My Experience

When the tub is opened, the first thing one will notice is its smell. The gel has a mild citrus fragrance which is refreshing.

The orange gel has the slightest bit of orange colour to it and the consistency is thick. one will only need a pea-size amount to cover the entire face as it glides easily. The gel absorbs into the skin within 30-40 secs. 

When it is applied on the face, it is light-weight, non-greasy and non-sticky. It provides instant hydration, the skin feels oil free and plump, as per its claims. Also, it did not irritate my skin.

As far as the claim of brightening is concerned, I felt that it at times brightened up my skin and the glow was visible.

However, as far as other claims like reducing dark spots and drying away of acne are concerned, I didn't see any difference. There was no improvement in my skin texture and colour.

It works as a gel moisturizer during summers and monsoon but the skin feels slightly dry during winters. This makes me doubt the company's other claim that the gel is especially beneficial for dry skin.

It is not a must have and there is nothing special about the product. However, its not heavy on the pockets and oily skinned beauties can give this a try.

Pros:

• Light-weight
• Non-greasy and Easy absorption
• Pocket friendly
• Provides hydration
• Does not cause break outs
• Cruelty free and paraben free

Cons:

• Has artificial colour and fragrance
• Might not suit dry skin
• Not for winters
• Orange extract is way down the list which indicates very less percentage of orange extract 

Would I recommend it:

For oily skin- YES

For dry skin- NO

My Ratings: 3/5
