My Experience :Packaging : The soft pink bottle gives the Za Total Hydration Milky moisturizer a nice feminine touch. I wish the bottle had a pump opening instead. After I get the product out on my palm, some of it is around the mouth of the bottle which is very messy! Za has even added instructions to wipe the mouth of the bottle clean after every use which is cumbersome if you use the moisturizer multiples times everyday.
Fragrance : It has a mild fragrance that disappears once the moisturizer sinks into your skin
Texture : Like the name suggests, it’s a milky moisturizer& has a very runny consistency. It easily sinks into my skin & doesn’t leave it sticky. Its very lightweight on my skin; it feels like nothing is on. I like to layer it on the drier areas of my face & it doesn’t feel heavy after layering either. Effects : I have been using the Za Total Hydration Milky Moisturizer as regularly as I can since the last week of June. At that time I had dry patches which I was not able to get rid of (I mentioned this in the THEFACESHOP Mango Sheet Mask Review post). I had been using another hydrating mask too but it gave temporary results- my dry patches would return after a few days. I realised that probably the moisturizers I was using were not upto the mark so I switched to this Za one and it has given me significant results. My dry patches have completely gone & my skin looks visibly hydrated. My skin has always been soft (even when its dry) so I can’t comment on how much softer it will make your skin. &pid;&vzR;
I love using this moisturizer a lot & I use it in my night routine too. However, now that is getting colder, I will need something thicker for night time. It wears well under makeup too. One significant con is that it contains no SPF/PA protection & this is something missing from the entire Total Hydration range. I haven’t faced any problems wearing my sunscreen over it because both products are lightweight so they don’t feel heavy on my skin. Also, it contains parabens. I haven't experienced any allergy (like breakouts) since I started using it.I like the Za Total Hydration Milky Moisturizer a lot over my previous day moisturizer, the Chambor Hydra Essential Day Moisturizer, that one contained a lot of alcohol which made my skin look dull in the long run. The Za one is cheaper too!
Product vs Price :Price: Rs.599 / $9Qty : 150 ml / 5 oz.Availability: Flipkart | Nykaa
Overall Verdict : 4/5I absolutely love this product & recommend it to beauties with normal skin like me. I think dry skinned beauties might also like it and combination-oily skinned beauties can opt for the Za Total Hydration Amino Mineral Refreshing Gel. Za has mentioned that it will suit skin that is flaky yet greasy i.e skin that gets oily easily because it is dehydrated. Since it contains parabens & doesn’t give you sun protection, it isn’t the most appealing product in the market, therefore it doesn’t get a five rating. That said, I’m happy with it- it fulfills the claims of replenishing skin's moisture. I’m eyeing the Za Total Hydration Deep Moist Cream for my night routine!#SkincareWeek is a special series - Each day of the week I'll present you with a new skincare product. 7 skincare products carefully tried & tested out for you!
