Fabindia Vitamin E Skin Hydrating Creme for oily skin

While searching for products that suits oily skin, I found this creme from Fabindia. Although it is meant for oily skin, it didn't helped with my too-oily skin. I urged (read forced) my hubby to use it (YES, I can do that!!) so that I know if it is of any good for normal skin. Unfortunately, he didn't continued it, I couldn't see what could have been an effective result on normal skin. Never mind, I'll tell you my share of experience with it.

Firstly, the packaging is NOT good enough. A jar with a plastic cap inside and outside is not very easy to use. The creme can get easily collected at one side of the jar, when kept in a travel bag. So not bag-friendly I'd say. And you have to dip your fingers in the creme, every time you wanna use it

Dunno why the real color of jar couldn't get captured

The smell is somewhat pleasing to me, its like I am smelling a fruit salad or something. Fabindia's products do have an earthy smell and I usually like them. This one's smell does not stay for long.

The creme is peachy pink in color and is gel like consistency, though a little runny than gels. It feels light on skin.

It does not leave a shiny look on the skin, but doesn't help with oil secretion afterwards. At least in my case, it didn't.

No sheen for good

Price is decent. A 180 bucks for a fabindia creme is fair enough.

The Good:

'Fabindia' (Coz I like and promote rural craftsmanship, although this product has nothing to do with it)

Price

Doesn't make skin look oily

Smell

The Bad:

Packaging is a little unhygienic

Doesn't have SPF, which is a MUST for me.

In a nutshell:

Consistency: 3/5

Smell: 3.5/5

Longevity: 2.5/5

Anything special: Naa

Rating : B

Recommended for those who have normal to oily skin that is prone to becoming oily during summers and humid monsoon. Not meant for people like me, who have extremely oily skin (esp during monsoons).
