Biotique Bio Papaya Revitalising Tan Removal Scrub Review

By Archana

Am sure most of you are familiar with the brand Biotique. Their products are based on Ayurvedic recipes and are organic and preservative free. It is also againt animal testing. Plus Biotique products are very affordable as well and easily available everywhere. I was recently sent few Biotique products to review. Today’s post is on one of their most popular and raved about products ‘Biotique Bio Papaya Revitalising Tan Removal Scrub’. Read on to know more.

Products claims:
This Revitalizing Tan-Removal scrub is blended with pure papaya fruit to dissolve dead surface cells, unclog pore openings and smooth the way for clear skin to surface. Gentle refining action uncovers skin’s natural brightness for a younger-looking complexion.

Ingredients:
Papita (Carica papaya), Kela (Musa sapientum), Khajoor (Phoenix dactylifera), Neem (Melia azadiradrachita), Methi (Trgonelia foenum graecum), Yasad bhasm (Zincum), Ban haldi (Curcuma aromatica), Aam beej (Magnifela indica), Bees wax, Gun acacia (Acacia arabica), Moongphali (Archis hypogea), Himalayan water Q.S.

Price and quantity: Rs.199 for 75g.

Directions to use:
Massage on wet face and neck with fingertips. Avoid eye area. Remove with water or damp washcloth. Use daily or as needed.

Packaging:
The scrub comes in a small white tub packaging with a green lid. There is an inner lid for protection and to prevent spillage. They have revamped the packaging now. Earlier it used to be all green with a sleeker tub. But still I feel a tube packaging would have been better than a tub.

Texture and fragrance:
It is a muddish-gray colored scrub with a thick consistency. The granules are tiny and black in color. It has a lovely fruity fragrance of papaya.

My experience:
This is neither a regular cream based scrub nor gel based. It is actually a clay based scrub which makes it perfect for a face pack also. The granules are medium, not very coarse nor very mild, perfect for exfoliation. But if you have very sensitive skin, be gentle and apply only little pressure. It removes dead cells and deep cleanses pores, making skin smooth and polished. Being clay based, it also absorbs excess oil and tightens skin. Regarding its tan removal claims, they are absolutely true. I could see the difference right in the first use. It managed to remove majority of the tan and made my skin bright. I also use it on my arms and feet to get rid of tan. Although, it is mentioned in instructions that it can be used daily, I think it might be little harsh for everyday use. Two or three times a week would be fine.

Pros:
* Removes dead cells and deep cleanses pores.
* Makes skin smooth and polished.
* Absorbs excess oil.
* Removes majority of tan in just one use.
* Affordable.
* Nice fruity fragrance.
* Organic, preservative free, cruelty free.

Cons:
* Tub packaging is unhygienic.

Rating: 4.9/5

Verdict: Biotique Bio Papaya Revitalising Tan Removal Scrub is an amazing scrub for exfoliation as well as tan removal. It is suitable for all skin types. For the very affordable price and also being organic and preservative free, I would definitely recommend this scrub to everyone.

Editor’s Note: I have used this and loved it! Definitely getting it again. Nice review Archana 🙂

Biotique Papaya Scrub Review

Biotique Papaya Scrub says it is a soothing and revitalizing scrub suitable for all skin types. The older pack of it read 7 days facial scrub but they have changed the packaging now I guess..

What the Company claims : The enzymes contained in the Papaya Fruit remove dead epithelial cells and deep cleanse the skin. The rubbing of Papaya Fruit helps Speed up natural skin  leaving it fresher and younger looking.

Directions for use : Massage on wet face and neck with fingertips. Avoid eye area. Remove with water or damp washcloth. Use daily or as needed.

MRP- Rs 199 for 85 gm or 2.4 oz. (I got it for Rs.180)

Ingredients : Papita 5%, Kela 3%, Khajoor 2%, Neem 5%, Methi 1%, Yasad bhasm Zincum 5%, Ban Haldi 1%, Aam beej 1%, Bees Wax 3.5 %, Gum Acacai 1.5 %, Moongphali 2.5 %, Himalayan Water Q.S

It has all the natural things which are excellent for the skin like papaya, khajoor, neem, bees wax, gum acacia, peanuts, methi, etc. It is a cream colored thick scrub with fruit seeds for exfoliation. I would suggest not using it daily though they mention so in the directions coz daily exfoliation of your very delicate facial skin is not good. You can use it once a week or once in two weeks as you like.

But exfoliation or scrubbing is very important as it removes the dead skin cells from your skin making way for the new ones.

Blended

Pros :

1. It is natural and I would anyday prefer this over the chemical laden scrubs.
2. It leaves skin nice,smooth and soft.
3. Removes dry flakes from the skin.
4. It can be used as a body scrub as well..especially on elbows,knees and places where you have ingrowth.
5. Its expiry is 3 years from the date of manufacture.So it can be used for a long time even if you don’t use it regularly. I love this thing in all Biotique products.
6. I like the nice fruity smell.
7. Its very very creamy and I even keep it for a few minutes on the skin like a pack..so it would work both ways..as it has all the good stuff.

Cons:

1. As all Biotique products it comes in a tub making it difficult to use when its close to getting finished. Its unhygienic to use fingers.You can use a plastic spoon or something to remove the scrub.
2. The price is a bit high if you use it as a body scrub as it will finish up sooner.Its decent enough if used only as a face scrub as little goes a long way.
3. It stings a bit while scrubbing but nothing abnormal. I would suggest people with sensitive skin to do a patch test first before using it on face.

So overall I would suggest it to everyone as its damn good and my HG scrub.
Though I have’nt tried the much famous St. Ives Apricot and also Nivea Visage and others but those mostly have SLS which I think is harmful for th skin.

I have tried Nomarks Apricot scrub which I will review later.But I love this natural baby more…;)
