- About me:
I am a biotechnology Engineer turned Skincare & Beauty UA-camr. I worked 9 to 5 corporate jobs for some years but I always had a creative calling. So, I bought my first camera in 2016 and started doing pre wedding shoots. But in 2017 I had a tower moment in my life when I was broken open. It was time for destiny. I moved back to my hometown and started posting videos on UA-cam. Fast forward to the year 2020 when I quit my job and started doing UA-cam full time. Now I create videos on Skincare, Beauty, Self-care, Lifestyle and a little bit of everything.
It was a journey of self discovery and awakening that led me to my life purpose. Which is to sprinkle a little bit of magic into the everyday lives of people with my videos. ✨
My skin type: combination (Dry cheeks with oily T-zone)

I don’t know why I said, “ I tried these skincare very recently” in the video but I have tested these skincare products for months and infact as soon as they were launched.
I also want to add that I have nothing personal against any brand. I can easily be collaborating with them and making money but I choose to speak my truth always. If you are using these skincare products and like them, please continue using them. I only want skincare brands to do better and listen to their customers feedback. Hope the brands will take this as a feedback and use it to better their skincare products.
Edit 1
Why oxybenzone free sunscreens? (some more points i didn’t mention in the video)
1-Oxybenzone (BP-3) and octinoxate (OMC), two common sunscreen ingredients, were recently banned in Key West and Hawaii due to their toxic effects on marine ecosystems, including coral reefs.
2- No new sunscreen ingredient have been approved by FDA for use since the 1990s despite all the concerns.
3- New generation filters are considered to be safer and are approved in EU, Australia, UK and many other countries. There is a need of more long term studies to test the effects of sunscreen filters in humans.
Mandvi can you please make a video for advanced vitamin c serum( more than 5 percent) for advanced users ?
This was a great insights on skincare products' composition. Could you please make a video on most common and widely used safe skincare products which are effective too.
Please share your thoughts on ras luxury...their radiance oil and brightening gel
This aqualogica, derma co, ayuga are sister brands of mama Earth.....please share your thoughts on derma co sunscreen..many people like it...but would love to know ur thoughts regarding it
We trust your opinion Mam ❤
I am a British Chemist who has been studying the efficacy of sunscreens. During my recent holiday in India, I was amazed at the quality of some of the Indian Sunscreen at such affordable prices! So impressed that I brought back to England 15 Indian sunscreens.
There is a misunderstanding that sunscreen ingredients that damage Coral Reefs must never be used!When you wear a chemical sunscreen & swim in the sea, some of ingredients dissolve in the sea water & certain sunscreen filters like OMC & Oxybenzone have been shown to damage Live coral reefs if the sea you are swimming in has Live corals but it has no relevance to day to day sunscreen users in India who are not going to be swimming in Live Coral Reef rich Sea!
Ingredients such as OMC & Oxybenzone that is mentioned in this Video are banned in Hawaii & some countries because the Sea around these countries have live coral reefs.The reality of the matter is this has very little relevance to the average Sunscreen user unless you are going to swim in coral rich sea in Australia,Hawaii,Pacific islands , Maldives etc after wearing sunscreens containing these ingredients!
The bigger issue is stability of sunscreen filters. Most sunscreen filters especially UVA chemical filters are notorious for their instability under direct sunlight as direct sunlight breaks some UVA filters faster than more stable UVA filters so sunscreens that use more stable UV filter are superior. But re-applying sunscreen every 2 hours will make up for less stable ingredients !
However if you are looking for sunscreens with very stable UV Filters in a chemical sunscreen, the best are Mexoryl XL & Mexoryl which are patented by Loreal & available in most French sunscreen brands owned by Loreal like La Roche Posay, Ambre Solaire etc
Mexoryl Filters are one of the best & most stable UV filters currently available in the Sunscreen industry in the world. They are patented by Loreal so brands not owned by Loreal cannot use them hence why new technologies to increase UV filter stability are being developed every year by International sunscreen manufacturers. I personally find the European,British & US sunscreens heavier in texture or not as quick to absorb as sunscreens I recently tried in India during my recent holiday!
I found Indian sunscreen brands like Aqualogica & Minimalist excellent rivalling some of the best brands in Europe & US in texture, ease of application, very easy to use,just like a moisturiser. However you will need to re-apply every 2 hours if you are out in the sun all day as the UV A filter used is not be as stable as Mexoryl filter or sunscreens that use Helioplex technology but I love the texture & they have proven to be effective in my experience as long as I re-apply every couple of hours when I am out in the sun all day ,they are effective sunscreens!
Thanks😊
You're so good and soo honest !!
I mean so much values you have that you don't succumb to the desire for money even after being in this field , you're precious 💕
Many influencers are just promoting them blindly increasing the hype and shoving into the audience.i really appreciate you for taking a stand
They are doing paid promotion
I guess they don't care about Oxybenzone that much
@@thakurpriyankarana it's hidden in SunCat De in all of their sunscreen
@@anittas224 No I checked. Other two sunscreens have that filter under suncat de but not this one.
@@thakurpriyankarana really? So which filter they are using?
It's refreshing to see atleast someone's giving their honest opinions about popular brands unlike most of the other influencers who say pretty much the same thing as they receive PR from those brands.
I like that you are honest about your recommendations. Keep it up :D.
I have used several substandard products, that damaged my skin, believing influencers who seem to '' love'' any and every product. Now iv unfollowed almost all of them and the information i consume, is curated to just influencers i can trust
I think you should do more such videos so the mango peeps like us get to know the real truth behind these shady brands.. kudos to you for bringing these facts on the platform where every other "influencer" getting paid to rave about these brands and people who don't have any idea blindly following them.
P.s: I really do appreciate your hard work and wish you to grow bigger and bigger and bigger 🙈💕🤞
@@wion.80 don't take it too seriously bro... We all grow and learn new things every day... That's what matter the most at the end of the day.
Keep on giving honest reviews like this. All the influencers are promoting these brands but you are the one who is speaking her heart out. Thank you 😊 💓
Now that's the reason we love you, honest and bold ❣️
Thanking you a lot for this well researched videos. Unlike other youtubers you are not uploading too many videos with different products and not confusing us. This makes you stand out from other influencers. Never lose those ethics. Xoxo ❤
So true..
This video is far from well researched if she's making the use of oxybenzone the main issue with their sunscreens
@@wion.80 I'm not following her recommendations any more. I bought Dr Sheth haldi and moisturiser as per recommendation and it came out to be the worst moisturiser I have ever used. Instead of moisturising it takes away all the moisture and water from the skin and gave a tightening effect. Even aloe Vera gel doesn't give such a tightening effect.
@@wion.80 I'd argue that encapsulation prevents from ingredients penetrating the skin, but you're right. It has been long proven that amount oxybenzone in sunscreens are safe to use and Suncat DE is a combination that ensures it's safe to use. Only problems it can potentially have is with irritating sensitive skin or yet to be well researched side effects on pregnant and lactating women.
Kudos to your authenticity Mandvi🌸 Wishing for more strength to you to bring out the facts to your audience!
The research you’ve put through is commendable!
I have never seen an influencer who recommends consistent Skincare products like you.. You got it gurl.. Love you 💜
I hope you know this is the exact reason why your subscribers are loyal to you and that's your honesty. Please even if u become big please don't promote these brands even if they pay u a bomb just like other big youtubers do. I have unsubscribed so many of them cos they lie for money. Everywhere I could see aqualogica and was actually wondering if it's effective n here's the true picture. It's okay to use same old products if they work for your skin. Audience are so used to seeing new products everyday from youtubers that now they expect the same from all. But you do you girl. Infact when u r consistent with products we believe u more. UA-camrs were madly raving about dermavive n neutriderm n now I don't see any of them using it cos obviously it was a paid gig. N it's sad audiences follow such youtubers blindly without understanding the ingredients. M glad I've stuck to your channel and understand skin ingredients which is extremely important. Keep it up girl👍🏻💯
Finally someone is true to their audience. Seriously I was so upset with all those so called beauty influencer who are just making their audience full. Thank you so much for speaking truth. Your honesty wants me to subscribe you. Thank you so much 💖
Hi Mandvi!! You are one among those very few who speak the truth!! Keep going ahead!! We love u for what u are!! Lots and lots of Love!!💕💕💕
I am finally glad to see a person talking about the harmful chemical filters that the most popular sunscreens in india have. Literally every single person I know was recommending these sunscreens which I was against as they are chemical sunscreens but also the filter that they contained
@@wion.80 It's an old video. When there was not much talk about sunscreens. I know so much more now about skincare and sharing what i learned as i grow with my audience. Same is with skincare industry. There was not much talk about Sunscreen filters being used. Not many studies done but with time people found out about the adverse effects of some of these ingredients. There are better sunscreen filters available now. Skincare industry is changing so fast. Every month there is something new. And i am trying my best to keep up with it and inform my audience accordingly.
Controversial does not necessarily mean harmful. None of the chemicals or other additions you mentioned are proven to be harmful. But these products do give customers almost high end like experience in an affordable rate. Don't simply fear monger like this. Your comments section also proves that people would just blindly take whatever info sounds nice to them.
Agree
She is just trying to gain fame by being oversmart. Her agenda is to defame other influencers and create a better image of herself. New filters are as safe/controversial as old filters, they have not been researched properly and new research papers state that oxybenzone is totally fine/safe to be used in sunscreens.
Trust me it gave me a bad break out and I had no idea what I was doing wrong, saw my dermatologist and he told me oxybenzone was to blame in my aqualogica sunscreen.
@@Cherry_picked_tale30 That's because you have Acne prone sensitive skin. You must avoid oxybenzone but it works great for other skin types. Use only mineral based sunscreens considering your skin issue.
@@Dridhakalra Hey thanks for the suggestions dear but no, my skin isn't acne prone. Infact I never had any acne even in my teenage but it was due to the allergic reaction to the contents in this sunscreen. Anyway I will try some sensitive skin friendly sunscreens from now on. Hope they work well.
Thank you for existing 🙏 You are such a savior. No one literally nobody on UA-cam have been talking about what you just said. Everyone are behind money. I am very particular about my skin care and I don't like fragrance glitters in it yuckk... I am so grateful for you exist 🙏 You have such a pure heart and for that you have potential to become a trusted brand🎗 Launch you own skin care and you will be unstoppable 🔥🔥
This means a lot 💖🫶 Manifesting a trusted brand in future ✨
@@mandvi24 We'll always be with you🤝💗
You go girl! Awesome! De-influencing should be a thing! Influencers need to take a stand! So happy to see this video! Thanks Mandvi ❤
Thank you Isha 💖
Honest review!!! 👍👍👍👍👍We need such honest and genuine reviewer 👍
Neutrogena has been on my blacklist since long. I was never bothered about influencers saying neutrogena sunscreen etc is great!
Here am using Neutrogena sunscreen 🙃
Physical susncreen is great it's just the white cast u have to manage with foundation
I hate it it broke me soo bad
@@nehalulla2764 is it not good? I use it
I love the foaming facewash.... After using it.. Nothing else works.. And it really helps with my blackheads and pimples
*THANKKKK GAWDDD* someone here hasn't sold their soul & is honestly speaking science.
Love the way you're spreading awareness
Hey Mandvi thank you for being fearless and honest 💞💞
Thats why,knowledge is necessary.people r promoting anything without knowledge behind the white cast.u just saved my many bucks.following u from now.just subscribed.
A 💓 for u. People are insane now a days recommending products that are worthless. You r best sweetheart. Just love your work 💖💓🥰💋
I love how honest you are
Found your channel recently and just love how you share genuine review of products unlike other youtubers just promoting them without any thought.. Love your content. 😍😘
Thanks mandvi I have full faith on your recommendations 💫
Thanks for being honest and authentic ❤️
Dot & Key’s recent new launch looks promising, they have launch 4 new serums with 2 active ingredients in them & 2 new moisturisers, lip balm with spf do check them out. I also didn’t like thier products at first but these launches cought my eyes
Thank you so much for speaking what you feel,,so much respect for this,where beauty bloggers Making money by promoting all these,but thank you that you speak to us♥️
thank you so much for this video. these kind of videos saves hard earned money and also well cared skin.
Informative and short. Great work girl!
only influencer who speaks the truth i hope....even the dermatologist turned influences without any regrets recommend the harmul products just by collobrating, good work mandvi kudoss
Just with this one video of yours, you come across as a rare, genuine influencer. In the end, you mentioned that you'd like to talk about which products are good. Pls also share which products aren't good. Because it's more important to know what not to use.
Appreciate honest review and most of your recommendations have made my skin change for good 👍🏻
I have tried all the aqualogica sunscreens from my friend and I really hated the green and yellow one but the niacinamide one was really good it didn't give any white cast and it worked for my oily skin.
Am glad to found your video and just subscribed i was really confused over many products specially sunscreen and after watching tons of video i ordered the aqualogica sunscreen but after watching your video i just cancelled my order you a skin savior for us lots of love to you
Thankyou for opening our eyes. So beautifully informed. 😊
Skincare influencers are promoting whatever sponsorships they get now. This is an important video
Thank you so much for the video!
Sometimes some products are so hyped up...we kind of loose the sight of what we actually need and we end up spending money on things we don't actually need.
Btw what are your thoughts on dermaco skincare products?
Ayuga, Derma co and Aqualogica are all products of Honsaa lifesciences. All these products have same formulation, same packaging, just different labelling. I felt something was fishy when I ordered them from their individual website and all order confirmation msgs came from same manufacturer Honsaa. After your video, i checked all three and found suncat de as the second ingredient which is a combination of oxybenzone and few other chemicals. Ayuga showcases to be a herbal brand but is child to same mother. I love these sunscreens, all of them….it will be a hard decision to shun them and find alternatives. I had stocked them during sale but health comes first. Thanks for making this video.
Great point.. Want to add Mamaearth too to the brands under Honsaa!
Soo happy with your loyal n genuine review pls ❤️❤️❤️
This is the useful information we need badly
Cant thank you enough for doing this, we need real stuff, that's why I choose expensive korean and international brands, at least they took your hard earned money but they also give our skin what its actually need. Unlike indian gimmicky marketing.
Wow.. I have seen lots of video and they appreciated aqualogica product.. and I have added these in my cart then I thought to take a look once and then I found your video .. thank you so much for true review..big fan for your from now onwards.. please share some products for dull , dry skin ..it would be helpful and thank you so much... Now I am going to follow you from today onwards.. you stolen my heart. ❤
I stumbled upon this video and loved your content, thanks for such honest review.
You don't know how much this video helped me....I ordered all those 3 sunscreens from aqualogica recently.... after hearing what you said....I quick cancelled them.... you saved my money girl and my skin as well....I love you...subbed right away😭❤️❤️
I was supposed to order the aqualogica vit c and papaya sunscreen in the afternoon and my battery died then now before ordering I was going through youtube some skincare videos and I saw this xD coincidence. Time to go and remove it from my cart and then order.
@@sanskrutisampannaswainsama5806 Girl we're lucky we came across her video 😆🥂🤜🏼🤛🏼
The sunscreen clearly mentioned their filters also this suncreen is hyrid not mineral so idk why people's are expecting it to sit over skin and work!! Like girl you purchased hybrid sunscreen which is meant to have chemical filters and it do go inside
@@lamar...v1981 naah the oxybenzone component causes hormonal skin darkening....I want no more hyperpigmentation girl... I'd rather stay away from products that contain this chemical... otherwise I'm totally okay with other safe chemical filters.....
@@tia5374 hey, so I just checked the aqualogica sunscreen's ingredients list and it doesn't mention Benzophenone or oxybenzone as one of the ingredients. Did they update their ingredients?
THANK YOU FOR SUCH VIDEOS !!
Thanks for the honest review!
I just stumbled upon this video and your video on popular sunscreen reviews. I appreciate your research and you’ve brought up some great points. However Suncat DE is in an encapsulated form so these “harmful” filters are actually sitting on your skin in a thicker form than it’s original, hence not seeping into your skin. I’m guessing that’s why it was trademarked and created in the first place. Also I think you should mention that there hasn’t been human tested scientific research on how bad these filters really are for our bodies. I have read many research papers as well and unless you are ethically against the environmental damage these chemical filters can cause, then I would suggest to continue using these sunscreens. And with that point, I would also like to point out that these filters have only been done on RATS, which is what we should really be ethically against. Use humans to test it out before coming to conclusion like this, jeez scientists. At the end of the day, it’s about how your skin reacts to it and your AFFORDABILITY range as well. For example, the BOJ sunscreen is amazing with its new age filters but for a product that you need to use everyday- it’s not the most budget friendly for everyone.
I love that you’re de-influencing and providing information that most influencers do not do. But I believe in to each their own so just be informed and buy according to your convenience.
As usual true review keep it up love your content ❤️💞
Just luuvvvv lluuuvvvvvvv uuu nd ur videos nd ur thoughts on products...which really doesn't work for u..for anyone or for everyone.
I just wanna say that u should also do regular videos on skincare products and makeup products, which doesn't work for uu and why they didn't work for uu. This will help us a lootttt...👍
Thanku so much mandvi😭😭😭 you're a saviour literally.. I have zero knowledge about Skincare.. You're gem God always bless you 🌹🙏
Didi u are telling that in this sunscreen there are benzophenone 3 which is not good for skin .... But in Neutrogena ultrasheer sunscreen there are also benzophenone 3 but u appreciate that sunscreen..... Why plzz tell me ...
Plzz tell me di
Thank you so much ❤️I was planning to try them, so thank you.
Every other Beauty Influencer out there is recommending these Aquologica and Dot & Key Products, thanks for bringing out the real truth of these products. We need people like you!! You rock girl!!
Proud to say that i haven't bought anything from any of these brands 😂😂 Thankyou so much for such amazing video. Your honesty is just ❤️
For everyone The Oxybenzone is also named as suncat DE which is 2 ingredient in Aqualogica sunscreen
Thanks for the info.
@@wion.80 Why are you behind her.. Already saw more than 8 comments from you repeatedly blaming her.. It is highly irritating to see your repeated comments. Are you from the brand from which she gave negative feedback in this video 🤔🤔
@@wion.80 you work for Aqualogica? Lol
Sundar DE is as safe/controversial as the new filters. This youtuber is just fear mongering.
The most honest youtuber award goes to Mandvi❤ 🏆
you're right, i have been using this hyped vitamin c moisturizer and niacinamide night gel and their sunscreen too also their new launch lip balm but all these products didn't helped me in long run, i still get active acne and white heads.
Finally there is someone who talks about the negative points of these newly popular brands...👍🏼👍🏼thanks for making us aware in right way
Hello there!! it's your new subscriber 😃Just found your channel and can't stop watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this information with us ☺️
Wish more n more influences come and and stand for this, this is for our skin not a joke
Thank you so much for this honest review. you are really brave. Please review the pilgrim products also.
I hope we can rely on atleast one indian you tuber who actually cares for her community, Thanks Mandvi
Can u please make a video on early pigmentation and how to get rid of them, i am starting to get tiny black dots on my cheeks, n i am 31 years old, thanks, n yes please stay real always, god bless
Could be melasma. Check with derm. Use a good sunscreen
Your so pretty and real person thank you so much dear 💕
Thanku so much mam❤️❤️ for making such an extremely informative and detailed video about aqualogica and other cosmetic brands who claims their products as surely non- comodogenic but you are the one who brings out and reveals their products truth and make the people feel to think more consciously about our precious skin thanks a lot mam.I am really glad on seeing your decent and honest review.Thanks again 😊😊❤️❤️
Thankyou for your honesty.keep shining babe❤
Thank you for the honest review. I was actually looking for the honest review. Thought to try out the brand but was skeptical.
thank you so much!!
i almost bought that vitamin c sunscreen because of how hyped up it is😭
Thank you for making such honest videos
Hey Mandvi🙂.. love ur videos and i love your honesty more... Iv never used Aqualogica anywaz so im happy there😁.. Keep it real like u always do..much love
I'm using aqualogica sunscreen since 5month...and it's give me satisfaction.
Does it darken the skin ?
@@peace20230 no it's help me mild exfoliation....
Same
Appreciate the honesty 🙏
Thank you so much ❤ For honesty
I have used almost 6-8 bottles, yellow one. And I think it's amazing
Now dot and key has fragrance free products.. amazing formulation ❤️
Underrated youtuber but worth 100%
Can you please make a video on affordable skincare with no fragrance, color and which gives better results for oily, textured skin, acne, darkspots and hyperpigmentation.
Honestly everyone's skin is different we easily categorize our skin as oily n dry but tbh it's much more than just being oily n dry I like aqualogica they suited my skin so well so guys I feel that it depends on how well u understand ur skin n then reading the contents of the products n using them well!!
Thank god I got saved. I was about to order the pink aqualogica sunscreen. My first choice was concious chemist one but the aqualogica hype was a bit too much to sway me there.
I just bought this product 🥺 Thank you so much for this video it helped me a lot 💖
Thank you so much for bringing such kind to content through your channel 👏
U are my new Fav YT skincare channel ❤️
Appreciate ur honest review and liked it.
Love u mandvi... U r such a good youtuber... I believe you blindly... Thank you so so much.. 💌💌💗😍
Need more videos like this 🥺🌸
I ordered that aqualogica green sunscreen on a whim and got the pink nutrogena as a sample. I agree with you. The green sunscreen I'm almost done with it and will never purchase it again. Texture wise it's average.
Finally someone tell the truth.. personally I just don't like colour and fragrance in my skincare
Thank u so much for doing this ❤
Yes, you are right 🙏🏼
I am new to your channel and i love the way you give your honest reviews...❤️❤️ Can you please review simple skincare serums
Hiii Mandvi can you please do a video on affordable sunscreen without harmful chemicals with chemical as well as physical filters.
I was about to buy aqualogica products. thank god I saw your video. thank you for your honest review
Agreed 💯 on ur take on the oxybenzone but acc to fda when used in safe limits it does not harm written in many research stuff .. but yes the brand does not tell how much percentage
You saved my money was thinking to buy aqualogica due to sale of B1G1 going on in their site
I don't know about the rest of the products, cause I haven't personally used them, but I did use the aqualogica glow vit c serum. Everyone, even my fav beauty youtubers said it doesn't have any visible glitter, but actually it does have a lot of glitter. I think it would be a good product for a dewy makeup base, but as a skincare product, it looked like a glitter bomb exploded on my face! Maybe I would repurchase it as a makeup base, but never again as a skincare product, and I'd never recommend it as a good skincare product too.
I have used all four variants from aqualogica, none has any glitter. Faced no issue with any of those. Not just me, my mother and brother also use them. Everyone in my family has different skin types and concerns, so it works across different skin types. We have literally finished around 15+ bottles, been using aqualogica ones since they launched just the yellow and green ones.
