Expert review: Boroline

Boroline
Boroline

The humble Boroline cream is not something we all pick up. Of course we think of it as an outdated cream. But on a shopping trip, I needed something for my rough elbows immediately and picked Boroline without much thought and I was in for a surprise. I picked up the tube thinking to use it immediately and probably keep it in the car for such emergencies but now its become my staple skin cream. See how Boroline fared and surprised us:

Price : 28 INR

How to use Boroline effectively: Clean the skin well and then apply Boroline – gently massaging in the cream. Warming up Boroline and using it in molten state increases its efficacy – specially in curing skin infections.  In case the cut is open and deep, it is advisable to apply Boroline only when the cut has closed and begun to dry up.

Packaging: Packaged in its old military green metal tube and black cap the look of Boroline is best described signature classic.
