Jolen Crème Hair Remover Review - (Sandal for Dry Skin)

Hi

Today's post is a product review for Jolen Crème Hair Remover.

Product claims:
Jolen Hair Remover is just 3 Minutes formula. It removes unwanted body hair from the follicle bulb, leaving the skin baby soft, silky & beautiful while forming a protective natural barrier. The goodness of Olive oil & Shea butter have been specially added to it for their beneficial properties on the skin.

Jolen Crème Hair Remover comes in normal tube packaging placed inside a cardboard box. It's is a light-weight packaging and can be taken along even in the handbag. A good quality plastic spatula also comes along in the pack to help you spread and remove the creme during the process.

There are 3 variants available in this product i.e. lemon, rose and sandal. I chose the Sandal variant, not for the fragrance but for its suitability for dry skin type. It's a pale peachy coloured cream. The consistency is like a usual cream that's not so thick. It spreads on skin like a dream.

The product boasts of sandal fragrance, but I somehow didn't find its smell very close to sandal. It's not intolerably bothersome, but I didn't enjoy it while the cream rests on my skin.
The hair under the cream start shrinking in 3-4 minutes, but that depends on how coarse and thick hair one has. Moving the spatula in reverse direction of hair growth lets you easily remove the product.

The cream removed the hair completely from the area I covered with the product i.e. my legs. After the skin is cleaned off the product using spatula, I gave my skin a good rinse with plain water to remove any residue of product else my skin itches. The skin feels smooth as expected, but I could still smell the faint fragrance. It's recommended to use a good bodywash, if you wish to get rid of the fragrance immediately.

The Jolen Crème Hair Remover is priced at Rs 70 for 50 gms pack, but I got the pack with 20% extra offer. (available here). I ended up finishing almost half the quantity in one use for my legs, so it's so economical than a salon visit for similar service. 

Remember to tightly close the tube after using once else the product efficacy might be affected and it may not work as good next time.

Now talking about how long the product effectively lasts... my body hair is quite thin a, short and light; so for me I won't need reusing the hair remover on the same area earlier than 10-12 days.

Have you used any of Jolen Hair Remover Cremes? Which fragrances you liked the most?

Lighten Dark Hair With Jolen Gold Crème Bleach

Remember hearing about and using a unique formulation called as CRÈME BLEACH for the first time?? I really do....
The product was first formulated at Jolen Inc by Mrs. Evelyn Kossak along with her husband Mr. John Kossak that became one of the most popular skin care product with women worldwide.

I honestly never bothered to check what all products Jolen retails beyond bleach and hair remover crèmes. But one thing was obvious that Jolen's is the No. 1 crème bleach in the world when it comes to product uniqueness and quality. Being the largest manufacturer of bleach, Jolen was and is a household name and an undisputed choice of customers globally.

Dealing with unwanted dark hair on your face or body can be daunting. Jolen offers the quick, safe & gentle solution to blend hair with your natural skin tone, making it virtually invisible.

Though I use bleach only occasionally, but stock atleast one pack for immediate application. Jolen has got a few variants of bleach like Aloevera Mild Bleach, Gold Creme Bleach and Oxy Bleach. I decided to try Gold Creme Bleach since it is suitable for all skin types and also claims to have real gold particles extracted from pure Gold dust ;)

This pack contains a cream, activator, mixing cup and a tiny spatula that enable to apply the bleach on face and other body parts easily and effectively.

The cream comes in a plastic tub, while the activator comes in a tall cylindrical jar. 

I mixed the quantity in the nixing cup as per suggested measurement on the packaging and did a preliminary patch test behind my ear to test its reaction to my skin. After the product passed this test and didn't cause any allergic reaction, I smeared a thin layer of product preparation on my entire face and neck. I intentionally didn't go for bleaching only specific part of my face like upper lip, because it looks weird after the change of hair color. Though I barely have any visible dark hair on my face, but everyone has those ingrown facial hair; hence it came the decision of using this bleach.

The bleach gives tingling sensation to skin for a minute of so and also stings in eyes which is bearable. Also it's customary with almost every product in this line, so I didn't fret. The bleach doesn't smell pungent, and it's a plus for everyone who hate sharp smell.

Leaving the cream on skin for less than 10 minutes turned the color of my facial hair into something matching to my skin tone. The tanning on the temples of my forehead got much faded in the first use itself. It didn't feel stretchy after wiping the product off my skin. But I still gave a boost of light moisturization. I simply loved the glow on my face that the product imparted instantly. 

I used almost one-third quantity in one use and I expect I can use the remaining quantity two times more (if used on face). I'm totally satisfied with the result.

Ingredients: (refer image below)

The Jolen Gold Bleach is priced at Rs 85 only for 35ml which super affordable. The shelf life is also long enough i.e. 2 yrs.

Here's a great deal on Jolen Gold Bleach. You get a papaya face pack worth Rs 45 with it. That simply cuts down the cost of bleach pack to almost half the price.

Jolen products are easily available at local stores and on online portals. I would recommend to use it at the comfort of your home for a party-ready face instead to rushing to a salon for the services.

Jolen Pure Refreshing & Cleansing 2 in 1 Shampoo Review

I've been using this new Pure Refreshing and Cleansing shampoo from Jolen since past few weeks and am ready to give my opinion on it today.

Jolen Pure Refreshing & Cleansing Shampoo comes in traditional plastic bottle with a flip-open cap. Taking out the product is all easy and non-messy. The bottle has got the information like ingredient list, price, quantity, usage instruction printed on its back side.

It's a 350 ml packaging with a long shelf life of 3 yrs and is available at quite pocket friendly price of Rs. 185. The bottle is big enough to adjust in your travel pouch. I don't think the brand offers a small packaging for this product.

The shampoo is ivory white in colour and has some shine to it. It's neither extremely thick nor runny. I would call it moderately thick and as viscose as I like my shampoo. It has really refreshing fragrance to it and not bothersome at all. This nice smell last in your hands and hair after rinsing off.

For my waist-long hair, I use little more than a coin sized amount of shampoo, dilute it in a cup of water and then massage it on my wet scalp and hair. The shampoo lathers rich and creamy. Despite shampooing on oiled hair, it doesn't take much quantity to cleanse everyday dirt build-up off my hair. The only con about the shampoo is the inclusion of SLS and SLES in the composition which could have been avoided :/ For this reason, I won't recommend using the shampoo on daily basis. Since I rarely use hair styling sprays, gels or creams, I only shampoo my hair twice a week which is safe enough. To check the claims of Jolen shampoo of having in-built conditioning, I skipped using conditioner separately post rinsing off and I didn't feel much requirement of moisturizing my hair.

The shampoo hasn't caused me issues like scratchy scalp, dryness of strands or hair fall. I find the shampoo good to keep my hair clean and smelling fresh.

Jolen Sun Shield Crème SPF-50 Review

Yes! I know how badly we are sweating in the hotter regions of India. Most people would know and follow routines and diets to balance hydration of the body and skin. And then comes a burning question, how to save our skin from the havoc created by harsh sun rays. I personally check quite carefully whether the sun shield creme that I'm using lives up to its SPF claim, else the harmful UVA and UVB rays will damage+darken + age the skin much faster than normal.

I've been testing a few sun shield cremes off late and got a great recommendation for my readers today i.e. Jolen Sun Shield Crème. That's my first review for Jolen which is almost 57 years old reputed brand providing beauty solutions universally.

The brand offers sun shield creme in 3 variants that are similar in ingredients, packaging etc but varies in SPF content. The available options are SPF 20, 30 and 50. Obviously I chose to pick highest SPF 50. It's a bright orange n white colored squeeze tube housed in a even brighter orange cardboard box. It's light-weight and tightly-lockable tube making it an ideal on-the-go product. 

The product is a moderately thick white colored creme that is convenient to spread and blend onto skin. It has soft fragrance that will please everyone. It neither look greasy nor feels stretchy. It didn't make me look cakey or washed out like usual powdery products may do. Expect just the appropriate post-application feel and look with highest sun protection for Indian weather. The moisturizing property of Vitamin E suits all skin types, especially for people with dry skin. Though I don't sweat a lot, but applying sunscreens make me sweat. Jolen's Sun Shield made me feel comfortable without any such problem and I liked it more for this reason.

The pros of the product also include ingredients like antiseptic turmeric that can improve your skin tone in long run and prevents minor skin issues too.

This sun-shield is price effective for the quantity it offers. A little quantity spreads to give wide coverage and so the quantity is enough to last long. Do check out for more details and to order 50 ml pack at Rs 150 here
