Review (5/5): loving ayurvedic skincare
After trying AAVRANI's exfoliator, I fell in love. I was excited to try their other products so this was a great kit for that without having to purchase the full size of each product. This came in a beautiful cardboard box, fancier than most trial kits.
There are four products to try:
- restoring serum
- activating exfoliator
- softening hydra-wrap
- eye rejuvenating elixir
My favorite is the hydra wrap and exfoliator.
The hydra wrap is quite moisturizing and rich without feeling heavy, nor did it feel sticky/tacky after applying. I could slightly feel it on my skin after applying but it wasn't greasy or uncomfortable. The exfoliator has little shea nut powder beads in it to help exfoliate and scrub, and has a thick consistency. It is like your typical face exfoliator except it has great, good for your skin, quality ingredients.
The eye elixir is good and felt like a gentler/less rich moisturizer compared to the face cream.
I didn't like the serum because of the consistency - it is too liquid-y for me, and is almost like a toner than your typical serum. It felt fine on the face but I just didn't like how runny it was. The dropper style dispenser is great but it was like dispensing toner.
Overall, I really enjoyed AAVRANI's product line. I'm actually surprised at the quality of the packaging for a trial set like this. It is just as luxurious as the full sized products. I feel bad that I'll just be discarding the bottle/packaging after use. AAVRANI products products smell nice (some are even fragrance free as I didn't smell any fragrance) and nothing felt sticky/tacky or uncomfortable on my skin. I have been loving a lot of these ayurvedic based skincare brands as they seem to use better, cleaner, and gentler ingredients. If you are looking for something like that, do give AAVRANI a try - it is good stuff. I am saving this set to bring with me on weekend getaways.
