Ponds Age Miracle Tinted Moisturiser Review

I have the shade 02 Sheer Rose in it. The other two shades are 01 Sheer Ivory and 03 Sheer Honey.

What the Company claims : Experience the dual power of anti-ageing skincare with a natural “no makeup” finish with our lightweight, tinted anti-ageing moisturizer. With super-fine colorspheres to even out your skin tone and the same active ingredients of one of our best anti-ageing moisturizer, Advanced CLA Complex + SPF 15 PA++ for that smooth, natural finish with a luminous radiant glow.

How to enjoy a naturally sheer finish with anti-ageing protection: Apply evenly over thoroughly cleansed face.

Anti Ageing Tinted Moisturizer
Visibly reduces the appearance of lines, wrinkles and pores
Conceals to minimize age spots
Gives a natural, “no makeup” finish
Available in 3 skin-blending shades(Sheer Ivory, Sheer Honey, Sheer Beige)

MRP- Rs.215/- for 30 ml

I don’t use a foundation. I just use this TM and finish it off with a pressed powder..and that is enough for me…evens out my skin tone and gives a nice look. I use my fingers to blend it in..one can also use a foundation brush for it…just take a pea sized amount and dot it on the face and blend it outwards using your fingers.

Pros :
1. Combines foundation and moisturiser. You need not use 2 separate products.
2. Has SPF 15 and protection from PA ++. So works as a sunscreen too for ppl who are fine with SPF 15.
3. Very small,cute, easy to carry bottle. Travel friendly.
4. Blends well..easy to use.
5. You just need a small pea sized amount..so a little goes a long way.
6. Gives light coverage and evens out skin tone.
7. An ideal daily wear option for working people.
8. I don’t have open pores problems but it has helped people with minimisation of pores a little bit.
9. Perfect for winters and people with dry skin.
10.Never broke me out..non comodogenic.
11.Stays well for 5-6 hours with a pressed powder..for humid climate.
12.Has a small nozzle at top..you can control the exact qty you want.

Cons:
1. Not suitable for people with oily skin as its a bit thick.
2. It wears off with sweat..so you need to set it with a pressed powder.
3. Very light coverage..those who need heavy coverage..its not for you..it wont hide blemishes or spots.
4. Only 3 shades and sheer rose and sheer ivory look very similar.

Overall rating- 4.5/5

Would I buy it again- Yes..for sure…I really like this.

Have you used this ? How would you compare this with the Biotique one those who have used both ?

War of Face Washes- Himalaya v Pond’s v Fabindia

Ok..here is a quick comparision of the face washes I have tried. Precisely its Himalaya Purifying Neem Face wash (which I am using from last 4-5 years and yes you are right…this is my HG), Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spotless Lightening Facial Foam and Fabindia Tea Tree Face wash.

Lets start with Himalaya Purifying Neem…there is also a Foaming one in this which comes in a pump dispenser..I have tried that 1-2 times..but I feel this one is better and stick to it…

It is a light green color gel and it says prevents pimples and purifies skin in all skin types..

What the Company claims-A soap-free herbal formulation that gently removes impurities and prevents pimples. Enriched with Neem, well known for its anti-bacterial property that kills problem-causing bacteria, and Turmeric, which effectively controls acne and pimples. Use regularly for clear, soft, and pimple-free skin.

Directions for use-Moisten face, apply a small quantity of Purifying Neem Face Wash and gently work up lather with a circular motion. Wash off and pat dry. Use twice daily. Followup with Himalaya Herbals Face Moisutrizing Lotion.Use Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Pack once a week to rejuvenate and revitalize your facial skin.

MRP- Rs. 45 for 50 ml and Rs 70 for 100 ml (The Foaming one is for Rs 150 for 150 ml)

Ingredients : Exts. Nimba, Haridra
Inactives: Phenoxyethanol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate

Pros :
1. It leaves my skin squeaky clean without any dryness or stretchy feeling.
2. Using this regularly has helped reduce break outs.
3. It is very mild and gentle.
4. I love the refreshing smell and it wakes me up instantly.
5. I trust Himalaya with their products and it mentions all the ingredients.
6. The 45 ml tube is travel friendly.
7. Its cheap and a good value for money.

Cons :
1. The flip tube cap is a bit tight.

Umm…no other cons..I guess… I love it too much and come back to it always..I am going to buy this forever..but I do try other face washes in between.

Rating- 4.5/5

Would I buy it again- Yes yes….forever

Now the Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spotless Lightening Facial Foam…It is a  white creamy facewash…and just a bit is required as it foams a lot…it has Pro Vitamin B3

What the Company claims- Cleanses deeply for glowing and brighter skin. This gentle foam deeply cleanses and brightens skin, transforming your complexion to a radiant look you have always wanted. The foams unique formula reduces dullness and brightens skin, while washing away old and weary, sallow skin cells. Skin feels soft, smooth and sparkling clean.

Directions for use – Wet your face. Apply to face and neck and gently massage. Rinse off.

MRP – Rs 60 for 50 gm

3. It is travel friendly.
4. It is cheap.
5. Smells nice.

Cons :

2. It gives that stretchy feeling and now I use it only occasionally to finish it off.

Rating- 3/5

Would I buy it again- No

And lastly Fabindia Tea Tree Face Wash…its a transparent gel…with a strong tea tree smell. Tea tree oil is supposed to be very good for oily skin, pimples, blemishes, uneven skin tone, body odour, dandruff,etc

What the Company claims-  An antiseptic face wash ideal for oily skin,containing tea tree oil and turmeric extract. Daily use removes excess sebum reducing acne and pimples.

Directions for use – not stated (You just have to take some and apply on wet face and neck and pat dry..as usual)

MRP- Rs. 125 for120 ml

Ingredients : Purified water,Tea Tree oil, Glyceryl Cocoate, Turmeric extract, Guar gum.

Pros :
1. I think it would be the best face wash for oily skinned people prone to acne or pimples.
2. Its not drying.
3. It leaves you squeaky clean and refreshed and even removes basic makeup.

Cons :
1. The smell…strong tea tree oil smell.
2. Its runny..so you have to be careful with this.
3. Can be drying if used more than once a day even for oily skinned.
4. The price considering it comes in a huge tube. They should come out with a smaller size.
5. It is not travel friendly as its a big tube.
6. It leaves a slippery feeling behind.

Though I have combination skin.. I use it occasionally whenever I break out..and it does help in that.I like most of the Fabindia products as they are quite effective.

Rating- 3/5

Would I buy it again- May be..if in case I break out or something.

So overall I am quite happy with my HG..my Himalaya Neem for my daily use.

P.S : I went for shopping at Pantaloons…got 4 T shirts and 1 nice pair of earrings..they are in gold color..and perfect for traditional wear..love them..

So which is your HG face wash ? And which do you like among these three ??
