"I absolutely love all the skincare products I purchased from Ranavat. First, I love the fragrance! Second, I love the consistency and feel of every product. Thirdly, I trust that Michelle, being a Chemical Engineer, knows what she is doing and talking about. I will see the results only in a few months and that too someone else who has not seen me in a while will be able to tell more than me. But I have put my faith in Ranavat."
"Loving the Ranavat Brightening Saffron Essence ✨ Lightweight, hydrating, and gives my skin a beautiful healthy glow. It layers perfectly with my skincare routine and makes every application feel luxurious. 💛"
"This formula is amazing. It does not go on greasy and my skin absorbs it immediately. My skin feels hydrated and has less oil. I combine it with the cream cleanser and gel moisturizer and my oily skin looks great."
"My favourite essence. It brightens my skin and leaves it feeling so comfortable. I love the texture, the earthy scent and the luxurious packaging."
"I love how this product feels and it’s great to use before the face oil- the only thing I will say is that the sample came with a dropper and this bottle doesn’t have that so it’s a bit difficult to get the product on my hands and then on my skin. A dropper would be ideal for application."
"Best skin care and I’ve used almost everything. First off it works my skin is glowing and bright and hydrated. It’s all natural. The customer service is really great. And it’s affordable."
"I like this product because it feels cooling on my skin and it gives a light glow to my skin. I use it with other saffron products from the Ranavat line and I haven't experienced any breakouts but my skin looks moisturized and dewy."
"Such a beautiful product. The saffron is such a nice touch; it adds so many benefits and smells absolutely divine"
"This is a pretty good essence. It feels pleasant on the skin and the scent is very nice. I personally prefer an essence that is a bit more nourishing and moisturizing. I have dry and sensitive skin and this is not the best fit for that. It's OK but it wasn't my favorite."
"I think the product is working. But it’s very watery and doesn’t really feel like I applied anything. But I use the lotus cream on top of it. My skin is starting to look better so I would recommend this if you can afford it"
