiser replenishes the skin's natural barrier function so that it doesn't lose moisture and stays that way for over 24 hours.

First the packaging - it comes in an easy to use tube with a flip cap.

The texture is very light weight yet it’s a thick cream. It simply gets absorbed by the skin. I love to apply a huge amount and gently massage it into my skin.

My skin feels happy, soft and healthy. The lotion is white in colour (a transparent sort of white) and has a very light lavender fragrance - nothing overpowering - very gentle indeed. And true to its claim it protects the skin from dryness the whole day. I have even applied it on my dry heels and it made them happy too :)

I have run out of the tube I had (one tube lasted me about 5 months). Even as we entered into summers I continued to use this as it did not make the skin oily or greasy.

Details at a glance
Packaging      : plastic tube with a flip cap
Texture            : thick but easily absorbed (non-greasy)
Fragrance      : very light lavender
Price              : $12 for 200ml  (current price – available on amazon)

What I like:
·         Helps heal my skin of any dry patches
·         Makes my skin feel soft

What I dont like:
·         Nothing - I loved it
