Lacto Calamine Archives - New Love

Lacto Calamine, a product from Piramal Enterprises’ Consumer Products Division, is one of the most tried and trusted products in the skin care category, makes an addition to its portfolio with its ‘Lacto Calamine Sunshield’. This new product comes with the proposition of a sunscreen suited to the consumers’ skin type, namely through two variants – for oily and dry skin.

Both the variants offer SPF 30 to protect skin from the sun’s harmful UV B Rays and PA++protection, which protects against UV A Rays that cause darkening and premature aging of the skin.

Two variants from Lacto Calamine Sunshield:

1. Lacto Calamine Sunshield for oily skin comes with the goodness of Lemon extracts, which is ideal for oily skin. The natural Lemon Extracts (SPF 30, PA++) evens out skin pigmentation, and helps control excess oil

2. Lacto Calamine Sunshield with Aloe Vera offers sun protection with moisturizing for dry skin. The natural Aloe Vera (SPF 30, PA++) moisturizes the skin, protects it and helps retain its glow

Both Variants of Lacto Calamine Sunshield are priced at Rs. 199 for a 50ml pack.

Lacto Calamine Lotion Review- Classic and Aloe

I have been using Lacto Calamine from the last 4-5 years and can easily say its my HG..it is one product I cant live without. I have three of these right now too :p
I have used both the Classic (normal to oily skin one) and Aloe Moisturiser (dry to normal skin one).I will state the ingredients and exact difference between both of them. It is a light pink lotion with medium consistency.

LC Classic :

What the Company claims : Skinsurance. Daily use formula with balanced Kaolin and Glycerin. The goodness of Clay and Glycerin gives your skin : 1. Nourishment 2.Acne and Oil Control 3. Dead skin removal 4. Protection. Apply everyday for clear,beautiful skin.

MRP : Rs. 32 for 30ml, Rs.52 for 60 ml and Rs.72 for 120 ml (Both have same prices)

Ingredients : Aqua, Light Kaolin, Castor oil, Glycerin, Zinc Oxide, Zinc Carbonate, emulsifiers, preservatives, perfume and permitted colors.

Directions : Shake well before use.

LC Aloe Moisturiser :

What the Company claims : Skinsurance. Daily use formula with Kaolin and Special Moisturisers. Discover Skinsurance for dry skin. 1. Moisturisation 2. Protection 3. Dead skin removal 4. Acne Control. Apply everyday for soft, clear skin.

MRP : same

Ingredients : Aqua, Light Kaolin, Sorbitol soln 70%, Propylene Glycol, glycerine, Aloe Vera gel, Castor oil, Zinc Oxide, Zinc Carbonate, Simethicone, emulsifiers, preservatives,perfume and permitted colors. (highlighted ingredients different from classic)

Directions : same

Pros:

1. Clay, Glycerin and Aloe all are beneficial for the skin.
2. Keeps oil and shine at bay and does reduce acne with regular use.
3. Is tinted..so can be used daily to even out skin.
4. Reduces redness and soothes skin.
5. Helps in burns, insect bites,etc
6. It does help in dead skin removal and nourishment..I use it regularly but skipped it during my exams as I had no time at all…and my skin had gone all haywire…and with its regular use again it came back to normal. I just swear by this. This is the best thing ever made for me :p
7. Helps with cleaning up any makeup mistakes..I just dab some LC on a Q tip and clean out any mess..whether eye liner,lip liner or smudgy kohl..this cleans it off lightly.
8. Expiry date is 5 years from the date of manufacture..its going to stay long even if you are not a regular user.
9. The small bottle is absolutely travel friendly..you can carry it around anywhere.
10.Economical at this price.

Cons :

1. It is not moisturising enough. It leaves the skin dry and in winters I need a moisturiser over this but in summers I am fine with this. But dry skinned people will obviously need a moisturiser over this.
2. I personally dint find any difference in the Classic and Aloe one except the ingredients.
3. Those who like a dewy effect on the skin would not like this as it gives a matte effect. (I love that :p)
4. If not shaken well…the liquid would separate and that would come out first as it has a wide opening.

Overall rating- 5/5

Would I buy it again- YES..forever and ever ..:D
