Biotique Bio Saffron Dew Review

Biotique Bio Saffron Dew
I am reviewing yet another Biotique product on the blog today. I was unable to review any product over the past few weeks due to ill health. It did not stop me from trying out new stuff though. The trials continue in all kinds of phases of health. I have so many products left to try and review. Let's start with this one for now. I have used it over a month and a little more, I am down to the last drop and just discarded it. I feel it is the right time to let you know my thoughts on the same.

It is a rather heavy moisturizer, it feels lighter, almost whipped consistency in your fingers but on my combination-oily skin and in the summer, this felt very heavy on my skin. One needs to use very, very little in order to moisturize the whole face. It is supposed to contain saffron(yes, you can very well smell this), almond and pistachio oils. It is also supposed to contain turmeric and wild turmeric extracts. I was not able to smell turmeric in this product. 

This does help fine lines to a certain extent but does not do much for deeper wrinkles.

Biotique Bio Saffron review

I would have found it easier to use in a colder climate as it just does not sit well on my face in humid, Mangalore weather. It just forms an oil slick on your face and does not exactly absorb well into the skin. I usually have to wash it off after a while of wearing it. It's much lighter than their coconut skin moisturizer but I feel just the same about both these products, that the consistency could feel lighter and not clog up all your pores in one go.

I will not be purchasing this again. I did not find it help my acne marks.

I am eyeing their pistachio or red sandal pack next, but I am not sure. Let me finish up the rest of my stock and explore.

Till my next review, I hope you all are in good health. Summer's suddenly turned to monsoons and many of you may feel under the weather. Just take good care of your health during this weather transition and start preparing for wetter climes. I am just trying to finish up all my washing and drying at the moment, before fungus starts to strike everything that's clean and green. Out with the halogen bulbs! And hoping we get some sun from time to time. Would definitely help with drying up our laundry. 

Cheers to the rain and another month of heave ho!

    1. So sad, I think their company has a brilliant theme but some of the products have not met expectations. Still I like some of their packs.

    1. hi Abidha :) Thanks, I had very little to say about the product as you can see. Would be lovely for you to visit India with your little one. The monsoons are here :) I am feeling much better now, thank you :)

  5. hey Coral. i think biotique has changed their formulations because I bought this moisturiser just a few days back it is so good!! just gets absorbed and i need just a bit of it and it makes my skin so soft and gets absorbed in a jiffy!! btw, do check out their pistachio, fruit pack and even milk cream, all of them are really good. i love biotique except for their shampoos.

    1. I bought their fruit pack recently, the formula of that remained the same just that the quantity was slightly lesser than before. It remains my favourite. I will definitely buy the. Pistachio pack, everyone's recommending it. I will try the saffron dew again some time since you've highly recommended it. A friend of mine likes their water cress shampoo or conditioner, I forget which one.

  7. The product looks great and I feel someone with dry skintype would benefit from this product in winter season. I can pretty much smell the product from your description. I really wanna go buy some more Biotique products. The fruit pack, pistachio pack etc others have wrote about in the comments are tempting me much!. I hope you are feeling much better.. ♡

    1. I am feeling so much better, Naz. Thank you. Yes, it will suit dry skin types. It does have a lovely fragrance. I hear they are newly formulated, this one was their old packaging. So perhaps they have gotten better. Yes, I do feel like picking up more stuff too. it's too tempting :)
