Himalaya Herbals Fairness Cream Review
By Lovleen
Hello everyone,
I’m back with another interesting review from herbal skincare brand Himalaya; let’s see what it has in store for us.
The harsh summer is finally here, and this is the time when I’m all charged up with my skincare routine. Perfect face wash, body wash, body oils and lotions are always on the top of my list. However, there is one thing that tends to give me nightmares and i.e. moisturizing creams. Those with oily feel, heavy texture leave my skin prone to acne and the rest is done by the hot weather.
With those thoughts in mind, few weeks ago when I was shopping at Lifestyle mall , I discovered this product at the Himalaya Counter, the word fairness enlightened my mind at once. The SA told me about its moisturizing properties and I was convinced to make the purchase.
What happened next? Read on to find out.

My Thoughts on Himalaya Herbals Fairness Cream
It’s been over two weeks (15 days) that I’m using this cream and till today I haven’t witnessed any dramatic results. It is a decent moisturizing cream that works just like any usual cream would, but fairness- well that hasn’t happened till date. Even though I was happy about having a herbal cream in my summer skincare list, but all my hopes were shattered when I saw Parabens in its list of ingredients. Despite of being a nature based product it contains parabens that can be extremely harmful for those who are allergic towards it.
Therefore, my thoughts on it are pretty clear and loud- “Though it’s a subtle moisturizer but there is nothing unique that will make you fall in love with it”.
Pros:
It is quite affordable
It does not lead to breakouts or any sort of side-effects
Best for moisturizing oily skin beauties during winter, as it does not leave a greasy touch
Cons:
Long list of chemicals that includes, parabens, parabens, & parabens
No SPF (Sun Protection Factor)
Rating: 2/5
Do I recommend Himalaya Herbals Fairness Cream for you? So, parabens and no results have made it a big no for me.
Editor’s Note: Oh God, such a dud! I anyway hate fairness product, Himalaya Herbals is one brand which I really like, so didn’t expect this :/
What do you think about the Himalaya Herbals Fairness Cream or Fairness Creams in General?
