VLCC Fade Tan Skin Polishing Face Scrub Review

 

by Supriya

Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the small MIA thing. Got busy both in office and at home so could not squeeze out time. MABH has become an integral part of me so could not stay away for long. Thank you Lancy and thank you all for reading and liking my reviews!!
So today, I am going to review a face polish. We all get conscious of dead skin cells and specially if they are on our face. Also many us face problem of whiteheads and regular scrubbing is a good way to get rid of these. So I am always on the lookout of good face scrubs which will give me a quick fix for these issues and cleanse my face deeply.

Claims:
VLCC Fade Tan Skin Polishing Face Scrub contains orange peel oil and is suitable for all skin types. Over exposure to harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun is responsible for skin darkening and ageing. After a glorious day in the sun, this effective scrub with deep cleansing and purifying action rejuvenates skin, post sun exposure. Enriched with orange peel oil and lemon peel oil, it effectively washes away sun-tan while the unique scrubbing granules exfoliate dead skin cells and superficial white and black heads.

Price & Quantity: Rs. 135 for 70 gm

Usage Instructions: Gently massage with finger tips on wet face and neck, concentrating on nose, forehead and chin. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid contact with eyes.

Shelf Life: 36 months

My Experience:

Packaging: The scrub comes in a semi-transparent tube packaging in yellow with a flip open cap orange cap. The colors of the tube are very vibrant and I quite like them. The flip cap is sturdy which makes the tube travel friendly. On squeezing, just the right amount comes onto your palm.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: The scrub is orange in color. It has a gel like consistency with micro beads in it. The scrub smells strongly of melons (yes, you read it right!!). I like the fruit fragrance but it might be a concern for some people.

Swatch:

How it works: I take a small amount and massage it onto my wet face and neck for about a minute and wash it off by splashing cold water. The scrub does not lather much but clear can be seen and felt after each wash. This scrub has effectively removed my white heads after 3-4 washes but I need to use it regularly for long lasting effects. The scrub particles are very mild and not at all harsh on the skin. I do not have blackheads so cannot comments about its affectivity in removing the same. I had tanning on the forehead and after continuous usage, I can see that it has reduced considerably. However, to prevent tanning one should take additional steps of using a sun-block and taking care of your skin post sun-exposure more often. My skin also doesn’t feel dry after usage.

PROS:

• Mild scrub, not harsh on facial skin
• Fruity fragrance
• Small amount is required
• Effectively minimizes white heads
• Reduces tan
• Does not dry out skin
• Recyclable packaging
• Does not test on animals

CONS:

• Contains SLS
• Too mild to remove black-heads

Rating: 4/5

Do I recommend?: 
A good two in one product for scrubbing and removing tan.

Would I Repurchase?: 
May be not, as I keep changing my scrubs and face washes. But would not mind re-purchasing it sometime later, given the good experiences with this product
