1. RAS 24K Gold Serum

This organic gold radiance elixir is a face serum that helps brighten the skin, reduce signs of ageing like wrinkles, fine lines, and others including acne, spots, pigmentation, dark spots. It contains 24K gold, saffron, rosehip and 20 other botanicals. Suitable for all skin types, this can be used as an everyday moisturiser too. It comes with a dropper for easy application. 

Review:

“The serum has a beautiful, luxurious fragrance and is super easy to apply. It’s quick absorbing and just 2-3 drops cover your entire face and neck nicely. I applied this for 3 months before bedtime and lightly massaged my face. Noticed reduced puffiness and a mild glow after repeated usage”, says Nishtha, who can just not do without this serum in her nightime skincare routine. 

This is for any and everyone trying to achieve a ‘glow from within’ look or to delay the signs of ageing. 

2. mCaffeine Kit

This gender-neutral Valentines gift is ideal for most occasions. This kit contains a face wash, a face scrub, a body scrub, a wooden brew scoop, and a 100% cotton towel. All products are made using pure arabica coffee and suitable for all skin types. Packed in a teal box, this gift looks luxurious.

Review:

The face scrub acts like a gentle exfoliant that helps remove dead skins and any residue from previous makeup application. Follow it up with the face wash that doesn’t just smell heavenly, but leaves the face clean and moisturised. I use the face and body scrub once or twice a week, its my favorite me-time activity.
