PATANJALI STRAWBERRY LIP BALM REVIEW

By Simli

Hi guys!

Its November, winter is almost here. Our skin is drying and our body has started losing moisturiser already.

Apart from our skin drying we also start having chapped lips. Recently I went to a local cosmetics shop for buying lip balms for the coming winter, there I noticed apart from other well-known non herbal brands which are known for their lip balms Patanjali also has its lip balm. I bought this strawberry one, thinking why not give it a try and it also doesn’t cost much.

I am using it for a while now and let’s see how it fares..

I like to carry it around with me and apply whenever I feel my lips are drying. So today I’ll review it which you already know from the caption above. Lets start.

Packaging:

The packaging of this product is unlike the other lip balms. It is not like that of a lipstick type rather it is in a tube form with a slanted tip, from which the product comes out on squeezing. The portion from which the product comes out is not straight but rather its slanting like a new lipstick which makes it easy for applying as there is no wastage of the product. The tube has a red screw cap which means that the product wont come out if we don’t open the cap , also it doesn’t comes out on its on if we don’t squeeze the tube.

Texture and colour:

The texture of the product is perfect like it should be. It is creamy but not too thick. The colour of the product is very light pink with shimmers. On applying the product the product you’ll notice very light tint of pink on your lips , which is almost invisible.

Price: Rs 25 for 10 grams.

Ingredients: Every 10 gram contains:

Butyrospermum parkii 500mg

Olea europea 100mg

Prunus amygdalus 100mg

Triticum sativum 100mg

Symplocos racemosa 10mg

Rubia cordifolia 10mg

Cow’s milk fat 10mg

The base material: Natural waxes , vit E , sugandhit dravya.

How to use: Apply on craked lips twice a day. Also you can apply before going to bed, as I do.

Usage: Useful in dryness, roughness and rehydrates lip moisture.

My experience:

Lip balms are very essential for winters, we all know this so I use lip balms everyday. I use lip balm before applying lipstick. I also use lip balm before going to bed at night.

Now, I have been using this lip balm for a week now and I’m quite satisfied with its result. For something costing only Rs 25 honestly I wasn’t expecting too much. But it showed good results and now I have no cracked lips.

I love its fruity smell, its very mild. The portion from which the product comes out makes it very convenient for applications. After applying the lip balm on my lips, I can feel my lips becoming softer. It doesn’t have any colour which is actually good I think because it makes it the perfect lip balm to be applied before lipstick. I sleep with this lip balm on my lips and it feels like I don’t have anything on my lips at all , it is so so so light weight.

The only problem I found after using this product is that it doesn’t stays on your lips for long even if you don’t anything thing which is very disappointing. You have to reapply it again and again after like an hour.

This is because of the not so very thick consistency of the lip balm, I think so. But apart from this it is a good product for people who doesn’t want to invest more in daily use, non pigmented lip balm.

Pros:

  • Value for money product.
  • Good fruity smell.
  • Availability.
  • Easy application.

Cons:

  • It doesn’t stay for long

Rating: 4/5

Editor’s Note: I believe it is quite good for the price, would give it a try.

PATANJALI SAUNDARYA ALOE VERA GEL REVIEW

By Simli

Hi lovelies!

Aloe vera gel has almost become part of our life. Almost everyone in our beauty regime include aloe vera gel in one or the other way. Patanjali is well known for its aloe vera gel (read review HERE) and recently they introduced a new product in there beauty range. The new product can be called as a updated version of their previous aloe vera gel.

Like their previous aloe vera gel this has also become an essential part of my daily skin care routine. Apart from aloe vera which is the key ingredient it also contains kesar chandan which is well known for its skin brightening property. I have been using this product for almost a month now and I’m quite satisfied with its results.

Packaging:

The packaging of this product is quite similar to the previous patanjali aloe vera gel. It comes in a plastic tube with flip open cap which makes it travel friendly. The cap doesn’t opens on its own, its quite hard. The plastic tube is transparent but it has golden print on it. On the body of the product its written that it contains kesar and chandan. On the lower portion of the packaging the uses are mentioned and it says that it is a instant solution for pimples , wrinkles and glowing skin.

Price : Rs 50 for 60 ml.

Ingredients: It says that every 5g contains:

Aloe barbadensis – 89.00%

Crocus sativus (saffron)– 0.01%

Santalum album (sandalwood)– 0.10%

The base material : Vitamin E, permitted colour and sugandhit dravya.

Texture:

The texture of the gel is perfect, not too runny not too thick. But it is somewhat less thicker than the previous aloe vera gel by patanjali. The colour is golden-yellow. Apt for application and its very much cooling.

Uses:

Useful in roughness and dryness of skin, it helps to remove pigmentation , dark spots and increase skin glow.

How to use it: The product also comes with three different ways of using it (all the ways are mentioned in hindi):

1. Apply on face and keep it overnight , next morning wash your face with lukewarm water.

2. Apply on face 30 minutes before bathing.

3. Apply on blemishes leave for 5 minutes and then wash off.

My experience:

I have always a huge fan of aloe vera gel because of its cooling effect This new product have already become a part of my daily skin care routine as mentioned earlier. I use this everyday before going to bed and after washing my face with face wash. The consistency of this product is very good , its actually the consistency that I prefer personally in any gel. Its neither too runny nor too sticky or too thick. It glides onto my skin very smoothly.

The colour of the gel is yellowish. It has a strong kesar fragrance which I kinda like, sensitive nose may find it very strong and dislike. After applying this gel it gives the same cooling sensation like any other aloe vera gel. It doesn’t feels heavy on my skin too. It takes very little time to dry up and after drying it gives a warm glow. Though the glow doesn’t lasts longer. I have few blemishes on my skin but this product did no good with them.

As the gel is very light it is not fit for the coming winter and can’t be used as a moisturizer . It can be used as a base for makeup too. It isn’t sticky at all and its one the reason I like about this product very much.

Saffron works on lightening the scars & blemishes and sandalwood calms and soothes the skin and gives a natural glow.

In all it is a good product for daily use in summers. Can be used as a base regularly. As it is a herbal formula it will not do any harm to your skin.

Pros:

  • Good for regular use.
  • Easily available in any patanjali store.
  • Value for money.
  • Good consistency.
  • Has saffron and sandalwood which works even better on blemishes with regular use & are cooling on the skin.

Cons:

  • Very strong smell.
  • Has parabens

Rating: 4.5/5

Editor’s Note: I recently got the regular Patanjali Gel, definitely trying this once I am done with the current one.

Patanjali Coconut Oil Review & 6 Different Uses for Skin & Hair

By Sanchita

INTRODUCTION

There are some Patanjali products I swear by, like the Aloe Vera Gel, Divya Kantilep, Rose Water and this Coconut Oil. More than anything this has been a savior for me and I can’t stop praising it. I have been using this oil for the past one and half years and always keep two additional backups for this one. Here is my review on the same.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – It’s made of pure coconuts & helps in the improvement of hair growth. Patanjali coconut oil is a double filtered coconut oil which is without any preservatives. Hence, good for cooking purpose as well.

PRICE – Rs. 65 for 200ml (BUY HERE)

MY REVIEW

The oil has changed the packaging over the years. Initially there was this flip open bottle and then they suddenly shifted to the tub packaging which was extremely convenient. Last month, when I went out to purchase some, I saw that the bottle packaging is back and I couldn’t be more glad. It has a white opaque flattened bottle with a flip open cap. The mouth of the cap dispenses right amount and also helps you to control the flow as well. The bottle is much easier to carry around as well as storage. Overall, the packaging is sturdy and great.

The oil is transparent in it and leans on slightly thicker side. This is a pure coconut oil with no amount of dilution. If you see the ingredients, you would find that there is no mineral oil whatsoever and this is why the oil works best for every purpose. The smell of coconut is pretty much evident but there is no artificial touch to it. There are various ways I have been using the oil for a long time and I will elaborate how beneficial it has been.

Use 1: For the hair

Long ago I used a hair color and somehow it backfired on my scalp and I started having terrible hairfall. Someone suggested me this oil and I used to apply it overnight and wash off the next day. I did this twice a week for a month and my hairfall problem is gone. Surprisingly, the dandruff issue is also gone. The hair feels soft, nourished and healthy. Since I have extremely dry hair, sometimes I make a concoction of almond, castor, olive and coconut oil for the hair. I keep it overnight and wash off the next morning. There have been times, I also mix this coconut oil in the homemade hair masks for nourishment.

Use 2: For face

I have oily acne prone skin so I can’t exactly use it for moisturizer but I used for removing my makeup. I haven’t not used any commercial makeup remover and simply slather the oil on the face and massage for 2-3mins. Then taking a wet wipe, I wipe off and it removes every layer of makeup. For the eyes also, it removes every layer of water proof mascara and kajal and will not irritate the eyes at all. As I have oily skin, I wash off everything with a face wash.

Use 3: For hands and feet

In winters, the hands and feet get very dry and I massage the oil for 5-10mins and hit the bed. It nourishes my hands and feet overnight and I wake up with no dry layers. For other time, I simply wipe off the excess oil with a dry tissue.

Use 4: For body

The oil works like a charm to heal dry skin and stretch marks. I use this in winter for my body and it has removed my stretch marks. However, I must say that it takes a long time and patience. It took 9-10 months to remove the stretch marks on my thighs and hips.

Use 5: For eyes

I have hereditary dark circles and also dry under eyes. Most of the eye creams doesn’t suit me and I use little coconut oil on a cotton bud and apply around the eyes before sleeping. Thus, it never makes the eye dry and wrinkled.

Use 6: For nails

The nails are often under nourished due to the use of constant acetone based nail remover. I use the coconut oil as the cuticle oil and it never feels dry and under-nourished.

WHAT I LIKED

1. Opaque and sturdy packaging

2. Pure coconut oil

3. No mineral oil added

4. Has variety of uses for face, eyes, body, nails and hair

5. Reduces hairfall.

6. Hydrating

7. Easily available

8. Extremely affordable

WHAT I DISLIKED

Nothing

RATING – 5/5

OVERALL- Thus, the Patanjali Coconut Oil has various uses and the oil is truly a magic elixir for me. Most importantly, it is extremely affordable, easily available and in pure form. I would highly recommend this oil over any other hair oil for nourishment.

Editor’s Note: I will surely give this a try Sanchita, nice review

Patanjali Neem-Aloe Vera with Cucumber Face Pack Review

By Simli

Hi lovelies!

Smooth soft and clear skin is what we all wish for. But somehow all of us somewhere fail to achieve it, we suffer from clogged pores, rough skin which is not soft and also not a pleasant feeling.

Lately I went up to a local Patanjali store and bought a face pack from pratanjali . It is known as neem-aloevera  face pack, below neem-aloevera its written in very small font “with cucumber”

What the product claims: “Clear clogged pores,cools,soothes and softens skin”
It also says ” A unique blend of pure herbs for clear glowing skin. Nimb (neem) full of anti bacterial properties regulates excess oil secretion, clear clogged pores,skin impurities impart natural glow to your face”

Ingredients: Aloe Vera, Neem, Cucumber, Fuller’s Earth, Aqua, pack base, Methyl paraben, propyl paraben , sugandhit dravya

Uses: Prevents from pimples and improves face glow.

Method of using: Apply on wet face, gentle massage it, let it dry for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse off.

Price: Rs 60 for 60ml. (Buy HERE)

Texture:

The product is off white in color. Creamy and spreads well. The consistency is neither runny nor thick

Packaging:

White color Plastic tube with name written on it  and is having  a flip open cap. The packaging is quite travel friendly. The product doesn’t spill out in the cap.

My experience:

Having oily skin everything that has neem and Aloe vera attracts me a lot. This product says that it has neem and aloe vera thus I ended up buying this.  It didn’t break me out, had no pimples or rashes after using this.

It smells very herbal, people liking herbal smell may find it pleasant. The consistency is very good, it spreads evenly and without any problem onto my face. After applying it, it gives a cooling sensation which I feel is because of the presence of aloe vera and cucumber in it.

I have been using this product for a month now and am quite happy with the results. I apply it in exact same way as mentioned on its back and keep it on my face for 15 minutes. I let it dry completely. After rinsing it off my face looks fresh and rejuvenated. It doesn’t makes my skin glowing but it does clear my face. Containing neem I expected that it will give tingling sensation to my face but it didn’t and I feel so good about it.

It can be used as a regular face pack. Neem and aloe vera both are good for pimples plus fuller’s earth helps absorb oil and cucumber acts as a toner and calms the skin, I think this will also keep my pimples away. I’m quite satisfied with this product, for the price its a very good product.

I’m almost about to finish this product and will be buying this again. For anyone who is not willing to invest in something very costly for their skin care, can definitely go for this product. It is value for money.

Pros:

● economical
● value for money
● pleasant herbal smell
● clears skin
● no tingling sensation
● clears clogged pores

Cons:

● I very much like this product and do not find any con except that it contains parabens in it.

Rating: 4/5

Editor’s Note: This sounds pretty good, in my Patanjali list of products to try. Nice review Simli

Patanjali Divya Kantilep Review

By Sanchita

INTRODUCTION – Summer takes a heavy toll on my skin and now that I had to go out in the sun for few weeks regularly, the terrible acne returned and I had no idea on how to deal with it. I generally use homemade face mask but honestly speaking, I hardly get time to mix the products and apply. I bought this Patanjali Divya Kantilep some time back and used it to prevent the breakouts. So instead of going for an elaborated face mask I prefer using this on the acne prone areas and it has given me some good results.

Read on to know more about the products in details.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – Divya Kanti lep instantaneously cures skin disorders, viz. pimples, acne, wrinkles on face, loss of shining & luster, darkness etc. Divya Kanti Lep absorbs all the complaints of the skin as a result of which the skin again becomes healthy, the natural beauty of the face reappears. It also promotes splendor, shining and luster on the face. Divya Kanti lep instantaneously cures skin disorders, viz. pimples, acne, wrinkles on face, loss of shining & luster, darkness etc. Divya Kanti Lep absorbs all the complaints of the skin as a result of which the skin again becomes healthy, the natural beauty of the face reappears. It also promotes splendor, shining and luster on the face.

PRICE – 60 INR for 50gm

INGREDIENTS:

MY REVIEW

The product comes in a plastic jar with an opaque body and red screw lid. The packaging is quite sturdy in my opinion and easy to travel with if you wish to. I just wished if there was a spoon given to scoop out the product. Otherwise, it is hygienic enough. The face pack is herbal and hence it is in the form of a power. You can use it in various ways you like. You can mix it with rose water, curd, water or even milk and can also add other ingredients like Multani Mitti, Besan or Orange Peel Powder – whatever your skin prefers. Since I was in a hurry, I apply it with honey and rose water and apply on the affected areas. You can also apply all over the face and neck as well.

The best thing about the product is it is completely herbal and unnecessary paraben and preservative free. The face pack looks muddy dark brown in color and when applied on the face, giving cooling sensation. I have sensitive skin and a lot of product cause burning and irritated sensation however, this was surely an exception. Hence, it is completely safe to use and won’t give much trouble. The face pack takes around 30-45mins to dry up on the face and I simply wash off with chilled water.

The results depends on how you use it but one thing is surely consistent, it cures and prevents pimples. I would not say that it cures acne overnight but within 2-3days you will see the result. Apart from breakouts, I also had few zits and after applying the face pack, the zits disappeared within a day. If you apply the face pack directly with rose water, it gives a yellowish cast to the skin but disappears after 4-5hours. And that is why I never use it for full face unless it is mixed with Sandalwood and Multani Mitti powder. The face pack woks on all skin types as it neither makes the skin greasy nor sucks out every layer of oil. It evens out the skin tone and reduces the pores along with improving the texture of the skin. It also works great for reducing pores and cleansing the skin but it never adds a brightened glow to the skin. If you constantly use this face pack every day, you will surely see the result within 2-3weeks.

OVERALL – Overall, I would say that it is a great herbal face pack with a budget friendly price tag that works on every skin type and a great help for acne prone skin. It not only prevents and reduces acne but also lighten the marks and gives an even out skin tone with regular usage.

WHAT I LIKED

1. Nice packaging.

2. Herbal product.

3. Prevents the acne.

4. Cures the breakout.

5. Even out the skin tone.

6. Cleanse the skin.

7. Can be used with multiple powder face packs.

8. No irritated or burning sensation.

9. Will suit every skin type.

10. Improves the texture of skin.

11. Budget friendly price tag.

WHAT I DISLIKED

1. Takes time to show results.

2. Casts a yellowish layer when used directly with rose water.

3. No added glow or radiance.

RATING – 8/10

RECOMMENDATION – This is a nice herbal product that actually shows some results on the skin without any irritated side effect. I would highly recommend it for acne prone skin and will religious usage, you will not be disappointed at all.

Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel Review, How to Use

By Sanchita

INTRODUCTION – Hello everyone. This is probably one of the bestselling product from the brand and used by every skin. One of the disadvantages of having an oily skin is that you have to prevent making it oily while moisturizing it. This is because the oiliness often leads to severe breakouts. My skin is both oily and acne prone. Having used this Aloe Vera Gel for a year now, I can surely say it has worked for me here is my detailed review on the product.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – Aloe Vera Gel for natural beauty, safety and useful for removal of pigmented spots.

Ingredients– Aloe Vera 90% W/V, Base Material – Q.S., Permitted Colours – Tartazine Yellow and Brilliant blue, Vitamin E, Fragrance and Preservatives Q.S.

PRICE – 75 INR for 150ml

MY REVIEW

The Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel comes in a transparent plushy tube with an orange flip open cap. The transparent tube enables you to see through how much product is left on the tube. It is also available in a smaller pack but the bigger tube is better if you ask me. The packaging is simple and nice and I have travelled with this tube for a number of occasions and it has never disappointed me at all. The aloe vera gel has the consistency of a clear gel with a greenish tinge in it, thanks to the use of colors (see the ingredients). I feel the addition of colors were absolutely unnecessary because we all are aware of the fact that raw aloe vera gel is itself clear and thus green color was of no use. The product has a faint aloe vera smell with a refreshing aroma but it is not going to irritate the nasal senses at all. Even on the skin, it stays for an hour or half and then fades off.

You require a very less amount of product and only a pea size amount will surely suffice for face and neck. The product has a slimy texture in a gel form and spreads well on the surface of the face. Initially, for about 2-3mins you will feel as if it is slimy and sticky on the skin but after that time, it gets completely absorbed into the skin, with a satin matte finish and yet hydrating at the same time. It gives a soothing and cool sensation to the skin right after you apply. Thus, it is a great product when the skin is literally scorched after being in long hours under direct sun.

Around the staring of 2015, I faced severe acne problem and had to visit a dermatologist. I was strictly directed not to use any kind of product except for the medicines he gave me. Now, funny part is after having those medicines they dried my skin like parched land and my skin felt stretchy and dull all the time. I was little afraid of using any moisturizer but on a suggestion from a friend, I started using the Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel. To my surprise, it never broke my skin out even after a year and half. It hydrates my oily skin, prevents the acne and works very well before applying makeup as well. However, it doesn’t cures acne or any kind of skin pigmentation. I do suffer from slight pigmentation around the mouth but it is still persistent and the aloe vera gel didn’t do anything about it. For winters, I add 2-3drops of vitamin E oil or any facial oil with it and massage onto the skin.

You can also use this gel for massaging the skin. Since it remains slimy for some time, massaging the skin increases the blood circulation and gives a natural radiance to the skin. I have also used the Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel for under eyes as I have dry eye area. It nicely hydrates the area but only for around 2-3hours and then you have to really it again. For oily eyelids, it is a great option. You can use the Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel for body lotion when you don’t want anything too hydrating. Just make sure not to step out of the house without sunscreen for face and body.

WHAT I LIKED

1. Nice and hygienic packaging.

2. Gel form and gets readily absorbed.

3. Works for every skin type.

4. Prevents acne.

5. Cools down the sunburnt skin.

6. Hydrates the skin without making it oily.

7. Reasonable price tag.

8. No availability issues.

WHAT I DISLIKED

1. Does no enhancement to the texture of the skin.

2. No effect on pigmentation.

3. Added colors.

RATING – 4/5

Quality: 3.5/5

Value for money: 4.5/5

Availability: 5/5

OVERALL – All in all, Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel gave me a good experience for an inexpensive face moisturizer, body lotion and massage gel and I am really happy with the way it has worked for my skin. It is also available very easily now.

Patanjali Body Ubtan Review

By Nidhal

There are few things as nourishing, relaxing and advantageous for your skin as slathering a rich blend of all-natural ingredients on one’s skin. Nuts ,fruits, herbs… all finely powdered to form an aromatic blend of ‘Ubtan’ is a treat for one’s skin. Not only is one’s skin deep cleansed but also the layer of dead skin cells is exfoliated. Expectations certainly skyrocket when an all-natural Ubtan comes from Patanajali- Baba Ramdev’s pharmacy. It goes without saying that I will review PATANJALI BODY UBTAN today and let you know how it fared for me.

PRICE- Rs 60/- for 100g

DIRECTIONS FOR USE– Add sufficient quantity of water to 20-30 g of Body Ubtan to make a consistent paste. Apply on body. Massage gently. Rinse off with water.

INGREDIENTS- Chironji, red lentil, black gram, barley, mustard seeds, soybean, rice, almond, turmeric and camphor.

WHAT IT CLAIMS- Enhances fairness, imparts glow to skin, reduces dark spots and blemishes.

MY EXPEREINCE-

Packed in a simple plastic pack, Patanjali Body Ubtan’s packaging is somewhat disappointing. Why? Once cut open, the contents need to be transferred to a container because 100 g cannot be used in one go. Storing it in the pack in which it comes makes it prone to contamination as well as spillage. While the argument that it costs merely Rs 60/- per pack which is dirt cheap is admissible yet the provision of a zipper pack would have altogether eliminated all these woes once and for all. Hence, there is room for improvement as far as packaging is concerned.

The ubtan is predominantly fine with few coarse granules. They aren’t harsh or abrasive. So, do not fret that your skin will redden on slathering/massaging it. I think it can be conveniently mixed with rose water, raw milk ,curd or any base ingredient for that matter. Adding water is a mere recommendation for the producers which I followed. The paste so obtained has a pleasant and not overpowering aroma. I have used it a number of times and even if kept for more than half an hour, it does not stain your face yellow.

The presence of slightly coarse granules facilitate scrubbing and aid removal of dead skin cells’ layers. Upon removal, my skin looks squeaky clean, deeply cleansed and radiant. It does not suck moisture off one’s skin and that spells cheer for those with dry/excessively dry skin. I can’t comment on its efficacy or the lack of it when it comes to oil removal for oily/excessively oily skin type. Mine is dry and it hasn’t made my skin dry post wash ever. That said, it doesn’t even moisturise it either which I have no issues with because it doesn’t claim to do so.

I find it suitable for use by all skin types. If you are on a shoestring budget, grabbing a few packets of this won’t even pinch you. This one’s a good investment in my humble opinion 🙂

GOOD-

1. Budget-friendly

2. Readily available

3. Deep cleanses skin

4. Does not suck moisture hence, apt for dry and extremely dry skin types

5. Imparts radiance and NOT fairness which is plausible

6. Imparts a squeaky clean feel

7. All-natural composition

8. Apt for use by all skin types

BAD-

1. Packaging needs to be revamped.

RATING-4.5/5

Editor’s Note: This sounds very good Nidhal, definitely in my Patanjali haul list.

Patanjali Kesh Kanti Aloe Vera Shampoo Review

By Taniya

Patanjali is a well known brand in the Indian market. It is famous for its affordable and effective health, hair and skin care products. The product that I am going to review today is a haircare product – PATANJALI KESH KANTI ALOE VERA SHAMPOO. Now lets see how this product fared for me.

What it claims- Prevents hairfall, minimize split ends, removes dirt from hair and scalp. Makes hair thick and beautiful.

Usage- Take 2-3 ml of product on hand, message on wet hair and then rinse off. The whole usage instruction is written in Hindi though.

Ingredients: 

Each 10ml contains extract of

● Aloevera- 500mg

● Hibiscus rosa sinensis – 1.0mg

● Ocimum sanctum (tulsi) – 1.0mg

● Baccopa monnieri (bhrami) – 1.0mg

● Sapindus trifoliatus (reetha) – 1.0mg

Price – 75 INR for 200ml of product

Shelf life – 2 years

My take:-

This new launch from Patanjali Ayurved has a different packaging than their other variants. This one comes in a transparent bottle and it very easy to see the amount of product left. The flip top cap shuts tightly with a click which makes it travel friendly.

 

The shampoo is light green in colour with a gel consistency but when I apply it on my wet hair it lathers very well and my hair is clean in the first wash itself. The smell is citrusy and is mainly like their aloevera gel making it very refreshing for me. It lingers for a good time after I have finished washing my hair.

I am using this product for about 2 weeks now and I have seen my hair become soft and manageable after each hair wash. Even when I washed my hair once without conditioner, it didn’t make my hair very dry and rough. It has controlled the oiliness of my hair and even after 2 days my hair feels soft and so much clean. It has controlled my hairfall to some extent but I can’t comment on split ends as I don’t have as such.

There is no mention of parabens or SLS in the ingredient list so I will like to infer that it is free from these harmful stuff which is a big yay for me. The cons that I feel might be the availability as Patanjali products are sometimes out of stock and are not easily available online. Again I need a little more quantity of shampoo than their other variants for my mid-length hair. But considering their price, I feel it is a steal deal.

Pros-

● Affordable and effective

● Ayurvedic so no side effects

● Contains all good ingridients especially aloevera

● Makes hair soft, smooth and manageable

● Controls hair fall

● Controls oiliness in hair

● Refreshing smell

● Does what it claims

● No parabens or sls

● Better than their other variants

Cons-

● Availability might be an issue

● Need more quantity than others

● Not completely preservative or chemical free

● Packaging can be better

Repurchase and recommendation – Yes in both cases. I love this shampoo specially for summers and monsoons when both me and my hair need to feel fresh.

Overall- It is a very effective shampoo from Patanjali with all natural goodness and it does what it claims to do. And considering the price it is a definitely worth a try.

Editor’s Note: That’s a nice review Taniya, I am looking at trying a few Patanjali products, this one definitely seems worth a try.

Patanjali Divya Gulab Jal/Rose Water Review

By Archana

Rose water is one common product in everyone’s skincare regime, irrespective of skin type or concerns. It is a multi-purpose product with many benefits. There so many brands offering rose water nowadays, right from budget friendly ones like Dabur, Banjaras to high- end luxury brands like Kama Ayurveda and Forest Essentials. Today’s review is about a budget friendly rose water from Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali. Read on to know whether you should go for it or not.

Product Claims:

Ingredients & Directions to use:

Price and quantity: Rs.25 for 120ml.

Packaging:

It comes in a transparent plastic bottle packaging with a pink screw cap. On opening the cap, there is an inner stopper which closes the mouth of bottle. You need to use a pin to make a hole in the stopper. But carrying it around is not a good idea as I have noticed some spillage while travelling. I now transfer some to my Fabindia spray bottle for travel purposes. One big con I didn’t like in the packaging was that all the details of the product are mentioned in hindi. Considering the fact that Patanjali products are sold all over India, I think they should start printing in English.

Texture and fragrance:

It is just like plain water in color and consistency. The fragrance is very soothing and natural of fresh roses. The ones that I used from Dabur and Banjara’s, I felt were kind of artificial. But this one has a more natural fragrance. But it is very mild and not overpowering and so won’t bother sensitive noses.

My experience:

I have been using Patanjali Rose Water in many different ways. Firstly, I use it as toner after washing my face. It hydrates my face instantly and also helps to blend in the moisturiser easily. After coming home from travelling in the hot sun, I spray some on my face. It instantly refreshes me and soothes and cools the sun-burned skin. I also used this rose water to mix my homemade face packs for extra benefits. For eyes, I soak two cotton pads in this rose water and place over my eyes and relax. It calms down irritated area under the eyes which occurs while scrubbing and also relieves puffy eyes. As I have very sensitive skin under the eyes, most of the eye creams and gels don't suit me. But this has helped to keep my under eye area well-hydrated and healthy. I haven’t faced any breakouts with Patanjali Rose Water and I feel it can be used by sensitive skin types also.

During winters, I mix few drops of glycerin to this rose water and apply all over body to nourish and moisturize dry and parched skin. Since, its very affordable I find it apt to be used on body too, unlike the expensive rose waters from higher end brands. It doesn’t give any miraculous results but then at this price point what can you expect. It is just a daily use product which helps to maintain healthy skin.

Pros:

* Light and hydrating.

* Soothing and natural fragrance.

* Can be used in multiple ways.

* Suitable for all skin types.

* Budget friendly.

Cons:

* Packaging is not travel-friendly.

Rating: 4.1/5

Verdict: Overall, Patanjali Divya Gulab Jal is a budget friendly rose water for everyday use. It can be used in different ways for face, body and even hair. Compared to the other brands like Dabur and Banjara’s which fall under the same price range, I feel Patanjali rose water is more natural from the fragrance. I would definitely recommend all of you to give this a try.

Editor’s Note: Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel and Rose Water are their cult products, very economical and good quality. Nice review Archana

Top 5 Patanjali Products in India

By Sanchita

Ayurvedic medicines have its roots in India and no matter how much we rave about luxury cosmetics, we always find our way back to herbal skincare. Patanjali have reached out everywhere in India and has been acknowledged as one of the most popular herbal brand. The range is wide and covers everything – from skincare, cosmetics, haircare and even health issues. Their availability is good if you have a store nearby and they are also expanding. Thankfully, there is a store near my place and I got to try several products from the brand. There are such products I always repurchase as it is beyond commendable.

Here’s my top 5 Patanjali Products for you all.

1. Patanjali Aloe Vera Gel – (75 INR for 150ml)

This is the product which grabbed my attention on the brand. I have used a lot of moisturizer for oily skin, but this is one exceptional products that worked wonder for my skin. it has a refreshing fragrance and gives a soothing sensation to the skin. The absorption takes no time at all and makes the skin hydrated yet matte. I also face some discoloration issue around the mouth due to threading but this one has eliminated a lot after a prolonged usage. You require a very tiny amount for face and neck and makes the skin smooth, supple and hydrated. It is a must-have for oily and acne prone skin.

2. Patanjali Divya Kanti Lep – (60 INR for 50 gm)

This is sort of face pack powder that needs to be applied as a paste mixed with rose water. The Ayurvedic blend of ingredients helps to rid of skin problems like removing dark spots, pimples, acne and other signs of ageing and giving your skin a natural and healthy glow. It contains the goodness of Haldi, Manjeeth, Chandan, Aloe Vera, Jalphal, Kapoor, etc. My stubborn acne marks starting fading off when I had diligently used this product thrice a week. The results are surely effective and it is another praiseworthy product from this brand I have used.

3. Patanjali Divya Badam Rogan Almond Oil – (100 INR for 60 ml)

I must have exhausted 10-12 bottles of this one and so you can imagine my love for this. From skin care to hair care, I incorporate the product literally everywhere. I have dark circles and extremely dehydrated eye area and I use the almond oil regular before bedtime. During winter months, I apply this on my dry patches to sooth and rejuvenate them. For hair, I sometimes used it with a concoction of coconut oil or sometimes alone. It can also be used as makeup remover and highly effective for eyes. The price is reasonably price and also one of the bets almond oil I have used.

4. Patanjali Kesh Kanti Milk Protein Hair Cleanser – (95 INR for 200ml)

Shampoos often dry out the hair but this one is exceptional. It has the goodness of bhringraj, mehendi, neem, tulsi and aloe Vera which works magically on my heat-damaged lifeless mane. It effectively cleanses the scalp of any layer of dirt, grime, oil and sweat and makes the hair nourished and soft. It lathers well and has a pleasant aroma to it. It works great for normal to dry hair and meritoriously balances the moisture level of the hair.

5. Patanjali Amla Juice – (100 INR for 1litre)

Sometimes you have to take care of the skin from inside. Living in a world of delicious junk food, our digestive system often takes a toll and results in various skin problems like acne, pigmentation, dehydration, dullness, etc. Patanjali Amla Juice, 20ml per day, is an excellent choice for a healthy juice which is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. From healthy skin to hair – Amla can improve the health in every way. It also boosts my metabolism and keeps the weight in control and has cured my hair loss problem completely. The taste is a slight put-off but the product will do miracle for your health.

So, which is your favorite Patanjali product?

Editor’s Note: My husband swears by Patanjali products, Aloe vera juice and jams being his favourites. I haven’t tried any of their beauty or skincare products but the Aloe Vera gel is definitely on my list, will check these out too. Nice compilation Sanchita 🙂
