This Review Title is made my face itch - would not recommend! and the content is: i agree it is coarse, i  am not too sure if its effective or will give negative effect to skin, i will update on that later when i see the results. but definitely it doesnt stain the skin although it is yellow, so i think its genuine.<br /><br />update 11/2017- i started using it right after i bought it as i felt it would be better compared to normal tumeric. i started using it for  my diy tumeric face mask.  i start having rashes on my face. i didnt believe it at first, so i stopped using it for a few months. and then i tried this again and the rash came back!<br /><br />so, i tried using very small amounts of eating tumeric (normal spice tumeric) and i didnt get any rash. my conclusion is, i may be allergic to kasturi manjal or its not prepared in clean conditions and will give rash. save your money and do not buy!.There are other information for this review, one is This reviewer did not purchase it and the other is 0 people think this review is helpful.
