Value buy: Vicco foam base cream

This is a lovely, lovely product. The only soap I use is Carbolic, but on a long day out, Chennai's humidity makes a portable, non-messy face wash tube indispensable. In the past I've used Himalaya neem, pears etc, but then I found this gem and I love it.

This blue tube says "Vicco turmeric with foam  base", and isn't immediately recognizable as a face wash - you will likely find it in the cosmetic aisle on the face cream shelf. (Way to kill a good product with bad labeling, Vicco!)




The contents are an unappetizing brown (and a bit runny, so don't squeeze too hard). You need only a tiny bit for a routine wash. The stuff lathers very well, smells wonderfully pleasant, and does a great job of clearing away oil and grime from the face. I find that it takes care of heat rashes too (the prickly variety).

At Rs. 30 for a 30 g tube, this stuff is brilliant, and lasts quite long.

Look for the blue Vicco tube with the grinning dude (why?) on the cover.
