This is my first ever try of Lakme’s skin care range. I have always loved their makeup products but this time I am madly in love with these capsules from their skin care range.
Price: 1250 for 28 capsules (very expensive, I must say!!)
These capsules contain pale yellow serum which is very light in texture. When I apply it on my skin, it feels so soft!! Its absolutely non greasy and gets absorbed instantly into the skin. My skin is oily and I am, generally, afraid of creams and serums but this one rocks for my skin as it provides perfect moisture to my skin without making it oily. And, the best part is it never broke me out!!
Though the product says “twist the capsule to open it“, I prefer scissors. The quantity of each capsule is 0.33gms and its enough for the entire face (I am wondering what about neck?? they could have given a bit more for the neck!!). Currently, I am on my second purchase and I am totally loving it. I can see wonderful glow on my face. (Thanks to my sister who forced me to use it and see the magic).
My uneven skin tone is more even and clearer. And the best part is my dark spots and post-pimple marks are lightened to some extent. It also keeps oil at bay for at leats 7-8 hours (when used at night). I don’t know why they called it a whitening treatment. It’s a great brightening treatment. I am absolutely in love with this serum though it’s little expensive for 28 capsules but its worth it.
Now, my friends are asking me what have I done on my face 😀 Lakme’s claim of freedom from 6 fairness blocks – dark spots, acne marks, uneven skin tone, oiliness, tanning and dullness is true. I think I have 5 of these problems and the product helped me reduce all of them. I am not tanned (you are so lucky!!). For me, it worked really great so I am going to buy it again.
Editor’s Note: I was attracted to the product right form the start and now, your review is literally making me run to the shop and get one for myself but damn the expense!!! 🙁
Great review, Punam!! Don’t forget to check out her blog here.
Other product I loved/hated from Lakme:
Lakme Vital Indulgence
Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Facewash
Lakme Fruit Blast Berrylicious Fruit Revitalizing Scrub Mask

Bhumika says
September 15, 2012 at 6:31 PMHey Poorna, do try Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate or Clearly Corrective Concentrate depending on ur needs..that is costlier but lasts much much longer..

September 16, 2012 at 10:36 AMI simply had to thank you so much once again. I am not sure the things I might have created without the ways documented by you over such a theme. It was a frightening condition in my opinion, nevertheless taking note of a new expert manner you solved that took me to weep for fulfillment. I’m just happy for the support and as well , believe you know what an amazing job you happen to be undertaking training men and women thru your blog post. Most likely you’ve never met any of us.

Swati Murti says
November 24, 2012 at 7:48 AMit can be used both day and night but night treatment is generally more effective and gets the best out of the product.

Krishu says
December 23, 2015 at 8:58 PMIts result only last for 2 to 3 days. Do it again make your skin looks dull and tanned. Some of my friend recommended me for Roop Mantra ayurvadic capsule,,,is it right for my skin as it is combination skin. Plz reply me fast because my wedding is on next month.
Swati says
December 23, 2015 at 10:21 PMI have no idea about the capsule!
