Vaseline Healthy White Lightening Visible Fairness Lotion Review

by Adi

Hello ladies! So I have an HG eye liner, an HG lip balm, kajal and mascara, but somehow, I have never found a moisturizer that I thought was irreplaceable. So I keep juggling between random Nivea, Avon and Vaseline moisturizers. I picked up yet another new one the other day and it is the Vaseline Healthy White Lightening Visible Fairness Lotion so that’s what I’ll be reviewing today. :)

Price and Quantity:

Rs 75 for 100 ml

My Take on Vaseline Healthy White Lightening Visible Fairness Lotion:

The lotion comes in a typical flat bottle packaging that most Vaseline moisturizers come in. It is a plastic bottle with a flip open cap. I don’t like the fact that the product accumulates at the mouth of the bottle, it is really messy.

It has a very light weight texture and feels quite smooth on the skin; it also blends in seamlessly and with minimal effort. The lotion has a pink tint to it and a pleasant fragrance (again characteristic of Vaseline lotions).

Now, the instant fairness claim is pretty tall and honestly I didn’t expect it to be true. So why did I buy this lotion? I don’t know if any of you girls have noticed (or maybe it’s just me who has this problem), but after applying moisturizer, my skin always looks darker. I don’t know whether it’s because my skin is hydrated and hence a bit greasy, but it definitely looks a shade darker. So that’s why the ‘instant fairness’ claim appealed to me. And in that aspect, this lotion doesn’t disappoint. My skin looks moisturized yet not darker. I think it may be because of the pink tint of the lotion.

Why I like this Body Lotion?:

• Light texture
• Blends very easily into the skin
• Lightens skin very slightly on application (probably because it is tinted)
• Reasonable price
• Moisturizes skin, especially good for the summer months when a light moisturizer is required
• Pleasant fragrance

Why I don’t like this Body Lotion?:

• Does not lighten skin
• Says it has ‘triple sunscreens’ but doesn’t mention exact sun protection
• Will not be moisturizing enough for very dry skin or in winters
• Product tends to accumulate at the mouth of the bottle

MABH Rating: 2.5/5

Final word:

If you’re looking for a product that gives you instant fairness, this is NOT it. The instant fairness claim is true only to a tiny extent because of the tint in the moisturizer, but it disappears very quickly. That said, this lotion still has many positives and it can serve as a pocket-friendly everyday moisturizer if that is what you are looking for.

Will I repurchase?: 

Yes I may, unless I find something better. However I am yet to discover my HG moisturizer! :/

Hope you girls liked this review!
