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.

Biotique Bio Morning Nectar Flawless Face Wash Review

By Archana

Today, I will be reviewing the second product that I received from Biotique. If you had already read my review of ‘Biotique Bio Papaya Revitalising Tan Removal Scrub’ and ‘Biotique Morning Nectar Flawless Skin Lotion‘, you would by know what a wonderful product it is and how much am loving it. So I had high expectations from this ‘Biotique Bio Morning Nectar Flawless Face Wash’ as well. Read on to know how it fares.

Products claims: Prevents dark spots

Ingredients: Margosa Leaf Ext 4.0%, Wintercherry Root Ext 2.0%, Moong Seed Ext 3.0%, Honey 1.5%, Coconut oil 2.0%, Ritha Fruit Ext 15.0%, Purified Water Q.S.

Directions to use: Gently massage over wet face & neck with fingertips, lather & rinse, morning and evening.

Packaging:
The face wash comes in a simple white plastic tube with a green flip-open cap. The cap shuts tightly and can be carried around without fear of leakage.

Texture and fragrance:
It is a white color, cream based face wash with a runny consistency. It has a strong herbal fragrance which I don’t like much.

My experience:
This is a cream-based face wash, so it would be more suitable for dry skin people. It lathers well and cleanses the skin effectively. On washing off, it tends to leave a thin filmy residue. This might be useful for dry skin people as it will prevent the skin from becoming stretchy by acting like a layer of moisture. But for combination skin people like me, I feel that, it makes the skin become oily and shiny after some time. Also, I feel the cleansing effect is not sufficient when I travel a lot outside in pollution. But it is a mild and gentle cleanser to be used when you are spending more time indoors. It doesn’t cause any irritations and can be used by even sensitive skin people. Coming to its claims of preventing dark spots, I haven’t really noticed any difference in that. Also, I see the ingredients list contain coconut oil, so acne-prone skin people should skip it.

Pros:
* Mild and gentle cleanser.
* Doesn’t dry out skin.
* Contains goodness of ayurvedic ingredients like neem, wintercherry root, moong seed, etc.
* Suitable for sensitive skin also.
* Very affordable.
* Organic, preservative free, cruelty free.

Cons:
* Not suitable for oily, combination skin types.
* Doesn’t deep cleanse.
* Strong fragrance.
* Dark spot prevention claims are not true.

Price and quantity: Rs.60 for 50ml.

Rating: 3.8/5

Verdict: Biotique Bio Morning Nectar Flawless Face Wash is a very affordable, mild and gentle cleanser for dry and sensitive skin people. It contains the goodness of many ayurvedic ingredients and is organic and preservative-free. I would recommend dry skin people or those who spend most time indoors and looking for a gentle cleanser to give this a try, but others can skip it.

Editor’s Note: Sounds Ok. I prefer gel based face washes for my combination skin. I don’t like cream based ones that lather a lot. Nicely reviewed 🙂

Curatio Fash Anti-Acne Face Wash Review

By Archana

Winters are almost getting over and sunny days have started. I can feel my skin which suffered from excessive dryness during winters is going to back to its usual oily-combination self. When it comes to face washes, I was using more of creamy cleansers during winters. But now I have to change them to a more deep-cleansing face wash which can control oil for a longer time. Thanks to Bhumika, I got to try this Fash Face Wash from Curatio at the right time. Read to know whether it is a hit or a miss.

Product Claims: Fash Face Cleanser is an innovative approach to healthy skin, which regulates the skin ecosystem. With its specially developed formulation, Fash helps remove dirt, dead cells and excessive oil without leaving skin feeling dry. Regular use of Fash cleanser helps maintain clean, youthful and radiant skin.

Ingredients:

Directions to use: Wet face with water, pour sufficient quantity of Fash face cleanser on palm, develop a rich lather, and gently massage on face for 2 minutes. Rinse off. Repeat if skin is very oily. Use 1-3 times a day.

Packaging:

The face wash comes in a sturdy plastic tube with a flip-open cap. The blue and white color graphics of the tube looks fresh and energizing. I have carried around the tube in my handbag and there has been no leakage or spillage. So packaging wise, the face wash looks good as well as convenient and travel friendly.

Texture and fragrance:

The face wash is blue colored with a mild, fresh, menthol-kind of fragrance. The texture of the face wash is one of the weirdest I have ever come across. It is gel-like and sticky.

My experience:

I have been using the face wash for the past two weeks and have been pretty satisfied with it. Except for the weird, sticky texture that I have mentioned above. When I squeeze the face wash into my hands, the gel just sticks to my hands. I have a hard time spreading it on my face as it just sticks to the skin, even though my face is wet. I need to massage well for it to work. It doesn’t create any lather as such. But on massaging for some time, the blue gel texture turns into bluish-white paste like a face pack. On the directions, it is mentioned that the face wash has to be massaged for 2 minutes. And I felt, it works well only when used that way.

Initially, I was using it in the usual quick way of applying and washing off like any other face wash and it didn’t work well. Also, owing to the sticky consistency, it becomes difficult to wash off as well and takes time to remove it completely. Even I have a hard time washing it off from my hands. While washing, if any gel accidentally drips into your wash basin, it sticks there as well and you have to scrub to get rid of it.

But for all this hard work in using a face wash, the results are very satisfactory. It deep cleanses the skin and removes all oil, dirt and gives a fresh look. Am not sure if it contains menthol or not, but it gives a nice cooling and fresh feeling just like a menthol-based face wash. It doesn’t dry out skin much and I don’t feel the need to immediately reach for a moisturiser, though that might not be the case with dry skin people. It keeps my face fresh and oil-free for around 4-5 hours which is pretty good. Also, as mentioned in the product claims, I feel that it removes dead cells too and the whiteheads which I used to get frequently are more in control now.

Pros:
* Deep cleanses skin and gets rid of all dirt and oil.
* Gives a nice cooling effect.
* Keeps face oil-free for 4-5 hours.
* Removes dead cells.
* Controls whiteheads.
* Doesn’t dry out skin.
* Mild fragrance which is not bothersome.
* Nice and travel-friendly packaging.
* Free from SLS and parabens.

Cons:
* Sticky texture.
* Difficult to wash off.

Price and quantity: Rs.190 for 100g.

Rating: 4.3/5

Verdict: Overall, Curatio Fash Face Wash is a good face wash for oily-combination skin especially in summers. It gives a nice cooling feeling, deep cleanses skin and keeps it oil-free for a long time. Only con is the sticky texture which takes a while to spread and then wash off.

Editor’s Note: Oo..this is something quite unique and interesting. I have never tried something like that, but since this is specially meant for acne prone skin and controls that, it will be a boon for acne prone people. Nice review Archana 🙂

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

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)
  • Purifying Apple (purify oily skin)

What it claims:  Morning energy Face washes are specifically designed to wake up your dull looking skin in the morning.

Benefits of the product
The gentle face wash contains natural extracts of Strawberry, Lemon or Apple and its unique formula is enriched with soft BURSTING BEADS® that gently burst with an energizing fragrance on your skin and let you experience a new wave of freshness every morning.

Recommended for
Those who want to freshen and energise their tired skin.

How it works
This gentle face wash works like a charm to transform your dull skin. If you’re looking for a burst of morning energy at any time of the day, look no further!

The rich foam thoroughly removes oil and dirt. Its special ingredients help prevent common skin problems, without drying out your skin. The natural berry extract leaves your skin looking fresh and glowing.

Brightening Berry Ingredients
Energizing Lemon Ingredients
Purifying Apple Ingredients

Lemon has Lemon Fruit & Passionflower extracts, Apple has kiwi, orange, grapefruit & apple extracts.

MRP: Rs.110/- for 100ml

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.

Lemon has golden yellow and white beads, Berry has pink and white beads and Apple has green beads in it.

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.

ZA True White Cleansing Foam, Toner, Night Cream Review

Hey guys,

I had reviewed my favourite moisturizer these days HERE. i.e ZA True White Day Protector. I have been trying the cleansing foam, toner and night cream from the same range since quite some time and would be reviewing those today.

About the ZA range by Shiseido : ZA (pronounced as zi:ei) True White features three best whitening ingredients –Revolutionary 4MSK Formula penetrates deep within the skin to diminish the formation of excessive melanin, reduce blemishes & dark spots that are visible on the surface giving an even-toned radiance.

Vitamin C Complex with a potent combination of APM (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) and VC-IP (Tetrahexydecyl Ascorbate) lightens the deep rooted melanin pigments to restore skin’s translucence.

The range is enriched with exclusive SPA ingredients like Natural Spring Water from the foothills of Mount Cazzaro in Tuscany, Italy, Trehalose and White Lily extract to give unparalleled moisture to the skin. Its Prism Enhancer System removes unwanted dead corneal cells and allows for maximum diffusion of light on the skin’s surface making it radiant with brightness.

ZA True White Cleansing Foam

What the Company claims: A whitening cleansing foam that provides essential care for moisturized translucent skin.

How to: Squeeze a small amount onto palm and work into a lather using cool or lukewarm water. Gently massage over face in circular motion. Rinse thoroughly.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.349/- for 100g (Available for Rs.339/- HERE)

It comes with a flip cap packaging. It is the creamiest face wash I have ever seen or used, like literal cream! It has small brown granules which help in light exfoliation and not harsh. It cleanses well and even removes your basic makeup.

Only issue being, I find it slightly drying, though thats the case with most cream based face washes. I generally like gel based ones for the same reason. But still it was the least drying and the most creamy cream based face wash. I would not recommend it for dry skin, unless you are used to cream based face washes. But would work great with oily combination skin, with some moisturizer above it, of course.

Rating: 3.75/5

ZA True White Toner

What the Company claims: A whitening toner for moisturized translucent skin.

How to: Smooth an appropriate amount over face with hand or cotton pad after cleansing.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.699/- for 150ml

Its a runny watery liquid, has a soft floral smell and does not dry out the skin even though it has alcohol.

I am not much of a toner person. I know people always recommend the CTM routine, but I am more into facial mists. Toner is not really my thing. Though it helps in cleaning and tightening pores,etc. I have not seen any major difference with/without toners on my skin. Or may be I am never regular enough with toners.

I definitely prefer alcohol free toners, as alcohol totally rips the moisture from the skin. There are not many options in India as far as good alcohol free toners are concerned. If you are into the CTM routine and tone regularly and are ok with toners having alcohol, do give this a try. I did not see too much of a difference though. Might work more for people with oily skin.

Rating: 3/5

ZA True White Night Cream

What the Company claims: This whitening Night Cream works hard while you are fast asleep. Gives high Whitening effect by diminishing melanisation, dark sports, blemish marks and patchiness to reveal translucent, clear skin; and Moisturizing effect by removing excess surface cells, while deeply hydrating skin from inside-out.

How to use: Smooth an appropriate amount over face with fingers after toner. Apply several dots on the face and spread evenly from the centre of the face outwards.

MRP: Rs.999/- for 40g

It comes in jar packaging like the ZA True White Day Cream. It has a gel like texture and is water based. It gets completely absorbed into the skin and there is no greasiness with this.

You don’t even need too much product, but just a pea sized amount. This will best suit people with oily skin. If you have dry skin and prefer light creams, then you will like it. But if you love heavy rich creams at night, this won’t be enough in terms of moisturization. I like water based creams especially in summers. Though at times I prefer richer ones when I feel my skin looks dry and needs hydration and moisture.

I did not find it deeply hydrating as claimed but it did help in healing a few acne spots faster. Worth a try.

Rating: 3.5/5

My favourite from the ZA Range is still the True White Day Protector, followed by the Cleansing Foam, Night Cream and Toner.

Have you tried the ZA skincare range ? If yes, what is your favourite ? If no, what would you like to try first ?

Join Garnier Men India In The Nationwide Movement to #SayNoToBars and #SayYesToOilClear

Men will be men! No matter what the situation, this statement will always hold true for them.

Take a minute to think this through…
How many men have you seen who pay attention to grooming? Well, we know your answer – barely any, right! That’s true for most men. As the brand that cares about men and their grooming, Garnier Men India is out on a mission to change this.

Don’t you think its gross to use the same soap you use ‘everywhere’ on your body, on your face too ?! And, the skin on your face is definitely thinner and more delicate than the rest of the body. Plus, also more exposed to the sun and pollution. We, (including men) should take extra care of our facial skin. But, men do not understand this basic, simple thing, as if its some deep science ! #StupidThingsMenDo, I tell ya.

I really like this #SayNoToBars campaign and if guys get convinced to ditch those soap bars and try a face wash, it would be really cool and effective. Whenever I see a guy carrying a facewash, I love it. It is also one of the way of showing yes,we too care about ourselves and our skin and do not ignore it !

We believe, behind every successful man there is a woman – who helps him with what to wear and what to do. So, what could be a better way to make men change their attitude towards grooming than get the women to lead this initiative with us?

This is why, Garnier Men, in this Nationwide Movement ask men to Say No To Bars. Yes, they mean – Say No To ‘Soap’ Bars. Wondering why? Here you go –

1. Soap bars are unhygienic as the same bar is used for multiple purposes. Instead, why not switch to a face wash which is for a defined purpose?

2. Soap bars are history now! Modern men prefer to use face wash that is customised to suit their skin’s needs. So, why not be the man of today who loves modern facilities?

3. Soap bars are inconvenient and not practical to use at all. Then, why not be smart and switch to a face wash which is easy to carry?

Keeping these advantages of face wash in mind, they ask men to take a pledge against the use of soap bars. They instead recommend men to use the Garnier Men Oil Clear Face Wash for a deep cleansing action which removes excess oil without drying your skin while ensuring a day-long oil-free feel. If you are a guy, take the pledge NOW! HERE http://saynotobars.thegarnierman.com

And if you are a girl, make sure you get your guy to use a face wash and make him pledge against soap bars ! No More Bars !!

To make sure, they get the message clearly, here’s a fun song which tells you why it’s time to #SayNoToBars and #SayYesToOilClear 

So go ahead, bring a change in the men you care about!

Organic Harvest 3-in-1 Face Wash Review

What the Company claims: A Paraben free formula which cleanses, scrubs, and provides whitening to your skin. The active used in this face wash is pure Ribose, a natural pentose obtained by biotechnology from corn seed sugars. It restores energy to the skin for a global anti-aging action. It has irregular-shaped granules which are soft enough to prevent scratches on the skin.

Direction for Use: Pour into palm and apply to thoroughly wet face. Work up lather. Rinse thoroughly.

MRP: Rs.395/- for 100ml

Key Ingredients:

It comes in a olive green colored tube packaging with a flip cap opening..it does’nt shut tight..but I have carried it during my travel and it did not spill or anything.

Its a light tinted blue gel like formula with soft blue minute granules..it foams decent. (not as much as the foaming cream face wash..I don’t like those anyways). The granules as claimed are super soft and not at all scratchy or abrasive.

It has a mix of ayurvedic cum bubblegum smell..kinda different..but not bothering as such. My skin feels super refreshed,soft and smooth after using this. Even though it has scrubbing granules, I do use it daily but not twice, just once a day. And there has’nt been any issues as such with it. The other time I use my trusted HG face wash Himalaya Neem.

It also helped me reduce my tan to a great extent..I am going to continue using it. I love how my skin feels with it..plus its paraben free and made of natural ingredients..so all the more good. Skin did not crave moisture after using this..but felt just right. Dry skin might need a moisturiser.

I only felt that it being a paraben free and natural brand, why only key ingredients are mentioned. This policy is only allowed in India which some brands are taking advantage of.

Pros:

1. Cleanses and scrubs as claimed..not sure of whitening, but helped with reducing the tan to a great extent.

2. Granules are very mild and soft and suitable for use everyday.

3. Paraben free and made of natural ingredients.

4. Skin feels super refreshed and soft after using this.

5. Right amount of moisture..skin does not feel dry with it.

Cons:

1. Slightly expensive..but I am using it from a long time and still a lot is left I guess..you don’t need much.

2. Availability is an issue..only available online right now.

3. Only key ingredients mentioned.

Overall, I would say, its one of the best face washes I have tried in a very long time..my skin feels amazing after using this. I cannot describe it in words but I am surely loving it..this one is a must have !! Highly recommended.

However very few realise that cleansing can be a damaging process causing skin to lose moisture, essential proteins and lipids from its surface layer. Dove, the global beauty brand with a rich heritage in cleansing and caring for skin, now brings to you a solution that combines the benefits of cleansing and moisturizing with the new Dove Beauty Facial Cleansers range.


This range is formulated with NutriumMoisture™ and DEFI (Directly Esterified Fatty Isethionate) that replenishes facial skin with moisture and nutrients that are lost during the cleansing process, leaving the skin feel bouncy and happy.

NutriumMoisture™, a first-of-its kind technology, addresses the needs of both proteins and lipids by repairing cleansing damage and restoring skin’s natural moisture. The formulation comprises of sodium lauroyl isethionate, a mild cleanser that reduces protein and lipid damage to skin and skin-compatible natural moisturizers, including stearic acid and glycerine that fully absorbs into skin to replenish lipids lost during cleansing.

The new Dove Facial Cleansers range caters to all skin types and needs. All contain NutriumMoisture™, which acts as a unique, intense beauty serum by making the skin feel bouncy and happy. This new range comprises of three exciting variants and is available for Rs. 90 (50 g) and Rs 165 (100 g) at your nearest retail outlets

Lakme Sun Expert After Sun Skin Lightening Face Wash Review

What a huge name..:p
It again is a part of the Sun Expert Range. And comes in the After Sun range of products.

Its transparent and gel like in consistency. It has small white granules kind in between which are very tiny..may be they are meant for exfoliation but they are too small and few in number to help in exfoliation. It again has a nice cucumber and lemon grass smell which lingers on.

Pros:

1. Gives a nice soothing feeling required right after sun exposure similar to Nature’s Co. Peppermint face wash.
2. Skin feels calm and relaxed from the heat…esp for people who suffer from sun burns and go red in the sun.
3. Has a nice smell which lingers on for a while.
4. Does leave skin soft and fresh as claimed.
5. I liked the yellow packaging..it looks very attractive.
6. Did not sting my eyes.
7. Did not leave an oily film or a stretchy feeling on skin..just normal supple clean skin.

Cons:

1. I am not sure of the lightening claim but it does help with tan and I liked the fact about it.
2. ‘Deep cleanses each pore’ sounds high a claim.
3. The tiny little grains in it are of no help…I do not know why where they included.

I think this face wash is perfect for people with sensitive skin and who suffer from sun burns…this would help their skin to soothe a lot.
