Patanjali Tejus Beauty Cream Review

Baba Ramdev Divya Pharmacy Patanjali Tejus Beauty Cream Review

Baba Ramdev's brand Patanjali (Divya Pharmacy) offers two beauty creams under the name Tejus: Tejus Beauty Cream and Tejus Anti-Wrinkle Cream. I saw these first last year in May or June and immediately bought both along with many other products.

Patanjali Tejus Beauty cream is an ayurvedic composition containing Aloe Vera, Sandal, Tulsi, Haldi and Manjeeshtha, which are all awesome ingredients for skin and being used in beauty recipes for ages.

Quantity: 50 gms

Price: INR 70 (quite affordable)

Shelf Life: 24 Months from Mfg date

Availability: Available at Patanjali Centers (to locate the nearest one to you, check HERE). Can also be bought online within India and internationally from their online store (Check HERE). Also available at many other online stores (simply Google Search for it).

Patanjali Tejus Beauty Cream is a shiny beige colored lightweight cream. If you have ever used Vicco Turmeric, the texture and fragrance are similar to that. It smells nice but the fragrance is not 100% natural. It contains perfume too.

It feels smooth and silky to touch, but when you apply it, it feels dry and settles into a matte powdery finish. At normal temperature, it becomes dewy after a few minutes of applying, meaning, it feels nice and moisturizing without any hint of oiliness. But in extremely cold weather, it does not become dewy and hence does not feel moisturizing enough for dry skin.

It adds an instant glow to the face without leaving any white cast. It does not enhance skin pores and gives a foundation-like finish to the face (with no color).

HOW TO USE:

This cream absorbs VERY FAST into the skin, like instantly. So if you take it out, rub in your palms and then apply, it won't work. Most of the cream will get absorbed and settle in the fine lines of your palms.

The best way to apply it is just like a foundation. Apply a small amount in one area, spread immediately. Cover the rest of the face, ears, neck and hands this way. It spreads really well when used like this and does not feel heavy.

PRODUCT CLAIMS:

The package simply says 'Ayurvedic proprietary medicine for natural safety and beautiful skin'. It does not make any tall claims and does what it says. It is indeed a general daily use cream. It makes your face looks glowing and beautiful overall, like a BB (blemish balm) cream, but don't expect any miracles out of it.

PATANJALI TEJUS BEAUTY CREAM INGREDIENTS:

It is not 100% herbal but it is definitely a product with least chemicals. What amazes me is that Divya Pharmacy is 100% transparent about this product and the ingredients used in it. You can see the complete detail HERE.

Base material of Patanjali Tejus Beauty Cream contains- Stearic Acid- (10-15), Cetyl Alcohol- (0.5-1.0), Wheat germ oil (0.5-10), EDTA (0.05-10), DC-200-(0.1-1.0), TIO2/ Mica- (0.1-1.0), KOH-(0.1-1.0). LLPO (2-15), Glycerin-(5-15), IPM- (1-3), Carbapol-(0.01-0.1), Soya peptide (0.5-1.0), Vit- A/Retanyl palmitate (0.05-0.5), A2 Plus (0.3-1.0), Rheam exodi root ext.

Since it contains traces of Mica, it may irritate very sensitive skin in rare cases.

PATANJALI TEJUS BEAUTY CREAM LIKES AND DISLIKES:

WHAT I LIKE?

• Gives an immediate glow to face making you look lovely
• Non-greasy and shine-free finish on face
• Absorbs instantly
• Does not leave a white cast
• Does not enhance skin pores. In fact Aloe Vera is supposed to constrict/tighten pores and this cream exactly does that
• Feels cool and soothing on the skin especially when used on washed face
• Never broke me out
• Does not clog skin pores despite the powdery finish

WHAT I DON'T LIKE?

• It is not deeply moisturizing in winter. It feels like it does not deeply penetrate the skin and skin feels thirsty when you use it alone
• Burns on chapped/damaged skin
• Burns if you happen to touch your eyes
• Does not lighten dark spots

MY EXPERIENCE WITH PATANJALI TEJUS BEAUTY CREAM

It was May and on first application, this cream felt drying with a powdery finish. My dry skin didn't like it and so I instead started using the Tejus anti-wrinkle cream daily because that felt more moisturizing. But that has another story and I will review it separately.

I tried Tejus Beauty Cream again in October and found that it works best for me when mixed with 2 drops of lavender essential oil. When I finished my lavender oil bottle, I started using this cream as such and it could not protect me against the cold anymore. The skin on my chin chapped and became painful. When used alone, this cream slightly burnt on chapped skin. I recently repurchased lavender essential oil a few days ago and again started mixing it in this cream. Within 2 applications the painful chapped skin healed.

Glowing finish when used with lavender essential oil

For dry skin, you can get a really soft beautiful finish with this cream by simply mixing 3 drops of Jojoba oil (approximately) and exactly 2 drops of lavender essential oil. In summers, you can skip Jojoba oil. It may sound stupid to some, but trust me, you will forget makeup if you use it this way.

You can also turn this into a hand or foot cream by simply mixing it with some Jojoba or pure coconut oil and 2 drops of lavender/ peppermint or tea tree essential oil. The oils are meant to be used alone but using this cream as a base helps prevent oiliness.

This tube lasted me quite long. I have not repurchased it as it didn't do any wonders for me. If you have used it, kindly share your thoughts and experiences in the comments.
