Yardley English Lavender Gentle Cleansing Face Wash Review

Yardley London has recently launched their very famous face washes in India..

It comes in two variants..Gentle Cleansing (Refreshing Facial Cleanser) and Deep Cleansing(Luxurious Facial Foam)..each further comes in two forms..English Lavender and English Rose.

What the Company claims:

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs. 70/- for 50g

I am not very fond of Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Washes as they make my skin feel dry and stretchy…and gel based face washes suit my skin perfectly.

This English Lavender Gentle Refreshing Facial Cleanser is quite my types..and Lavender is my favorite scents too.

Its a light violet transparent gel based face wash..only a small amount is required for the whole face..I love the transparent violet tube too and the cap is sturdy enough..neither does excess face wash ooze out and it snaps and closes tight too.

I love the light lavender soothing smell..its very gentle as claimed..and skin never felt dry or stretchy after using this..though it does not foam too much..but decently well..and cleanses well too.

Pros:

1. Love the transparent violet packaging..the cap is sturdy and it is travel friendly.
2. I quite like the soothing lavender smell.
3. Its quite gentle and does not strip the face of oils or make it feel dry and stretchy.
4. You need just a little amount.
5. Comes in the Deep Cleansing Foam form too if you prefer cream based foaming face washes…and in English Rose scent if you like that.
6. Economically priced.

Cons:

1. Has SLS.
2. Would not remove your make up..this is a gentle cleanser..so do not expect that.

No other cons..Overall I like this…love the Lavender smell and it is gentle enough to be used everyday..surely recommended if you like Lavender scent..I love Yardley English Lavender Deo and Soap too 😀

Ingredients:

Its a mandarin and orange based face wash…has a very citrusy smell to it..and looks tangy too. You need just a little bit and it lathers quite well…it does leave the skin squeaky clean..but one surely needs a moisturiser after using this as its a little drying..since its a foaming face wash.

Pros:

1. I liked the citrusy smell.
2. Lathers quite well.
3. It does leave the skin squeaky clean and would remove your basic makeup too.
4. I liked the packaging.

Cons:

1. The flip cap does not close properly and also some product gets collected at the tip.
