I have always believed that for healthy and glowing skin, it is first important to understand our own skin type. Without really knowing how our skin is like, we can't invest in the right products and treatments for it.
I recently took the quick skin health analysis test with Smart Skin Advisor and got to know a lot about my skin health. My skin lacked hydration, smoothness and glow. To get rid of these skin issues, I got my hands on two products from Dermafique - a hydrating creme and a skin toner.
I have been using these products for a while now and thought of sharing my detailed review.

My Experience
For anyone like me who suffers from dryness soon after washing their face in the morning, finding a good moisturiser can be a task. In the past, I have tried face creams that did moisturise my face after cleansing but also formed a thick layer on my face. I was looking for a face moisturiser that is lightweight and also does the job.
Dermafique's aqua cloud hydrating creme light moisturiser comes in a light, gel-like consistency which is just perfect for everyday use. It is so light that it quickly absorbs into my skin without leaving a thick layer on my face. Also, it keeps my face hydrated all day, which came as a surprise to me. I don't feel any dryness on my face after using it once in the morning.

Talking of the skin toner which I apply prior to using the moisturiser, it worked well for me too. I liked the fact that it had no artificial fragrance or heaviness which I have earlier felt on my skin after using face toners. The skin toner is extremely light and gentle on the skin. It leaves no greasiness on the face which is great.
Using both the products is quite easy. The hydrating creme can be used as any regular moisturiser on the face and neck. It quickly absorbs into the skin. However, you might not be very impressed with the toner bottle because it doesn't have a spray and you will have to use cotton pads to apply it over it your face.

Pros
- Light on the skin
- No artificial fragrance
- Fancy packaging
- Affordable
- Quick results
- Hydrating products, perfect for summers
- Paraben free
- Alcohol free
Cons
- The hydrating creme tub is quite a big one so you might not be able to carry it with you on a regular basis in your bag.
- The skin toner doesn't come with a spray for easy use. So you have to carry cotton pads along all the time when on the go.
Verdict
I give both the products a thumbs up for the results they have given me. My skin has never felt so soft, smooth and hydrated. I feel it was a great decision to invest in these two especially during this hot and humid season because our skin feels much dry and dull in summers. If you too have been suffering from skin issues like dullness, and dehydration (signs of body dehydration), get these and you won't regret it for sure!
