VLCC Gold Facial Kit Review.

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well.

In this week’s post, I will be doing a first impressions cum review of VLCC’s Gold Kit. The festive season is nearing and I have never done a facial before so I thought it is the perfect time to give it a try. 

The VLCC Gold Facial Kit retails for Rs.250 for 6 products of 10g each. These must be used in a sequence for best results. They are as follows:

The first step is a cleanser cum toner. It is a pre-facial product with aloe vera.

 It is comes in form of a cream which must be massaged into your face and neck for 3 minutes and gently wipe it off with a moist cotton pad.

The purpose of this step is to cleanse my skin and minimise my pores.

The second step is a scrub with turmeric and gold leaf. 

It comes in form of a gel which must be massaged into your face and neck for 5 minutes after which it must be washed with water and dabbed dry with a towel. 

The purpose of this step is to exfoliate my skin and remove blackheads.

The third step is a gel with galnut and gold leaf.

It obviously comes in form of a gel which must be massaged into your face and neck until it is completely absorbed. In my case, this took about 2 minutes.

The purpose of this step is to provide nourishment to my skin.

The fourth step is a cream with wheatgerm and gold oxide. It is rich in Vitamin C and E and contains sandalwood.

It obviously comes in form of a gel which must be massaged into your face and neck until it is completely absorbed. In my case, this took about 5 minutes.

The purpose of this step is to reduce skin pigmentation and polish my skin.

The fifth step is a peel off mask with lemon peel and gold oxide.

It comes in form of a thin gel which must be applied in a thin layer with one’s finger tips all over the neck and face. After it dries, it must be peeled off gently. In my case, this took about 30 minutes.

The purpose of the step is to maintain the pH level of the skin and pull out pollutants.

The sixth and final step is moisturiser. It is a post facial product with aloe vera. It contains SPF 15 and PA+.

It comes in form of a clear gel which must be applied all over your face and neck evenly.

The purpose of this step is to moisturise the skin and protect it from sun damage.

The Steps

At the end of the first step, my skin felt sticky. However I felt my pores minimise.
After the second step, I felt that the scrub was too gentle to see any actual exfoliation. However it did clean up my skin well.
The third step is probably my favourite one. It gave my face a natural healthy glow.
The fourth step was a little unnecessary. The cream was really thick and it made my skin look oily.
The fifth step needed some patience but it did a good job clearing my skin. Initially there is a slight tingling sensation which settles in no time.
The sixth step is pretty straight and simple. It settles right into the skin without any problem.

Pros

None of the products have a strong fragrance.

There is more than enough product for one time use.

It provides a beautiful natural glow.

It is pocket friendly.

It does not require any application tools or brushes.

Cons

The individual packaging of the Gold Facial Kit is a little messy while using.

As a whole process, it requires about an hour which is a little time consuming.

Over all this product does what it promises to do. You can use this once in a month when you have an event coming up and have some time on your hand. The VLCC facial kit has other variants as well. Comment below if you would like to know more about them.
