Lacto Calamine is one of the oldest product in the market.Some of my friends swear by it and they do have great skin to prove it.When I was in my teens, a couple of them recommended to me saying it would help acne.I did not take it seriously back then.I was always wondered how such a small bottle can make a difference with Acne.Few months back,I bought myself one and started using and found it to be good moisturizer. So Today I am reviewing Lacto Calamine for Oily Skin.
Ingredients:
Aqua, Light Kaolin, Caster Oil, Glycerin, Zinc Oxide, Zinc Carbonate, Emulsifiers, Preservatives, Perfumes and Permitted Colours.
My Skin Type:
Oily and Acne prone skin.
Price:
Rs 144 for 120ml ;Rs 80 for 60 ml ; Rs 45 for 30 ml.
Availability:
Swatch:
Pro’s:
1)It is very affordable and easily available.
Con’s:
1)It has a pinkish tinge which guys might not prefer.
Ingredients:
Aqua, Light Kaolin,Sorbitol Solution 70%,Propylene Glycol,Aloe Vera, Castor Oil, Glycerin, Zinc Oxide, Zinc Carbonate, Dimethicone,Emulsifiers, Preservatives, Perfumes and Permitted Colours.
Actually both versions of Lacto Calamine have same ingredients except for Aloe Vera.So you can opt for either one of them.
Final Verdict:
It is a good product for Acne prone skin.The only thing which bothered me was it making my face more oily but it did not break me out.Another alternative for this is Calak Lotion which is a calamine lotion too minus the castor oil.I use after threading my eye brows,it soothens and minimises the irritation. This can be used as night cream if you find it oily for day use.It is a budget moisturiser and can be used by all ages.So one product which is worth the money!
