I don’t suffer from acne…but I do get 1-2 of it during that ‘time’ of the month..and sometimes during exams..coz of stress and improper sleep and diet..it immediately shows up on my face..
I got this Fab India Acne Control Cream 2-3 months back…
What the Company claims : Made with a unique formula using the antiseptic properties of clove oil and tea tree oil, this light whipped cream helps control pimples, acne and blemishes. It also revitalizes and stimulates the cellular activity of skin. Recommended for oily skin but suitable for all skin types.
MRP: Rs 225/- for 100 ml
Key Ingredients: Purified water, Clove oil, Tea tree oil, Allantoin and Cedarwood oil.
Directions for use : Wash face with lukewarm water. Apply cream on affected areas and gently rub in. for best results, use twice a day.
Its very light yellow in color…has gel like texture and a strong clove smell…and the moment you apply it..be mentally prepared…IT STINGS !! :p And the strong clove smell would also burn your eyes a bit. But that goes after 4-5 mins,
But nevertheless it does work on acne,clears it up without leaving marks. I apply it at night after washing my face with the Fab India Tea Tree Facewash
Pros:
1. Does what it claims..controls and helps clear up acne.
2. Has a light texture and gets absorbed in the skin…its to be rubbed in for 1-2 mins.
3. Does not leave behind acne marks.
4. Packed with a cap.
Cons:
1. Comes in a glass jar.
2. All ingredients not mentioned.
3. Has a strong clove smell.
4. It stings…so people with sensitive skin better stay away.
5. Expensive at Rs 225/- as this much qty is not required and they should come up with smaller pack.
Rating:
Quality: 4/5
Value for money : 3.5/5
Availability: 4/5
Overall rating: 3.5/5
Would I buy it again: No…this will last till October 2011…and I know I am not even gonna finish this up..most of the times I run away from this as it stings :p And I also use a lotion called Erytop which works equally for me.
Have you tried any acne control cream ? What works for you ?

@sugar: u mail them if u dint get an intimation..dey wud reply..
@CZ: ya it does :(..thanks..
@chennai ponnu: ya its gud if u can bear d stingin 4-5 mins :p
Burn my eyes? Isn’t this meant for spot application?
Too bad it stings!! I think they can reduce the quantity by half (at least) and as Nivedita said use this for spot application 🙂
ya nivedita..spot application..bt d strong clove oil smell irritates n burns eyes..
rads..ya i agree..both dis n depigmenation cream qty shd hav been halved..des much can never be used if 1 does not suffer from severe acne..
hows the tea tree face wash of fab ? i bought the body shop one and its too expensive man.. nice review.. i’ll also have to stay away.. sensitive skin

Cn you pls suggest some other products for acne scars. As i have verystubborn ones due to pinching the acne.
Hey Sarhaniya, You should visit a dermat coz he will suggest creams with light peel action that will help get rid of the stubborn acne scars. Also, dont pick or pinch your acne ever.
