Touch & Feel
The first thing to notice after opening the pretty white and pink jar is the beautiful fruity aroma. The smell gives a strong “summer in a temperate country” vibe if that’s a thing.
Now coming to the texture, the body yoghurt is very lightweight, much lighter than most other moisturizers, making it great for use in summer.
Moreover, the cream gets absorbed almost instantly and works best on damp skin. Therefore, it is great for dry skin and even during light to moderate winters, when the weather is so dry that your skin needs a quick fix now and then.
Packaging
The CIEL Very Berry Body Yogurt arrived in cute packaging – an easy-to-hold white coloured jar with a pink lid. It’s easy to unscrew and lets you grab as much product as you need for intensive moisturization.
How To Use?
Take a small amount of this body yoghurt on your palm and start applying it to your body. Massage the yoghurt into the skin till it’s absorbed completely.
Areas prone to drying like knees, elbows and feet might require a bit more to keep the moisture intact. Follow up every 5-6 hours with light application in winter.

It cleans all the debris on the skin well and doesn’t dry the skin much unlike many other face washes.
The best thing was its refreshing lemony fragrance. It removed all the grime gently and left a refreshing glow. After one wash, one can say that it can release sebum for at least 8 to 12 hours.
The face wash is specifically formulated for oily and sensitive skin but can also be used on normal skin.
Packaging
This face wash comes in a pretty white and mint green bottle with a pump dispenser which is convenient for daily use and lets you use the product in the right amounts for use on the face.
Weighing just 100 ml, the packaging is compact enough to be packed in your luggage without taking too much space.
How to Use?
Take a coin-sized amount of this face wash on your palm and massage it on wet skin to dissolve all the dirt and grime on your face. Give special attention to areas like corners of the mouth, nose, eyes, temples, chin, nose, upper lips and brow area to remove oil buildup.
Rinse the cleanser and pat your face dry with a towel. Apply a soothing cream or gel to keep your skin moisturized and protected.
