Lever Ayush Anti Marks Turmeric Face Cream: Review

I love ayurvedic products and have tried several brands providing them. When Hindustan Unilever, one of the top FMCG brand owner launched their Lever Ayush range, I was very excited to get my hands on them. I have few marks on face, pimple marks and wanted something which can help in reducing them. 

To start with the wide Lever Ayush range, I bought Lever Ayush Anti Marks Turmeric Face Cream from various turmeric products available with the brand, hoping it will work for me. Let's get started with the review and see if it works or not!

My Take

I have been trying new ayurvedic creams and lotions lately, most of them claimed to work miracles. However, not all of them work best. Similarly, Lever Ayush Anti Marks Turmeric Face Cream also have high claims, but is unable to fulfill all of them. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now, but there is no fairness or anti marks effect. I have a fair skin with a few slight pimple marks around cheeks. They are very light and the cream was unable to clear them, let alone work on dark spots.

Yes, it has a matte effect on the skin, so if you want a face cream which gives you a matte finish, this can be a good option. Girls with dry skin should stay away from it. I have normal skin with oily T zone and it made my skin feel dry after application. I also expected it to remove at least little of tanning on my hands, but, it failed to that as well, so no anti tanning effect.

Texture

If you have tried Fair and Lovely ever, it has a texture and look close to that. You have to be very quick in applying it otherwise you will have whitish layer on your face.

Pros

• Comes in a tube so easy to handle.
• Travel friendly
• Mattifying effect on the skin
• A slight glow which lasts until you start sweating.
• Affordable
• Easily available

Cons

• No "Spot-less Fairness" as it claims
• No effect on marks. Doesn't even have effect on slight marks. 
• Drying. Not suitable for dry skin.
• Has parabens
• Has artificial colors
• You can get better results from ayurvedic home remedies. 

If you have tried any other Lever Ayush products, do share your views on them with me. 

Lots of Love!!!
