Review: Shankara Skin Care


What I really like about Shankara is that all of their products are paraben free, alcohol-free and chemical-free.


About Hydrating Cleansing Gel (taken from here):

Size: 4 oz
Mild and non-irritating cleanser with naturally derived foaming cleansing ingredients in a unique amino acid complex that nourishes and leaves skin feeling moist and silky soft. Hydrating Cleansing Gele' contains Shankara's exclusive regenerating, antioxidant Ayurveda Energen Complex with Ayurvedic herbs, activated extracts and monoatomic elements. Mild and non-irritating, the naturally derived foaming cleansing ingredients are combined with moisturizing olive oil, macadamia nut oil, lecithin, algae extract, and a unique hydrating amino acid complex that nourishes and leaves skin feeling moist and silky-soft after cleansing. PH 5.5-5.6, balanced for skin, protects the natural acid mantle, thereby eliminating the need for a toner. Price: $33.00

I really like how my face felt after using this product but I must admit I wasn't a fan of the smell. I'm more concerned with how my skin looks and feels, but I just thought I would put that out there.

About Ayurveda-Energen Facial Oil II (taken from here):

Size: 1/2 oz
100% pure, accelerated, rich nutrient oil with anti-inflammatory qualities, deeply penetrates skin to calm, regenerate, oxygenate, balance, restore and maintain youthful healthy radiant skin. Concentrates of essential fatty acids and therapeutic essential oils help maintain balanced moisture in normal skin without clogging pores. Ayurvedic herbs and antioxidant nutrients support repair of damaged tissue, rejuvenate skin and help prevent aging. Aromatherapeutic essential oils bring a calming, cooling balance for the pitta dosha while treating sensitive pitta skin. The oil plumps, smoothes and softens fine lines and wrinkles and gives skin a youthful radiant glow. Non-comedogenic. Moderate natural UV protection. PH neutral for all skin. Price: $53.00


I have to say the same thing about this product. I did like how it felt and looked but the smell wasn't great. The cool thing about this product is it doesn't take much to do the job. I think that little bottle will last for months and months.

About Regenesis-Energen ATP Cell Serum (taken from here):

Size: 1/2 oz
100% active serum is structured and energized in a proprietary process to provide ultimate deep tissue repair and regeneration with skin-firming effects. Shankara's exclusive Regenesis-EnergenTM BioComplex accelerates the age-reversal process. Preliminary clinical tests showed significant line and wrinkle reduction, as well as major increase in cellular oxygen and hydration. The addition of stabilized skin-soluble Vitamin C Esteri increases the effectiveness, beyond the claims listed. PH 5.5-5.6, balanced for skin.
Price: $48.00


Out of all three products, this one was my favorite. I love how it made my face feel all soft and smooth. You only have to use a tiny bit of this too, so I'm sure it will last a long time.
