Final Verdict:
Herbal phase was one of the biggest mistakes I did with my acne prone skin.These so called herbal companies Fabindia and Himalaya Herbals are loaded with chemicals with a hint of one or two herbal ingredients plus added comedogenic ingredients.I used this couple of times about 2-3 years and broke out almost on the same day every time.No fairness cream or face pack cannot make anybody fair,it is just these brands cashing in on false claims.Overall nothing exceptional about this product,it is just average.
My Rating:1.5/5
