No Bad Stuff: Just Herbs Skincare Products 

Hello Everyone,

I have put my Korean love on hold to give a chance to this amazing Indian Skincare brand “ Just Herbs”. I have read quite a few of review about this brand in the past but wasn’t sure if it is going to do justice to its “All Natural” claims, so I was in double mind when I received the products for review purpose but you know being a blogger I just cant help but give it a try. So, let checkout how these Just Herbs Skincare products worked for me.

My experience with Just Herbs SilkSplash Neem-Orange Rehydrant Face Wash:

Just Herbs SilkSplash Face wash has a mousse gel like texture with slightly thin consistency. It looks like a orange squash in the bottle.. so yuumm!!

I love the citrusy fruity scent of this face wash with a hint of sandalwood and I can definitely smell some oranges in there. The fragrance is delicious but at the same time not strong or overwhelming and vanishes as soon as I wash my face.

I need 2 pumps of this face wash to get rid of any oil dirt from my skin though if my skin is super dirty, it won’t give much lather so, I go for another round of face wash for a clean feeling.

I love the fact that the face wash formula is free from Sulphates and parabens which cause damage to the skin in the long run rather has mix of herbs and all skin-friendly natural stuff which does amazing things to your skin.

Results: I have a super dry skin and it cleanses skin without stripping any excess oils from the skin. It rinses off quickly and leaves my skin soft and hydrated. In summers, I can skip on the moisturizer but in winters I have to follow with a moisturizer. I am pretty sure the face wash will work for all skin types

Packaging: Just Herbs Apricot Sparkle Invigorating Skin Radiance Scrub comes in a clear thick plastic jar with a metallic screw lid and a plastic separator to keep the scrub in the jar only. Though I am not a big fan of jar packaging but I liked that it comes with a separator. The packaging is sturdy and feels heavy and the golden details adds a slight luxurious touch to it.

My experience with Just Herbs Apricot Sparkle Invigorating Skin Radiance Scrub:

Just Herbs Apricot Sparkle Scrub is a creamy scrub with a medium thick texture which spreads nicely on skin. The scrub contains natural walnut shell powder to act as exfoliant and scrub off dead skin cells from the skin. I find the exfoliating beads are sharp, so you need to be gentle while using it as a scrub but they aren’t overtly abrasive or rough.

Usually with such creamy scrubs I have to wet my hands during the scrubbing process so that the beads don’t get scratchy on skin but with this scrub I didn’t felt the need to do so because it is so so creamy.

Results: The scrub does a good job at pulling out the blackheads that are buried deep under the skin because of the sharp edges of the granules. The formula is super creamy and hence my dry skin just loves how it nourishes while working on sloughing away the dead cells. The scrub leaves my skin as soft and smooth as silk. And I can definitely see the radiance/glow it adds which lasts for 2-3 days. Also, I felt that my makeup applies a lot smoother when I scrub off my skin in advance ( usuallt the case with all scrubs)

It is after a long time that I tried any apricot scrub and actually liked it. I also love that the formula is 99% natural and is enriched with pure apricot kernel oil, walnut shell grains, Aloe Vera, Glycerine and many more organic ingredients which does all the good things to the skin.

Overall, it is great formulation for dry skin especially in winters where my dry skin craves for moisture in everything.

Packaging: Just Herbs Youth Antiwrinkle Cream comes in a clear cylindrical plastic jar with a metallic screw lid. The packaging is good but I prefer tubes over the jars because of hygiene issues.

My experience with Just Herbs Youth Antiwrinkle Cream:

Just Herbs Youth Antiwrinkle Cream is an off white colored cream with a thick buttery texture. It spreads nicely but owing to its thick texture I have to massage it for few minutes to let it seep into the skin. It is that sort of cream which will make you sweat with a slightest touch in summers. I used it as a night cream during September/October month and it felt heavy and sweaty but as I started using it again this month it felt much comfortable and so nourishing.

The cream has an almond oil sort of a scent but is quite mild so doesn’t bother me. The formula is again full of natural organic ingredients with lots of oils like Almond Oil, Jojo ba Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Avocado Oil that nourishes skin in the best way possible. Also, it is free from the dreaded Mineral Oil which seems to rule the ingredients list of every other natural cream.

Results: This Just Herbs Youth Antiwrinkle Cream intensely nourishes my skin and quenches its moisture thirst. It does make my skin look more hydrated and healthy the next day. I haven’t experienced any significant difference in fine lines around my forehead ( I got tonnes of them there) but looking at the amazing ingredients list, I am sure with continous use for 2-3 months it will definitely make a difference. I feel the formula will be great for mature skin too but strictly for winters only

Price: Rs.550 for 50gm

Shelf Life: 3 years from the Mfg date.

Packaging: Just Herbs PlumpUp Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle Gel comes in a clear cylindrical plastic jar with a metallic screw lid. The packaging is good but I prefer tubes over the jars because of hygiene issues.

My experience with Just Herbs PlumpUp Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle Gel:

Just Herbs PlumpUp Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle Gel is a light green colored gel with a medium thin texture. I just need to spread it even evenly with fingers tips and with a few strokes it sinks in completely. The gel gives a slight cooling sensation on application as it starts to get absorbed into the skin.

I absolutely love the delicious fragrance this gel has, some sort of a sorbet I guess and so yumm!!

The gel feels light on skin and this makes it suitable for day time but it doesn’t have that Matte finish like Votre Multi-Vitamin & Rejuvenating Day Gel which can get a little drying in winters for my dry skin. It keeps my skin hydrated for almost whole day.

The formula is all natural and is made with only skin friendly ingredients which is the best thing I can do for my skin.

Results: Just Herbs PlumpUp Gel instantly hydrates my skin and makes it look plump and radiant. The formula is light and gets absorbed completely leaving no residue behind. I am almost half way through the tub because I just love to layer it on my skin. I enjoy the scent, texture and the formula of this gel though I cant say for sure that it actually works in diminishing the fine lines and wrinkles but it is definitely doing some good things for it. Also, I am sure the gel formula will work for all skin types be it winters or summers

Rating: 4.5/5

Recommendation: Just Herbs Skin Care products have absolutely amazed me with their performance. Usually, such herbal skincare brands make tall claims of natural/organic ingredients by just mentioning the key ingredients and using only the traces of them but Just Herbs actually uses only the best natural stuff for their products and share full ingredients list, so that we know what actually goes into the product. Also, The products are free from all the dreadful ingredients like SLS/SLES, Parabens and Mineral oil.

They are probably one of the best natural products I have tried off late and they don’t cost a bomb because they are priced so affordably that I don’t have to think twice.

Products I love:

Silksplash face wash> PlumpUp Gel> Sparkle Apricot Scrub> Youth Anti-wrinkle Cream
