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.

    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.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker. 

Coconut oil for beauty

Coconut oil, due its high saturated fat content was branded as unhealthy and artery-clogging which could cause heart diseases. This claim has been widely disproved by the scientific community and it is now being hailed as one of world’s healthiest cooking oils. Though it may take time, perceptions are slowly changing as people are beginning to realize its tremendous benefits. Coconuts and coconut oil have always been a part of the cuisine in tropical countries like India (South) and Sri Lanka and even today coconut is indispensable in their diet. For now, let’s leave aside the health benefits and focus our attention on the beauty uses of this wonderful oil. South Indian women swear by it. They attribute their dense, long, raven black hair and a flawless , clear complexion to good genes and the liberal use of coconut oil in their diet and beauty regimen.

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%.

Simple ways of acquiring a clear & blemish free skin

It is not necessary to go to expensive beauty parlours or buy expensive creams and lotions to acquire a blemish free & clear complexion. A few homemade remedies are provided below which will serve the purpose equally well. Hope this will benefit the readers. 1. Always wash your face with mild soap so that the pores breathe fresh air.

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.
