Biotique Bio Wheat Germ Youthful Nourishing Night Cream Review
By Archana
Hi all,
Today I am reviewing the night cream from Biotique’s Anti Ageing Skin care routine – Biotique Bio Wheat Germ Youthful Nourishing Night Cream. This night cream is especially formulated to keep your skin youthful and prevent ageing. Let’s move on to the review and see whether it fulfills its claims.
Products claims: Wheat Germ Oil is one of the most sensitive oils in the botanical world, a natural antioxidant with more Vitamin E than any other natural oil. This rich-feeling, firming cream is blended with pure wheat germ, sunflower and almond oils, vitamins A, B, C, D, E and extracts of carrot and galangal to moisturize and strengthen skin for a more vital, resilient, younger appearance.
Ingredients: Ankurit Genhun Seed – 5%, Gajar Seed – 1%, Badam Oil – 1%, Kulanjan Rhizome – 0.25%, Khubani Seed Oil – 0.5%, Sunflower oil – 2.5%, Purified Water – Q.S
Directions to use: Gently smooth over cleansed face with upward strokes, night.
Price and quantity: Rs.230 for 50g (Buy HERE)
Packaging: The night cream comes in a simple, white plastic tub with a green screw-on lid. The tub is housed inside an outer carton. All the product details are listed on the carton. If you wish to travel with it, you can discard the carton and carry only the tub as it will be compact.
Texture and fragrance: The cream is white in color with a whipped, smooth cream like consistency. It has a mild fragrance, almost unnoticeable.
My experience: I have been using this night cream along with the other products from the same range – the serum and day cream. This night cream has a very smooth texture and on applying it takes a while to get absorbed. I need to massage for a couple of minutes for the cream to sink in completely. Which is how I feel a night cream should be. It should have a massagable consistency as a little massage every night can improve blood circulation and firm the skin.
There was no immediate results I could observe on the first few days. But after 2-3 weeks, I can feel my skin is more nourished, smooth and healthy. It has plumped up my skin and made it younger and soft. I had some fine lines on my forehead. It has helped to smooth them out. Though they haven't vanished completely. I think it might take two more tubs to completely erase them.
The cream majorly contains wheatgerm oil which is perfect for sensitive skin. I haven’t faced any breakouts while using this cream. I also observed that it helps to soothe sunburns and redness and irritations.
Though, its an anti-ageing cream, it doesn’t mean only ageing people need to use it. The cream can be used by any age group to keep the skin youthful and prevent ageing.
Pros:
* Nice, smooth, massageable consistency for a night cream.
* Nourishes the skin from deep within.
* Makes skin soft, smooth and healthy.
* Plumps up skin and makes it youthful.
* Doesn’t cause breakouts.
* Soothes sunburns, redness and irritations.
* Affordable.
Cons:
* Might not suit very acne-prone skin.
Rating: 4.3/5
Verdict: Overall, Biotique Bio Wheat Germ Youthful Nourishing Night Cream is a good, affordable night cream to keep your skin youthful and prevent signs of ageing. It takes time to show results but being an ayurvedic product it is safe and works well in the long run.
Editor’s Note: This sounds good for winters.
