Lotus Herbals YouthRx Anti-Ageing Transforming Gel Cream/Creme SPF 25| Review

I am in my late 20’s and from last few months I have started using anti-aging cream. The very first anti-aging cream was from brand Lotus Herbals. I purchased this after reading tons of positive reviews about the crème. But unfortunately, it didn’t work for me and I switched to another brand. In this post, I will be reviewing Lotus Herbals YouthRx Anti-Ageing Transforming Gel Cream/Crème. The packaging is the USP of this product apart from this nothing exciting about the same 😊

About the product: The Lotus Herbals YouthRx Anti Ageing Transforming Cream with SPF 25 is a testament to a revolutionary development in ‘Green Science’. It comes with the ‘Gineplex Youth Compound’ derived from potent natural ingredients and is clinically proven to accelerate the process of skin lifting, firming and protective skin action.

The Transforming Creme fights off wrinkles and reduces fine lines, revealing healthier, younger looking skin in a week. The Gineplex Youth Compounds present in this natural Anti-aging cream absorb instantly into your skin and provide exceptional moisturisation & hydration to the skin.

Price: Rs.735

Quantity: 50 gm

How to use it:

STEP 1: Take a coin-sized amount of “Youthrx Foaming Gel” on your fingertips. Gently cleanse your face and neck using circular motions for few minutes. Wash it off with cool water.

STEP 2: Take a pea-sized amount of “Youthrx Transforming Crème” in your hands and gently warm up the creme on your fingers. Now use your fingers to gently massage the creme into the skin.

STEP 3: Start with circular motions on your cheeks and later apply on your neck area, forehead and T-zone. Use gentle upward strokes when applying on face and neck. Make sure you are always lifting the skin and never dragging it down.

Packaging: This crème comes in a flat bottom jar. The jar is transparent and one can easily see the amount of product left. The jar has a purple colour screw cap. The packaging is absolutely classy. This jar comes in a golden coloured cardboard box 😊 You will find all the required details related to the product on the cardboard box as well as on the jar. It is bit heavy to carry in the purse or hand bag.

My opinion about the product: The cream is white in color and has a very smooth texture. I was super excited and intrigued as I have never tried an anti-aging cream before this. My expectations were high after reading the many reviews not to mention the claims by the company of visibly reducing fine lines, open pores, wrinkles, providing moisturization, removing age spots, pigmentation and overall giving you a glow and enhancing the skin.

And that is what is just disappointing is that if a cream is to reduce pigmentation and all, how is it that my face became dark and dry because of it. I didn’t realize it until after using it religiously for almost 2 months that my face had become dark, and still was not getting enough moisturization, the result of which was that I had to use another cream on top of it to hydrate my skin.

When I noticed my skin darkening due to this cream, I stopped the top up cream and only used the Lotus anti-aging cream thinking maybe the additional cream caused darkening. This realisation was of course a month ago and I still used these creams on their own but to no improvement.

So, in short, the Lotus Herbals anti-aging YouthRx was an epic fail for me, as my skin just got dark from it rather than lightening it. I am just confused as to how an anti-aging cream could make you dark rather than do the opposite of its claim of reducing pigmentation issues if you have any, and not give you enough moisturization. I am very disappointed with the product.
