It is a common fallacy that Ayurvedic products only work long term. In fact, while they should be used regularly for the best results, they make a visible difference almost immediately. The essential tip to consider, as per our Ayurveda doctor, is that it’s important that you are applying your skincare in the best and expert recommended way.
Following through, here is a round-up of some of our bestselling, high performance products brimming with fast acting, vibrational ingredients and a guide to what you can expect to notice on your skin, upon regular and optimal application of each of these.

These creams even out the skin tone, moisturize the skin and treat imperfections, all while adding radiance to the skin.

Therefore, they not only keep the skin nourished, but also help to repair the damaged cells.
What to expect: A corrective night treatment cream must be chosen on the basis of one’s skin type and concerns. A critical aspect in obtaining optimum results from a night cream is discipline- using the product every night on a clean face for at least 3-4 weeks.
