Lakme Matteffect Refreshing Astringent
I have a very oily skin. No matter what I apply my skin gets oily after 2-3 hours. A friend of mine suggested me to try this astringent as she was using this since a long time and she swears by this product.
I have been using this astringent for almost 6 months now and I think it’s time to review this product. This product might benefit all those oily skinned beauties who have a hard time to keep their face matte for a long time.
Ingredients:
Glycerin, salicylic acid, methanol, perfume, alcohol.
What the product claims:
TONING : Just as cleansing is important to get rid of the impurities, toning is essential as it closes the open pores. Toning is a must for women with oily skin, because open pores leave you susceptible to getting acne.
How it works:
Contains salicylic acid, an oil control ingredient recommended by dermatologists for women with oily skin
Results: Tightens pores and minimizes appearance of enlarged pores.
Directions of use:
MATTEFFECT Morning Fresh – Cleanse, Tone and Mattify your skin with the all-new Matteeffect.
Price: 150 for 120 ml (approx.)
My Experience:
I have used this astringent and have fallen in love with it. This is a blue liquid with a nice refreshing smell. Once you apply it you get a nice fresh feeling which lasts for quite some time. I wash my face squeaky clean and make sure no dirt still remains on my face. After this I apply this astringent and lo! I am really surprised at the amount of dirt the cotton pad brings out from my face…. It really does a good job in cleaning the dirt off from your face..
The nice blue colour spray bottle makes it even easier to get the product out of the bottle. It has nice chic packaging and is absolute travel safe. I love its blue colour, sophisticated and sleek look.
It is for oily skinned girls but a friend of mine who has normal skin uses it and swears by this product.. It does not dry out her face. But it might be drying for beauties with extremely dry skin as it contains alcohol. For dry skinned beauties you need to use a light moisturiser after using this astringent.
Also it contains salicylic acid – an advantage for pimple prone skin. Truly, this astringent for me has helped in regulating excess oil, controlling acne, shrinking the pores and refreshing the skin, thus giving it a natural glow.
I feel very refreshed after applying this astringent. I simply love it.
Pros:
- Does what it claims.
- Nice chic packaging.
- Spray bottle
- Minimises pores.
- Contains salicylic acid.
Cons:
- Contains alcohol.
- Might dry up the skin for dry skinned beauties.
Will I repurchase :
Definitely !!
