Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum Review

I have always liked a good Lotus product every now and then. Sometime during the start of winters I decided to include serums in my skincare routine, now a dry skin baby like me needs to think a couple of times before adding something new to my skincare routine so as to not further dry my skin and that too in winters.

I started using the Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum from December last year and I was using it on alternate days and night, as I do not believe using something new regularly just to see how my skin is reacting in the first few days.

I picked this product from the Nykaa winter sale and managed to get a good discount as well. The MRP is INR 545 for 30ml and usually you do end up getting discount of 20-25% on Nykaa. Though, it is not a super pricey product, discounts always help while purchasing a "never tried before" product. I was waiting to use it for a month or so, before I could share my two cents on it.

Now about the product

The serum helps in protecting your skin from exposure to sun and helps in recovering the natural fairness. It includes active agents Amla Berry, Lychee and Punarnava roots and basically is a skin lightening product. It is a glass bottle and contains 30ml of product. The lid needs to be pushed 2-3 times before you open the bottle to squeeze out product through the nozzle. You can pump the product directly to your hand or face because of the hygienic packaging. It is quite small and travel friendly and can be easily carried in your makeup bag. 



My take on the product

I did not have much expectations out of serum as a step in my skincare regime. I included it for a specific purpose and I think it did the job of making my lifeless skin glowy and active in about a weeks' time. My first impression was both 50-50, I was happy with the small and sturdy packaging; however, the pump was bit of a nuisance to handle as it is difficult to gauge, how much product you want to pump and the product absorption in the pump is not consistent.The serum feels cool and hydrating on the skin on first application, after a couple of seconds, it feels a bit sticky (may be something to do with the formulation) and then in a few seconds the skin feels refreshed and glowy. The reason I included it in my skincare during the winter as my skin tends to get dull and lifeless around that time of the year and a little brightening activity was all I wanted.



My Recommendation

I can easily say, it is not a must have product in your skincare routine. Serums are definitely making their way into a most loved step and there are plenty of options in the market. Surely, this is one of the most economically priced serum for the amount of product you get. I would say, that if you just want to play around on including a serum or  for simply trying out the brand, you can experiment with Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum and may be use it once a while to bring that glow. If you, think, you need a serum as a very important step in your skincare game, I believe, it would be better to know your skincare needs and check if this product has the formulation for your skin before you make the purchase.

VLCC Pista Massage Cream Review

For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon. I thought to give this product   a try , as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it! About the packaging and price It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage.  About the product and usage The cream is green in color and has a slightl...

M.A.C Lipstick Review - M.A.C Matte Lipstick - Shade Diva

My M.A.C Lipstick in Diva When it comes to M.A.C lipsticks I can go on and on, a true lipstick lover will know that M.A.C lipstick is the queen of lipsticks because of its wide range of formulas and shades. Whenever I buy an high-end lipstick, for me the shade matters the most, I do not like buying bold shade for fear I won't use it much and it won't justify the price. I wanted a red tone matte lipstick from M.A.C but at the same time I did not want a bold red or orange red tone lipstick as it would not flatter my skin tone. I almost left the counter thinking red is out of question, matte red is totally out of question and then I happen to swatch M.A.C Diva - I always looked at M.A.C Diva as more of an autumn-wintery shade and that it would look more festive and wine shadey kinda color. My First Impression: My mind: "Oh my my, it can be red, ok get your view right - its more blue-based red on you, not redddd...marooooon, maroon is a nice shade!"  My...

Things I Am Loving Lately...

Google Image Since, it is a month of love and things related to love, I thought why not throw in a post about things I've been loving lately... Well, I know the whole buzz about Valentines' Day and all the days preceding to it are not so much related about loving "things", so much as loving a person or people or even yourself. But, I am no expert on the subject to write anything lovey-dovey, so I will do what I think I know best, talk about things I have loved recently. Reading I won't classify myself to be a voracious reader or anything close to that, but every now and then, I enjoy a good book. Reading is a great way to realize how simple life can be, without all the complexities of the wifi and social media. I read a book by Sudha Murty - Wise And Otherwise, it was a good start to begin my reading game again, as it is a compilation of 51 short stories, mostly based on her experience and observations about day to day life. I am currently readin...
