Shahnaz Hussain Shaclear Skin Clear Anti Pimple Lotion
The name’s been around for
ages and users of the Shahnaz Husain brand swear by its effectiveness. The
Shaclear lotion too has many takers. It is made using herbal essences of rose,
margosa, ashwagandha and turmeric. The neem extracts used in its
creation is known for its anti bacterial and blemish fighting properties.
It controls inflammation of
the skin, prevents acne and fades away marks and blemishes, while keeping skin
soft and supple. The instructions for use on the pack suggest using cotton
swabs to apply but I find an ear bud does a better job. This lotion, however, is
not a quick fix and results will be seen only after regular use. A drawback I
feel is that it is a tad overpriced at Rs.500 for a 100ml bottle.
Biotique Wintergreen Oil Of Winter Green Cream
One of my all-time
favourite personal care brands, Biotique, brings yet another offering for those
stricken with acne. The Winter Green cream
contains extracts of the winter green herb known to have a soothing, cooling
effect on skin inflammations. It also contains neem oil along with
extracts of Bearberry and Euphorbia. It is known to be an effective solution to
fighting pimples and keeps the skin with a healthy glow.
Although a bit expensive at
Rs. 199 for 16 gms, I think this one is definitely worth the money as just a
tiny amount is to be used any time a stubborn pimple mark appears.
Himalaya Clarina Anti-Acne Cream
Himalaya’s products always
get mixed reviews and this one’s no different. I haven’t used this one
personally but I’ve seen it work on others. Clarina contains extracts
of aloe, almond and Indian Madder that together provide an antimicrobial,
anti-inflammatory and wound-healing solution. It also acts as an antioxidant,
astringent, and emollient with soothing effects on the skin. It is to be applied twice
daily on marks and lesions till they fade away. It is fairly cheap at Rs. 50
for a 30 gm tube.
Fabindia Vitamin E De-Pigmentation Cream
Fabindia personal care
brings this skin lightening cream with a variety of ingredients such as
Propylene Glycol, Vitamin E, Acetate, Gum Xanthan, Methyl Paraben, Allantoin and
Propyl Paraben. It claims to be an
intensive skin lightener providing natural de-pigmentation treatment that helps
even skin tone and control the production of melanin. It helps remove age
spots, freckles and blemishes and is free from harmful bleaches and
Hydroquinone. You can get it at all Fabindia outlets at Rs. 300 for a 100 ml
jar.
Lotus Herbals Papayablem Papaya-N-Saffron Anti Blemish Cream
This cream contains all
things natural with the essence of papaya, saffron and apricot, along with
clove oil, lemon peel extracts and wheatgerm oil that work towards lightening
your skin and nourishing it from within. This thick yet non-greasy cream is
skin friendly and maintains the pH balance of the skin, bringing out a natural
glow. It can be used once or twice
a day, and I’ve seen it works well by dampening the skin a bit before use. I
prefer to use it at night so it can work its magic by the next morning. It is
priced at Rs.295 for a 50 gm pack.
This list is of course,
isn’t exhaustive and there are many more options available. These, however, are
some of the best ones and are worth a shot. If your marks aren’t budging
though, it may be a good idea to see a dermatologist for a quicker, more
permanent solution.
