Makari de Suisse Anti-UV Whitening Cream- Review

Hi everyone,

I have reviewed many products from Makari De Suisse. Almost all the products except their soap, have proved to be great and true on their value of cost. Today I’m going to evaluate about another product of this brand. Monsoon is on its climax and after that just within two months the cold winters will start. In the chilled weather, the most comfortable thought that comes into the mind is sitting in under the sun. But there is always a fear of some of the harmful sun rays of the sun. But if we apply a good sunscreen on our face and the parts that are exposed to the sun, we can save our skin from the damaging sun rays and enjoy the warm sunlight as well. Today I’m going to introduce you to an anti-UV sunscreen from Makari De Suisse which is going to prove a good sunscreen especially for winters.

Makari Anti-UV Whitening Cream

This is sunscreen lotion + whitening cream which saves from the damaging sunrays and evens out the skin if it has dark patches on it.



What it claims

A sunscreen and clearing cream to protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays, while preventing the formation of an uneven tan and maintaining a clear complexion. SPF 20 & This product is suitable for all skin types.

How to apply

Apply thin layer to cleansed face, avoid eye area, prior to applying make-up.

Net weight

100 ml

Price

Rs 3000

Packaging

Very classy and elegant which is a specialty of most of the Makari products. The product comes in a transparent slim pump out bottle with a golden cap which looks very beautiful. It is very handy and so comfortable to carry out for traveling.

In the mirror of my own experience



This sunscreen has a pretty unique smell which may or may not prove to be pleasant for everyone...but as far as I am concerned, the smell is quite good! Now onto the product- The cream is something like a tinted foundation in texture but of course it doesn't work like one. It has SPF 20 which is not much but still satisfactory. The product is quite heavy so is not suitable for oily skin at all but as far as normal-combination skin is concerned like my own in these monsoons, only a little amount is required otherwise it can make the skin greasy. but this has also proven to be a positive point as it did not dry out my skin & protected the face for almost the whole day. So the thing is that you need to be careful about the amount of product you'll be using according to your skin-type.

But for winters when my skin becomes super dry this will surely prove to be a very essential product in my skin care routine.



Good points



Stays on for very long & provides protection to the skin.

Good for normal-dry skin.

Has a pleasant smell!

Little amount is required to cover the whole face & neck.

Love the packaging....very handy too.





Bad points



Very heavy for combination-oily skin type. Even for normal skin, not suitable to use in the humid weather.

Low SPF.

Quite pricey as I don't feel that the product is as impressive as the Whitening Milk.

Gives a tanny look if the right amount is not used.



Rating

3.50\5



Finally....



So finally I would say that I'm not much impressed by this product right now but I hope that it's gonna be a really useful sunscreen for winters. I would not recommend it for oily, combo or normal skin but dry skinned people should surely give it a try as for them the texture & consistency is just perfect.



So which sunscreen are you loving in summers & winters???

Makari Beauty Whitening Milk-Review & photos

Hi pretty ladies,

You have read a lot of cosmetic reviews on my blog these days but today I’m bringing up a very different and amazing product which is related to your skin. AMAZING will not be a wrong word for this and trust me it's a really effective product. Today I’m reviewing about the Makari Beauty Whitening Milk which has an impressive formula for removing spots from the skin.

Makari Beauty Whitening Milk



This a moisturizing milk with a pleasant smell which moisturize very well the skin without make it greasy.

What it claims

This product is particularly effective against hyper- pigmented spots, age spots liver spots, scars and all signs of premature aging of skin. Regular use will keep your skin luminous, soft and in perfect condition. The beauty milk is 100% Hydroquinone free and deeply hydrating. Originally created for medical use this product delivers soft, healthy and safe result.

Skin types

It’s suitable for all skin types except acne prone skin.

Direction of use

Gently massage into skin twice daily after cleansing the skin.

Net weight

Price

Rs 2,400

Packaging

If I were to rate the packaging of this product, it would be nothing less than 5/5 coz the packaging is just marvelous. White with shiny golden combo is something that can be truly considered as grand…isn’t it?

This beauty whitening milk comes in a classy white bottle which has a beautiful golden cap & a golden bottom too.

In the mirror of my own experience

I was really impressed to see the royal packaging but as you know that we don’t invest our money only to see good packaging. The real thing is inside the bottle so I opened it and a light heavenly smell welcomed me. Hey I don’t know the smell of heaven but this was something that indulged me very deeply from the inside. Anyways I can’t explain it exactly.

Usually my skin is good but if you are a regular reader of my blog, I motioned about some brown spots on my forehead for which I have to get some concealer to hide them. These spots are due to the bad effect of sun light although I always use a sunscreen after going out but I’m a careless person, sometimes I forget and sometimes forget to reapply the sunscreen and as a result, I got this gift from sun:p I used this whitening milk not only in the day time but also at night before going to my bed. The smell insisted me to apply it at night also. Anyways, I used it for about 18-20 days and I was amazed to see my clean face without any spots on my forehead. This whitening milk not only made my skin spotless but also made it silky, soft and supple. I was pleasantly surprised to see its effect only in 20 days. I haven’t finished the bottle yet. Really it’s an amazing product from Makari. Usually after hearing the 'whitening' word we think about a product which is made for dark skin but this one is not for making one’s skin white but also spotless, luminous and perfect. I think the cost is worth its quality. It’s an impressive and effective formula by Makari.

Good points

  • It works according to it's claim.
  • The packaging is royal and classy.
  • The smell is as lovely as I've mentioned above.
  • The texture is milky but not runny. Easily can be taken out from the bottle and applied on the face.
  • It gets absorbed easily and makes it soft and supple without making it greasy.
  • It’s an effective formula for spots. I accept this after using this product.
  • It gives a quick effect. I saw its effect on my face only in 20 days. I admit that my spots were not dark but they disturbed me whenever I saw them on my forehead in the mirror.
  • The quantity is good. Even after using it for 20 days, more than half of the bottle is still left.
  • Besides removing the spots off the skin, it makes the skin soft and silky.

Bad points

The cost of this product is quite high but after realizing its effect, I can say that it is worth of it. We usually tend to spend a lot of money on expensive cosmetics but sometimes do ignore our skincare products. in my opinion, I will never spend so much on a cosmetic but if the product's for my skin I will definitely do so without much hesitation. So spending our money on an impressive product will not be wrong.

Final thoughts

Finally I can say that it’s a gift from Makari for the ladies who are worried about the pigmented spots on their faces. They can invest their money without any tension because this product would definitely work for them as it has done for me. Maybe dark spots would take some times to lighten but surely would be cleared after regular usage.

Recommendation

I'm happy to have got such a remarkable product and I will surely recommend it to everyone.

Will I buy it again?

I hope, I’ll not get any spots again on my face but if I get them again I’ll surely buy it.

Rating

5/5

So girls, it’s a unique and impressive product which can really make your skin spotless and make it clear and perfect. I love this whitening milk.

Makari de Suisse- Clarifying Exfoliating Antiseptic Soap-Review & photos

Hi lovely ladies

I hope you all are fine and happy in your different places. Sometimes I really wish that I could meet you guys, we all bloggers who live in different countries and places, are so interconnected to each other. I’m sure you all would be feeling the same like me. Anyways let me write about the today’s review and today I’m going to review a soap called: Makari de Suisse- Clarifying Exfoliating Antiseptic Soap which I had received a few weeks ago but I wanted to use it first for some days and notice its effect on my skin before writing its review.

Makari de suisse Clarifying Exfoliating antiseptic soap



It is a soap which is specially for exfoliating the skin and to make it bright and clear.

What it claims

With pure natural agent, the 'triple action soap' ensures the complexion you were waiting for. It’s a clarifying, exfoliating & antiseptic soap.

Ingredients

Sodium Palmate, Sodium Palm Kernelate,Aqua, Glycerin,Mulberry ( Morus Alba) Root Extract,Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Acid,Triclocarban, Parfum ( Fragrance), Sodium Chloride,Prunus Armeniaca( Apricot) kernel Extract,Tetrasodium EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate


Direction for use:

Suitable for all skin type. Use during bath or shower. For maximum results of the soap's whitening properties keep lather for at least 5 minutes.

In the mirror of my own experience
I didn’t use it on my face because I didn’t need to do so. I used it on my arms & thighs during bathing because I wanted to exfoliate these areas. I followed the rules for use. When I applied it for first time, the experience was not as expected. The granules were quite hard and scratched my skin so I had to apply it very carefully. I felt a bit of dryness in my skin after bathing which I didn’t like although I admit that I felt my skin clean at the same time but the dryness was irritating. I had to apply my body lotion for getting rid of the dryness. In this weather I never used body lotion. The first experience was not a good one so I didn’t want to use it again but I wanted to see the effects as well so I used it for a week. I accept that in spite of giving some dryness to my body it did exfoliate the areas where I had some tiny white heads. All the areas of my body became clear and clean from those heads. So I can say that it’s effective for exfoliating but at the same time it makes your skin dry. I think it’s good for oily skinned people.

Good points

It works according to what it claims, I can’t say anything about the whitening but it makes the skin clean and clear from heads.

Most of girls have problem of white heads on their body especially the area I mentioned above. This becomes greater problem in winters. So this soap is a good solution for it.

It’s good for oily skinned girls because it removes all the dirt and oil from the body.

I just love it's smell!!!♥ ♥ ♥

If you suffer from white heads on your face such as along the nose area, it’ll be an effective product for removing them but you have to be careful while applying it because the grain seeds can scratch your skin. The best way to apply it is that you rub it on your wet palm first, make sufficient lather, and then apply it on the area you want.

Bad points

The grain seeds are so hard and they can scratch your skin if you are not careful.

It makes the skin dry. So it’s not for dry skin at all.

In winter it can make the skin even drier.

The price is too much. One will surely think before buying it.

The quantity is too less after seeing the cost.

Final thoughts

Finally, in my opinion, it works well as it claims but it’s not for all skin types. It’s only for oily skin. Makari should give a soap for dry skinned girls too which can do the same work as this soap does. The grains should have been a bit softer which won’t harm the skin.

Rating

2.25/5

Recommendation

If you have oily skin, it’s for you. You can get rid of the black or whiteheads on your face and body which becomes a big problem sometimes.

Will I purchase it again?

No, it’s a no for me.

So girls, have you used this soap? What are your opinions and experience about this exfoliating soap??

Makari Clear Acnyl Cream-Review, swatches & pics

Hi ladies,

I was not feeling well since 2 days so you couldn’t see my new post and I’m sorry for that. I received many mails from readers regarding this absence and I really appreciate the fact that they all missed me...thanks a lot!!

Today I’m reviewing about a product which has really surprised me. It does happen sometimes that brands with less fame work even better than the highly popular brands and products . After seeing its effects I can only say that I’m very much impressed with this product.

Makari Clear Acnyl Cream



Makari Clear Acnyl cream is a formula for acne treatment.

What the product claims-

See the picture below...hope it's clear enough :D

Net weight-

100 ml but I got two sachets as a sample

Price

Exact price is Rs 3000 and you can buy it from Makari's Indian website

For US the price is $52.45 from makari.com

How to use it?

Apply twice daily on the face or any other parts effected by blemishes and acne with a gentle massage.

In the mirror of my own experience

Although my skin is normal but always it changes with the weather....as a result it becomes a bit oily in summers but still never had I faced any pimple problem. But unfortunately this time I had to face this problem for I had a pimple under my lower lip...which although a tiny one looked really irritating so somehow I had to get rid of it.Coincidentally...as one may call it....my sis was here for 6-7 days and she too was facing the same problem as she has oily skin and she was really disappointed due to her pimples near her nose.therefore on my suggestion, she applied it twice daily and after 5 days they all disappeared!!! We both were amazed and after this experience I can say this clearly that I’m highly satisfied with this product.

The Good points-

Honest claim.

Helps to get rid of all the acne and pimples.

I love its light fragrance.

The texture is neither too thick nor runny.

So easy to apply on the effected areas.

The results come up in a very natural manner. The pimples fade out gradually and after that the skin from there becomes clear and soft in its natural ways.

It doesn’t dry out the portion of the skin after recovering it.

The formula is highly effective.

The Bad points-

There is only one bad point in this product and that is undoubtedly it's high price which is too much for a common man to get it and enjoy it's advantages.

Therefore in my opinion a company's prices should be such that even common man can afford it.

Overall verdict-

I’m really impressed. It does what it claims. A customer buys any product with this hope that it works for him because he reaches after reading its claim about the problem. But if it disappoints him it’s a crime in my opinion. So it is a honest brand as far as this product is concern.

Rating- 4/5

I wanted to give full points to this but its high price has decreased its rating.

Recommendation-

Yes, if you can afford it, then of course. It’ll surely work for you!!

So ladies, have you tried any Makari beauty products?? How did you find it? You can check out their products at their website.

If you want to purchase their products, go to their website and order now coz they're even having some good offers these days. I’m also impressed with their quick service. I got my stuff only within 24 hours.

Have a great weekend ahead!!!
