10 Budget Skin Care Products Review for Combination Skin

BUDGET PICKS BASED ON IMBB RECOMMENDATIONS

All the reviews on IMBB , of lately have really helped me well in buying skin care products/ cosmetics wisely.

budget shopping

There are times when I go out shopping and I access IMBB via my phone just to see if there is a review about the product , whether I should be buying it or not. Also, I have learnt that a lot of our Indian brands have budget products which should be given a fair chance too. So, I shopped for all these and I am glad I did . 🙂 🙂 🙂

AROMA MAGIC SKIN TONER
PRICE- Rs. 145 for 220 ml

Aromamagic Toner

I am absolutely in love with this toner as of now. No wonder it is one of the most raved about toner. It instantly cools and refreshes the face .

FAB INDIA TEA TREE TONER
PRICE- Rs. 125 for 200 ml

Fabindia Tea Tree Toner

I have not tried this one yet, but I am sure this will work well (since its tea tree 🙂 ) in real bad summers & when my skin will get extremely oily.

DIVYA PHARMACY’S ROSE WATER/ GULAB JAL

  1. interestingly enuf i dont use any of these products for my oily/combination skin. Veg peel, Fab India tree toner, hydrating vit e and the aroma magic mineral glow look really appealing. Out of these if i had to buy just 2 products immediately, which one would be the my best bet? any recommendations?

    i currently use oil of olay cleanser and moisturizer, TBS tea tree blackheads scrub, cucumber toner (cant recall the brand :(), Maybelline eye gel

      1. thanks..will buy that for sure..the word ‘glow’ sounds good. i am already imagining it :)..and yaaaa you are right. Biotique it is. just wierd that I use it everyday and I could not recall

  2. Nice article Noopur..Every item makes alotta sense 🙂 :waytogo: :waytogo: Me too got Fab India’s Vit E Moisturiser after reading Ansh’s article on Moisturisers below 300 bucks.. 🙂 :yahoo: :yahoo: I totally love it :heart: ..Summers make my skin so oily and its so hard to find suitable products na..

    Btw, Does the neutrogena moisturiser really work well?

    1. hey zara, i am using the fab india moisturiser thz days… it is grt for oily skin, in summers…absolut mattnesss….. :toothygrin:

Nooo.. :(( I have no Fab India..I have no Aroma magic..no Jovees and er..other stuffs too!! :weep: I’ve used Himalaya’s Sanitizer once but it used to leak off so much while I carried it with me during my travel back to home that I just dumped the bottle on my way only!! 😐 😐 It was spoiling everything in my bag, despite me keeping it safely wrapped in my hand towel.!!!

        1. ohhhhooo.. u have all the germanyyy ka maaalll naa… :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

  3. I need suggestion on good night cream or lotion, my requirements are spot reduction and hydrating and price may vary with any range…

    1. hey rachna, first of all, start wid the basic CTM routine, and u ll see d diffrnce urself….
      use a good toner for reducing spots/marks/blemishes on the face…
      i havent used any spot reduction thing as yet, but i hav heard using lemon/ vitamin c can reduce spots…
      ohk, n abt d night cream, ideally it is suggested after 25…

      1. But Noopur I follow regular CTM, very recently i m getting too lots of pimples(yes i had in teenage , but it has eventually stopped in my 20s), which is leaving behind scars….. worried

        1. rachna, ther can b n no. of reasons for ur breakouts…
          i hope ur choosing the right products according to ur skin typ… also, follow a gud diet for a few day wid less oily food… adopt som kind of wrkout … n if nothing seems to work,,u must contact a dermo. he/she will guide u better… 🙂 take care :puchhi:

  4. Any1 from Delhi could tell me some good shop for make products ??? I have to run from one shop to another in order to get some :sweat: :sweat:
    M so fed up with this … as the chemist shops I have in my area dont keep all products …
    I stay in south delhi … any suggestions gals ?:) ?:)

  5. nice review noopur…. :waytogo: …..i like aroma magic glow scrub & toner ….currently m not using any toner..bcs i hav tried biotque cucumber but not worth :wilt: ..like very tight feeling after using that…so i was scared to using any toner 😥 …now fter ur suggestion i want to use this on…hope for the best :thanks:

    1. tight feeling?? ohkk.. try getting back to aroma magic/ fab india s lavender toner… n dont b scared of toners, girl… :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

  6. hey good listing…you should add lacto calamine as well, its very good for sensitive acne prone skin….thanks for the post.

    1. hey akhila, i knw lacto is good for acne prone skin but somehow it doesnt suit me 🙁
      in dis list i included wht all i shopped for seeing imbb reccoz…

  7. Noofoor excellent post. Although my skin care routine is different but it totally inspires to see what others do to keep their skin healthy and glowing. 🙂 🙂 I love the aroma magic almond lotion I’ll def give toner a try. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

    1. thnkooooo rati :victory2: :victory2: :victory2: :victory2: :thanks: :thanks:
      u hav dry skin naa, tabhi u lik dat almond lotion, i bought it once n found it toooooo heavy for my skin 🙁
      n ya, u must try the toner.. u ll love it :snicker: :snicker: :snicker:

  8. great list noopur.. I had purchased fab india tea tree toner.. But i get a slight stingy sensation when i apply it.. So im kinda scared to use it :talktohand:
    been using dabur gulabari as a toner.. Will give aroma magic a try.. My friend swears by it..
    Thinking of checking out fab india hydrating gel.. My skin is so sensitive n highly prone to break outs.. I tried the new dabur uveda moisturiser.. Did not break me out,, n gives a nice dewy glow.. Contains spf too.. So me likes so far but using in moderation…

    Hey akhila.. Hows ur ctm routine turning out? Wat r u following these days…

    1. :thanks: :thanks: pia….
      see, wen it comes to skin care, u never know wht may suit one person really well , will work on others or not..
      i once used kaya skin toner n had terrible stinging sensation..later i learnt tht it stings, if u hav sensitive skin, so it is really a task to find the right products for ur skin i knw…

    2. Pia,

      Thanks to you for your suggestion….I am using lacto calamine and only lacto calamine these days….its so goooooooooood….THANKS A TON for all the help, so far “TOUCHWOOD”, so far, I have nt seen a new break out….since the time I started using this, and I dont feel tempted to use anything with this….I wash my face with cetaphil and apply LC thats for the day and for the night….nothing else….and my face looks calmed down, though it has some oily patches by the next morning, its not looking like a battleground now….THANKS TO YOU GIRL.

      1. i am so glad it worked for u 🙂
        yday my mum in law was saying my face looks clearer than b4.. Left side scars hardly can b made out .. Touchwood… Yayyyy!!

        1. I believe I will continue this one as long as the company manufactures this….3 weeks ago, my MIL told me I have got bad attack of pimples and scars, shez coming back this weekend, she might be able to figure out the progression better than my hubby….but this one is a blessing for me….atleast so far

          I ran across the street to get this one, the same day you suggested, and its working good since then….my derm appointment is on this weekend, lets see, what she has to say….

          Pia THANKS A BILLION :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: for the suggestion…….MAY GOD BLESS YOU :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi:

      1. Ohh… 😛 😛 he he….But stilll its very quiet quiet here!! Jomol is not seen since yesterday..wonder where Mr. Jomol took her for her b’day party!! 😀

          1. :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

            1. i think the hen pigeon staying near my window has some extra marital.. Acc to sanjeev she was not on in her nest from 1 am to 4 am. O:) O:) O:)

    aya nah!
    ha ha :aajanachle: :aajanachle:

    kal exam ke bad phone :cheers:

  11. :waytogo: :waytogo: noopur..a suggestion- i have oily-acne prone skin..so will aroma magic glow scrub wud be OK for me..(jus to give u an idea-it gets sensitive even i go for normal threading..like gets red n all :-/ )..

    secondly, whr can i get Jovees products in delhi.. ?:) ?:)

    1. preeti, ideally u shud never scrub ur face wen u hav breakouts… as tht can spread d infection on entire face … if u hav them on the particular part of the face avoid it n do it on d rest of d face…
      n always scrub wid very light hands/ wid a gentle massage if u hav dat sensitiv skin..
      which part of delhi do u live, i can guide u abt jovees products’ availablity in north side…

        1. so, she shud be shopping … not u :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

  12. I am so picking up the fab india tea tree toner this time,my biotique one is just about to get finished…You know Noopur,you have actually listed all the products I was thinking to buy,like seriously ! :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:
    By the way,hows the veg peel pack ?? I havnt bought it yet because of the mehnat involved in it..mixing the toner and all :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep:

    1. ohhh grttt….do buy it, its niceeee if u hav oily skin… but let me tell u , it has dat typical medicy tea tree smell… if ur skin is modertly oily, then buy aroma magic toner…
      i lik d vege peel pack..its good….i see a diffrnc in acne blemishes….acha, if u hav breakouts on ur face DONOT rub/scrub its granules..just apply it then

  13. sent alrdy?
    are wahhhhhhhhh post se skin care ka saman aegaaa
