Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash Review #BreakUpWithPimples

Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash Review #BreakUpWithPimples

Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash Review #BreakUpWithPimples

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing a product which would help every teenage/college girl out there. Actually anyone who suffers from those unexpected zits/pimples, but that happens a lot during teens, so this one is especially for them.

What it claims: Neem and Lemon work together to give you a much needed breakup from acne!

For: Those who are stuck in an unhealthy relationship with acne or pimples.

How it works: CLEAN & CLEAR® PIMPLE CLEARING Face Wash is a gentle yet effective way to cleanly breakup with your pimples. This ensures that you and pimples never get back together. The neem-lemon formula works well on skin prone to pimples, and within 7 days, will set you on the path to a far healthier relationship with clear skin!

Directions: Apply a small amount on wet palm and work into a rich lather. Gently massage onto face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off thoroughly. Use twice daily for skin that’s beautifully clean and clear!

Ingredients: Water, Triethanolamine, Glycerin, Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose, Fragrance, o-Cymen-5-ol (Isopropyl Methyl Phenol), Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (BHT), Benzophenone 4, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf extract, Passiflora Edulis Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Alcohol Denat., Azadirachta Indica Leaf Extract (Neem), Yellow 10 (CI47005), CI 61570

MRP: Rs.55/- for 40g, Rs.99/- for 80g (Buy HERE)

It comes in a ombre green tube packaging with a slight curve at one end. It has a flip cap and is quite easy to use and travel with. The neem and lemon symbol and the bright green color of the tube make it quite attractive and easy to identify among other tubes.

It is transparent and gel like in color with a green tinge, neither thick nor runny. It has a refreshing smell, a mix of neem and lemon but not too herbal.

It foams pretty well and removes the basic dirt, grime and makeup. Also it does not dry out the skin or leave the skin stretchy craving for a moisturizer.

We all face those occasional nasty zits that come uninvited, especially during that time of the month and spoil a big event or a special day! Pimples are basically like bad boyfriends and we need to break up with them and come out of that bad relationship. Been there, done that. We cannot avoid stepping out or travelling which comes with dirt and pollution and it’s share of harmful effect on the skin, major being pimples.

But we can definitely keep them at bay and get a clean break up from them using the right products. Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash is one such product and I am so glad I got to try this. I was getting 1-2 small zits on the sides of my nose and I didn’t want them to spoil my Diwali. Within 1-2 days of using this face wash, those zits dried up completely!

Lemon & Neem extracts work on the pimple from the very first wash & fights the core of the pimple problem i.e. the bacteria causing the pimples! Neem is anti-bacterial and it works directly on the bacteria, so that the pimple dries up and also doesn’t spread around. Lemon also helps with acne scars, so that the nasty zits do not leave any marks. Aloe vera extracts moisturize the skin and don’t allow the product to be too harsh on the skin. It also has passion fruit extracts and glycerin which again act as a moisturizer.

I am using this daily and would continue doing so, it’s very gentle for daily use and teenage skin. This product is perfect for teenage girls. Highly recommended.

So go ahead and #BreakUpWithPimples! Thank me later 😀

Clean & Clear Natural Bright Face Wash Review

Clean & Clear Natural Bright Face Wash Review

Hi guys,

If you follow my blog, you know I love quite a few Clean & Clear products especially face washes. See all the reviews HERE

They have launched a new variant in face wash, which is Natural Bright. If you follow me on Snapchat (bhumika_t), you must have already seen this and I have been testing this out since the past few days.

CLEAN & CLEAR® Natural Bright is designed for young skin problems, to gently reveal your natural brightness

Recommended for: Teenagers and young adults, who want their skin to look gorgeous and naturally bright.

How It Works: CLEAN & CLEAR® Natural Bright has a double action effect on your skin which helps clear skin problems. The rose water in the face wash helps wash away the dullness caused by impurities in the skin and natural honey with glycerin helps nourish your skin and help it achieve a natural glow that you will love

Directions: Apply a small amount on wet palm. Work it into a rich lather. Gently massage onto face, taking care to avoid contact with the eye area. Rinse off thoroughly. Use twice daily for skin that’s clean, clear and beautiful.

Ingredients: Water,Glycerin, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Glucoside, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Fragrance, Tetrasodium, EDTA, Capryloyl Glycine, 0-Cymen-5-ol, Sodium Benzotriazolyl Buytylphenol Sulfate, Sarcosine, Honey, Sodium Hydroxide, Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Cinnamomum Zeylancium Bark Extract, Cl 14700, Cl 17200, Potassium Sorbate

MRP: INR 110 for 100ml

It comes in their usual slightly curved packaging with a blue flip cap. I love the light rosy pink tint it has and the bubbles make it look more vivid. It smells absolutely amazing, of roses. Not like artificial rose scent, but a very soft British Rose kind of scent.

It’s neither thick nor very runny and in gel form, which is what I prefer in face washes. It doesn’t foam much and hence doesn’t strip off moisture from the skin. In fact, the rose water and natural honey combination leave the skin moisturized enough and your skin will not crave for a moisturiser immediately.

Glycerin adds to the moisture and cinnamon bark helps fight acne and acne scars.

It removes dirt and grime and even basic makeup and leaves the skin squeaky clean and fresh. Natural brightness of the skin gets hidden coz of the dirt and impurities through the day, this face wash helps in getting rid of all that leaving the skin brighter and glowing.

If you have oily skin, I would suggest going with the Foaming One and if you have normal to dry skin, you will love this new Natural Bright face wash.

Best part about Clean & Clear face washes is they are very affordable and easily available.

I tried the all new Clean & Clear Natural Bright face wash in association with BlogAdda,com. If you want to reveal your natural brightness you can buy it HERE

Always Ready with Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash

Always Ready with Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash

Hi guys,

If you remember, I have reviewed the Clean & Clear Foaming Face wash earlier, read HERE. It is one of the most handy and economically priced face wash for oily skin in the market currently. I love how it foams and deep cleanses, getting rid of all the dirt and oil from the pores.

When you use it after a long, tiring day, you can feel the dirt and oil getting cleansed giving you an instant refreshing feeling.

When you have oily or muddy face, you don’t feel confident and at the same time the fear of the dirt and oil getting accumulated in your pores, resulting in clogged pores and acne.

Clean & Clear recognizes that it takes courage to be your real self. It removes dirt, oil, fear and doubt with every wash so that you feel happy in your own skin and have the courage to let people see the real you, whoever you are today.

With Clean & Clear Foaming Face wash and it’s 8 hour long oil controlling ability, you can now get the assurance that you are indeed ready for whatever the day may bring. A cleanser for oily skin is one of the first and very important step to control oily skin.

No one likes the oily, chip chip feeling on the face. And when you are out whole day, one doesn’t have the time to blot the face time and again or keep checking if your face is too shiny.

Wash away your fears and worries about oily skin with Foaming Face Wash. Its 8 hour oil control ensures you see your oil-free real self in the mirror/reflections through the day. So you can be always ready to be the real you.

It definitely keeps oil and shine at bay, for me. When I have a long day out, I always use this and make sure I carry it along with me all the time. You can always keep one in your hand bag, you never know when you might need it 😀 For instance, it may be a stay over at a friend’s place after a long night of partying or an after party from college or work, anytime, anywhere. I love the fact that it is handy and it comes in a smaller 20ml and 50ml bottles too. I don’t worry about my face being shiny or oily when I use this, I know I can #BeAlwaysReady with the Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash.

Clean & Clear has come up with the #BeAlwaysReady contest on Facebook with the Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash, where you can win amazing hampers and the Mega Gratification is that you can be the face of Clean & Clear! Yes, the face of the brand, you read the right.

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and participate in the #BeAlwaysReady contest.

My YouTube Fan Fest 2016 Experience, Vlog

My YouTube Fan Fest 2016 Experience, Vlog

Hi guys,

So if you follow me on any of my social media, you know I went for the YouTube Fan Fest 2 days ago, thanks to Clean & Clear. I also got to meet AIB and Kaushal, was also going to meet Superwoman (Lily Singh) but got cancelled at the last moment 🙁 I also vlogged my day. Here is the vlog..

The Meet & Greet was 4-5.30 where I first met AIB guys and they were really sweet, Tanmay had a meeting and was not present for the Meet & Greet, missed meeting him.

And then later I met Kaushal from Kaushal Beauty, she is a UK based Gujarati Youtuber and is fabulous with her work, check out her channel HERE. She again was super sweet and I told her how I feel connected to her being a Gujarati Beauty Blogger since there aren’t many, and even she related to that.

I went to the Clean & Clear booth later, where they had fun activities. Like writing ‘What do people think of you as’ on a balloon and then bursting it, for which a GIF was created. And then they had a message wall where you had to write ‘My Pledge To Be Real Is..’

The Fan Fest show started at around 7.15 and it was broadcasted live. If you still haven’t seen it, see it HERE.

I loved AIB, SnG Comedy, EIC, Being Indian and quite a lot of them. But my favourite performace has to be Superwoman’s. It was at the end and what an amazing way to end the show. She gave a power packed performance and you had to hear the cheering from the crowd, it was insane! Second favourite was Sanam Official, love their band, love their songs, especially ‘Gulabi Aankein’.

Overall, it was quite fun and I loved being at the YouTube Fan Fest.

Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub Review

Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub Review

Hi guys,

I have reviewed the Clean & Clear Morning Energy face washes before HERE and the Foaming Facial Wash HERE. Today I am reviewing the Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub.

What the Company claims:  Apple extracts that visibly reduce blackheads in just 3 days!

Recommended For: Those with blackheads, and those who don’t want them. For normal, dry, oily, and combination skin types.

How It Works: CLEAN & CLEAR® BLACKHEAD CLEARING Daily Scrub is a fast and effective solution for skin that is prone to blackheads. It has effective micro-scrubbing beads that break down trapped oil, dirt, and dead skin. The natural apple extract formula penetrates deep into pores to help soften stubborn blackheads, and prevents new ones from forming. Its gentle exfoliating action leaves your skin smooth and clean!

Directions: Squeeze a small amount on wet palm. As you work into a rich lather, gently massage the product all over your face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off thoroughly. Use daily for skin that’s beautifully clean and clear!

Ingredients: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate, Propylene Glycol, Lauryl Methyl Gluceth-10 Hydroxypropyldimonium Chloride, Polyethylene, Glycoldistearate, Laureth-4, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Carbomer, Salicylic Acid, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, CI 77289, Fragrance, Sodium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Malic Acid, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Fruit Juice, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Juice, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Juice, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Juice, Trideceth-9, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Extract

MRP: Rs.110/- for 80g (BUY HERE)

I was a regular user of this scrub and have gone through a lot of tubes, I am glad I got to try it again. It comes in a ombre blue tube with a navy blue flip cap packaging. Packaging is convenient and travel friendly, it also comes in smaller sizes which are perfect for travel.

It is gel like in texture and off white in color with tiny, white exfoliating beads and small green granules in between. It also foams a bit and can be used as a face wash. You do not need separate face wash and face scrub as it does the job of both beautifully.

It takes off the dirt and oil and skin feels squeaky clean post washing. Concentrate more on the nose area and the chin i.e. the area between the lip and chin while scrubbing, coz those areas are prone to blackheads the most.

Coming to the ingredients, it has Salicylic Acid which helps clear acne and blemishes and also acts as a mild exfoliator. Witch Hazel water makes for an excellent astringent/toner. Malic Acid helps in brightening & smoothing the skin. Aloe vera hydrates the skin. Kiwi & Orange juice are both loaded with Vitamin C and help you in clear, glowing skin. Grapefruit juice has retinol and has anti-aging benefits. It is also anti-bacterial. Apple Juice is amazing for oily skin as it helps treat acne and is full of Vitamin C. It helps uproot the blackheads which then come off easily with the scrubbing motion. It does have Alcohol which is a bit drying but the Sweet Almond Oil would balance the dryness.

This scrub as the name suggests is perfect and gentle for daily use. It will not harm the skin as the scrub granules are very mild and won’t tear your pores.

I don’t have a lot of blackheads but I do have a lot of whiteheads and this scrub has helped me in getting rid of all the whiteheads with a week of regular use. I think it will need longer and continuous use for blackheads though. You can also use it post makeup removal, to get rid of any makeup left in pores and cleanse the skin thoroughly.

I am using it daily right now and absolutely love it. Highly recommend it. It is economical and works for all skin types.

Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash Review

Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash Review

Hi guys,

If you remember I have reviewed the Clean & Clear Morning Energy Burst Face Wash before (Read HERE). Clean & Clear has been one of the oldest brands and one of the first to introduce face washes in India and that too in the affordable category. I believe every one of us has used and loved Clean & Clear face washes.

The Foaming Face Wash was one of their very first launches. I loved the Morning Energy range and was eager to try the new Foaming Face Wash.

What the Company claims: Clean & Clear’s improved oil-free Foaming Face Wash helps prevent pimples, oily shine and blackheads; thoroughly removing oil and dust without over-drying skin. The improved Foaming Face Wash promises to leave skin feeling clean, clear and radiant; and, best of all, controls oil for up to 8 hours!

About Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash: Gentle enough to use every day, for clean and clear skin that glows.

Recommended for: Those who want to remove excess oil from their skin and prevent pimples.

How it works: CLEAN & CLEAR® FOAMING Face Wash is specially designed for young skin – to remove excess oil, while its special ingredients help prevent pimples. Its liquid formula cleans deep without causing dryness, and is gentle enough to use every day, for clean and clear skin that glows.

Directions: Apply a small amount on wet palm and work into rich lather. Gently massage onto face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off thoroughly. Use twice daily for skin that’s beautiful, clean and clear! Follow with CLEAN & CLEAR® OIL FREE MOISTURISER for best results.

Ingredients: Water, Triethanolamine, Glycerin, Myristic Acid, Lauric Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Lauryl Phosphate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Fragrance, Pentasodium Triphosphate, O-Cymen-5-ol (Isopropyl Methtylphenol), Benzophenone-4, Butylated Hydroxy Toluene

MRP: Rs.99/- for 100ml (Buy Here)

It comes in this clear bottle with blue cap, the standard Clean & Clear face wash packaging. It is runny and transparent with a slight golden hint.

It comes out clear and foams well. It deep cleans the skin and gets rid of all the dirt and clears the pores, you can feel it cleaning from deep within. It also controls the oil secretion for about 6-8 hours. I have combination skin and my T-zone gets oily in 3-4 hours usually but with this, it is well in control for a decent time.

Since it foams a lot, it does dry out the skin a bit and needs to be followed up with a rich moisturizer, especially in winters.

I really like the way it deep cleans, the fact that it can be carried along easily, comes in mini versions too which are perfect for hand bag for use in college, office, etc., is affordable and easily available everywhere. It is perfect for oily and combination skin, but I know friends with dry skin too, who quite like it.

Clean & Clear always comes up with interesting and helpful campaigns time and again, the latest being ‘Ready Face’. Ready Face helps teenage girls find their courage by introducing a ritual to empower girls to face the day head on. (Read more HERE)

Teenage years can be some of the most daunting, as they experience some of the most drastic developments to their emotional, physical and social well-being during these years. Part of these developments include the struggle to control the blemishes and oiliness surfacing on their constantly changing skin.

We have all been through that teen phase where even one pimple feels like our life is terrible and our confidence is at the lowest. We do not even feel like stepping out of the house and God forbid if we have a presentation or college fest or something like that, it’s like the ‘end of the world’ for us!

Research shows that a staggering 70% of girls age 15 to 17 avoid their daily activities when they feel bad about their looks and that 7 in 10 girls also believe that they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way.

So how does Clean & Clear empower teen girls to be their most courageous self? How do they help them combat their self-judgement?

The experts believe people who smile more frequently or do a power pose feel more confident about themselves.

Clean & Clear believes that beauty comes from being confident, comfortable and secure in your own skin. That is why the brand wants to introduce teenagers around the world to Ready Face, a concept that empowers you to channel your most courageous self– It can be a smile, a look, a gesture, or saying in front of the mirror that provides individuals with the confidence they need to take on everyday challenges. Ready Face motivates young girls to smile, be confident and take on the world. By getting noticeably clearer, more beautiful skin, teens are empowered to take back the mirror, flash their Ready Face, and become their most beautiful self.

So what do you think about the Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash? And Ready Face?

Clean & Clear Morning Energy Face Wash Reviews

Clean & Clear Morning Energy Face Wash Reviews

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing a brand that has been around since ages, it was the very first face wash for most of us, ‘Clean & Clear’. Also the first to have come in a small bottle packaging which then became its trademark.

Today, it has launched so many different variants of face washes and also scrubs and moisturizers. One such range is the ‘Morning Energy’. I had read a lot about it and also seen them, but never really tried them untill now.

I am so glad I did! They come in their trademark bottle packaging and different variants and sizes.

Variants:

  • Brightening Berry (brighten dull skin)
  • Energizing Lemon (energize tired looking skin)

I love the transparent bottle packaging, it lets you see the exact quantity plus the colorful beads that can be seen through the bottle look really nice. It has a flip cap and you can control the exact quantity you need per wash. Also the small tiny bottles that come in smaller size are perfect for your handbag or travel.

Clean & Clear has come up with this beautiful #seetherealme campaign with this Morning Energy range which basically tells the teenage girls to show the world their real self and not be judged by looks, shape, size, colour, clothes, etc. I think it is a fabulous initiative coz the teens is when we are most conscious of the way we look and what people comment, etc. and it is very important for us to stay confident through that age.

Coming to the face wash again, it has small tiny beads which don’t melt, they just wash off and exfoliate a bit gently. I like gel based face washes, they are easy to use and wash off. It foams well, smells amazing, and is actually great to lift your sleepy head in the mornings!

It won’t remove your waterproof makeup, etc. but it is not even meant for that. It is a basic, regular face wash that refreshes you and removes oil and dirt. It is targeted towards the college girls and works perfect for them.

I love the Brightening Berry, smells so yumm! These are affordable, easy to carry and come in a range of sizes and variants. Absolutely recommend this to the college going girls, the smallest bottle is perfect for your handbag.
