It has a strong, pleasant fragrance. Sandalwood dominates the fragrance.

My Experience with Himani Boroplus Healthy Skin Advanced Moisturising Lotion:

My mom had got this lotion for herself. I was attracted to it mainly because of its wonderful smell. Also, I found the shape of the bottle quite nice. My mother said her skin stayed wonderfully moisturised for a long time after using the lotion. All this was enough to tempt me to use it.

The lotion is very heavy and thick. It is not so easy to spread and apply it, mainly because it is thick.

However, once applied, it gets absorbed quickly. I was not expecting this from the lotion.  I thought it will take a while to get absorbed, but I was surprised to find that it gets absorbed within minutes! However, it makes my skin greasy post application and the greasy residue remains for an hour or so, which according to me, is the biggest drawback of the lotion. It did make my skin soft. That propelled me to use the lotion again, despite the oily, greasy feeling. So, I used it the next day or rather, the next night. I woke up with really soft and smooth skin. The fragrance was as fresh and as strong as it was the night before.

I used it for another 2 or 3 days and then stopped using it altogether. However, my mother religiously used it till the bottle was almost over. She told me that once ¾th of the lotion was over, it was very difficult to get it out of the bottle. I guess that is because of its thick consistency. She had to repeatedly thump the bottle on her palm to dispense the lotion. That annoyed her and she gave up after 2 consecutive trials and threw the bottle into the bin, even though it had quite some product left.

Anyway, let me sum up the pros and cons of this body lotion for you:

Pros of Himani Boroplus Healthy Skin Advanced Moisturising Lotion:

  • It is enriched with a lot of natural ingredients.
  • It is inexpensive.
  • The packaging makes it travel friendly and convenient for usage.
  • It has a wonderful fragrance.
  • It does what it claims, i.e., makes the skin soft and smooth.
  • The fragrance is long lasting.
  • It gets absorbed quickly.

Cons of Himani Boroplus Healthy Skin Advanced Moisturising Lotion:

  • It is fairly thick in consistency.
  • It takes time to spread.
  • It leaves a greasy residue post absorption.
  • It is difficult to dispense the remnant product once 3/4th of it has been used.
  • Since it makes skin greasy, it is not suitable for daytime usage.
  • Some might not like the strong fragrance.
  • I have not come across this lotion everywhere, not seen it in malls, mostly seen it at grocery stores, so availability might be an issue.
  • I have not tried this on any cuts, wounds or cold sores, so I cannot comment upon its claim to heal those.

Will I Buy Himani Boroplus Healthy Skin Advanced Moisturising Lotion Again?

No, I won’t. This is too oily and greasy for my oily skin.

Will I Recommend Himani Boroplus Healthy Skin Advanced Moisturising Lotion?

Those with dry or very dry skin will benefit using this lotion, since it is creamy and will moisturise their skin well. Those with combination to oily and oily skin can give it a miss.

  1. Nice review Noorie :rose: ,

      Even I have a problem with oily greasy stuff, be it a moisturizer or cream, and thats mainly because then it becomes impossible to use it during daytime.

  2. Noorie great review :puchhi: …. i just hate this lotion it does nothing for my dry skin in winters :pan: :pan: :hunterwali:

    1. Thank u Nats! :puchhi:
      I’m shocked it doesnt soothe ur dry skin. 😯 I thought its so creamy that it will be liked by those having dry skin.

  3. Nice review, Noorie. :thumbsup: :toothygrin: I love heavy lotions but this one sounds too thick. I get super irritated by the ones which never seem to come out of their bottles. :headbang: Will skip this one, I think.

  4. Noorie…nice review….for us spring has already started…doing away with body lotions for now :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

    1. Thank u, Jomol di! 🙂 :thanks:
      Spring? 😯
      Here, the climate is far away from spring. Its turning out to be the coldest winter of my life! :tremble:

    1. Ya.
      Here the winters are moderate every year, we use sweaters/jackets/shawls only from mid dec to mid jan, then till feb 1st week its pleasantly cold. But this year, since early dec, the winter has been full on chilly and cold.

  5. Hey Noorie i too used the lotion and love the smell and it keeps my skin soft and moisturised and as far as getting the lotion out of the bottle i donot face any problem coz i keep the bottle upside down :)) its my HG lotion

  6. I hv used this lotion & it is thick enough to suit me well in d mild winter months of Oct, Nov on my dry skin but I dont like its fragrance. Though its very moisturising.
