I'm not a big fan of winter.
Besides the boots and trench coats, i find winter dreadful esp because my skin starts to flake like snake shedding it's skin.
It looks and feels unpleasant.
So there's my sob story.
Hence, it is very important for me to use a good moisturiser .
Today i will be reviewing BRTC's Vitalizer toner and moisturiser set.
If you have dry skin like me esp in winter then you might want to try this out.
VITALIZER TONER
PACKAGE-
It comes in a sturdy pump container.
And has a translucent lid.
The lid falls out easily so it may not be travel friendly
(though i did take it with me to Bangalore and it didn't spill .
But that's probably because i wrapped it in thick layers of bubble wrappers)
THE TONER-
It is a transparent watery liquid.
After cleansing my face,i use two pumps for the entire face.
It's not sticky nor slimy.
Gets readily absorbed and my face already feels moisturised even before applying the cream.
I am not really a toner person but i'm starting to like this a lot.
It has a mild citrusy scent but nothing overwhelming and eventually goes away.
Sometimes when i want mild moisturisation ,i use this alone without the cream.
And it's more than enough for those who have moderately dry skin.
It claims to have skin brightening and whitening function.
It gives my skin a dewy glow.
But i'm not so sure about the whitening function.
Anyway ,i don't think i need it either lol
After application of the toner. It gets absorbed quickly. |
THE VITALIZER CREAM
PACKAGE-
The Vitalizer cream comes in a white tube.
I like it since it's very hygienic and doesn't require me to scoop it out.
THE VITALIZER CREAM-
It is a creamy pale yellow colored substance.
Has a very nice citrusy smell which i love.
I use this after applying the toner.
The consistensy is neither too thick nor runny.
It gets absorbed readily.
Just a tiny amount is required for the whole face as it spreads easily.
The staying power is upto 6 hours ,after which i have to reapply because my ultra dry skin starts flaking again.
It is indeed moisturising.
But sometimes i feel like it breaks me out.
So, i tend to skip the cream and use only the toner followed by BBcreams.
i'm still trying to figure it out.
OVERALL-
I love the products esp the toner.
It moisturises my face but doesn't make it look oily.
I sure won't mind buying this next winter .
If you are looking for the ideal winter skin care regime, i suggest you try this out :)
