Biotique's Worst Product - Biotique Almond Under Eye Cream

I don't have puffy eyes, but of late, I noticed that there is a significant discoloration of  skin under my eyes --   I would hate to use the word dark circles, but I have to admit that the discoloration is quite prominent.

So while on the quest for a suitable under eye cream, I came across  Biotique's Bio-Almond -- an almond undereye cream that is supposed to brighten under eye area and eliminate puffiness.

My review:
I was impressed by the amount of natural ingredients in it. It has Oils of Nutmeg (jaiphal tail), Almond (badam tail), Sunflower (surajmukhi tail), Quince Seed Gel (Bihidana Luvab), Vitamin A, C, E and a cream base. It comes in a small green coloured jar and the cream itself is a bit thick.

Only a tiny bit is required to cover the whole under eye area. I applied the cream in small dots  and gently massaged the under eye skin every night.

But, sad to say, even after using it for over two months, I  hardly noticed any difference in the under eye area. I feel that it does nothing else apart from keeping your under eye area hydrated.  Also I hate to put my fingers into the jar each time and the cream has started to dry as well.

I think I should have transferred some of it into a smaller jar before using it. Also I could have had used a Q-tip, instead of my fingers to extract the contents and dot the eye area. To conclude, I am terribly disappointed with this eye cream and wish I had never purchased it.

  1. Hey,

    I too have used this product and sadly have had an similar experience.

    This cream did almost nothing for the undereye area.

  3. Biotique's Almond Under Eye Cream is a light nourishing cream that helps to protect delicate skin around the eyes.

    The bioweed under eye gel is quite useless. In fact it dried up my under eye skin and caused more lines. Also caused some rash around the area. Please avoid.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
