Fabindia Tea Tree Face Wash Review

by Venetha

Hi my friends!
Since time immemorial, I have been battling with acne- my most pressing skin issue since puberty. I am always on the hunt for anti acne products. Clean and clear seemed to work for a year or so and then it gave up on me. When things got worse, I had to consult a dermatologist to make peace with my skin. Now that my acne is pretty much under control, I just have to maintain my skin balance and take care of the occasional pop ups.

Fabindia is a pan Indian company that has a skin care range made organically and I love it for that. When I decided to hit the store, as usual I was looking for products to take care of my oily acne prone skin. That is when I spotted their tea tree range. Tea tree oil works well against acne. So I just had to get their face wash as a start. And boy did it work!

Product Description:

An antiseptic face wash ideal for oily skin, containing tea tree oil and turmeric extract. Daily use removes excess sebum reducing acne and pimples.

Ingredients:

Price:

Rs. 165 for 120 ml

Shelf life:

36 months from the date of manufacture

My Experience with Fabindia Tea Tree Face Wash:

The packaging is a standard one in all Fabindia products. It looks neat and traditional with little motifs. The tube is sort of a mint green color with a flip top. The cap is sturdy and doesn’t leak whatsoever. You can easily manage how much product you want out of the tube.

The face wash is of a gel consistency but a little runnier than that. The product has a transparent base with a light greenish tint to it. I wonder if the smell is an authentic tea tree oil fragrance as I can sense faint kerosene like smell. I don’t know if something is wrong with my nose, but that is what I feel. Nevertheless I don’t find it bothering.

The face wash lathers well and removes all dirt, grime and oil from my face. A small coin sized amount is enough to clean your face and neck. Because of this reason, one tube is sure to last for months and this makes it economical too. It takes me a few more splashes as I feel a slippery film stays behind. But after patting my face dry it doesn’t feel the same. My skin is squeaky clean but not dried out. It stays oil free and shine free for about 3-4 hours.

Now with regards to the main purpose of the product, it ‘does’ keep my pimples and acne at bay. I used to have tiny little pimple here and there, but now it is a case of the past. Looks like the tea tree extracts are working out. Another ingredient which is salicylic acid is effective in clearing pimples. You need to be regular with the usage to notice a big difference. No product can do wonders in a day or two.

Why I like this Face Wash?:

Makes skin squeaky clean
Removes oil and dirt completely
Doesn’t cause dry patches
Contains salicylic acid, tea tree and turmeric extracts
Controls pimples with regular use
Doesn’t irritate the skin
One tube goes a long way
Travel friendly

Why I don’t like this Face Wash?

Fragrance might not be very appealing

MABH Rating: 4.75/5

Final word:

The face wash stands true to its claims. A great plus is the presence of natural ingredients in it. If you have combination to oily skin and you want a face wash to take care of your pimples, this one could be your best friend.

Patanjali Saundarya Face Wash Review

20 Replies

Hello everyone!

Patanjali is a well known herbal brand. In my hunt of sls free face wash or cleanser I came upon this one after reading few reviews on it. It started giving me nightmares though. Please read further.

Price and Quantity:

Rs. 60 for 60 gm

My Take:

This face pack comes in a boring white plastic tube with a flip top cap. It’s not at all attractive. The cap is really fit. That’s a good and a bad thing because no leaks and travel friendly but it broke my nails twice. The opening is small so no need for excess amount headaches. It fits easily in a small purse.

The fragrance is mild and citrusy. It doesn’t linger after washing so easy on sensitive noses as well.
This cleanser has the consistency of a cream and quite thick. You need good force to get it out of the tube. It is soft and creamy and spreads really well and lathers a lot. A tiny pea sized amount is enough to cover up face so the bottle lasts really long. It washes away without any slippery feel and gives a great glow to your face like you have just used a face pack.

This face wash very good in removing dirt and oil. It removes makeup easily as well and doesn’t clog pores. It kind of made my skin dry but nothing a moisturizer can’t handle. Dry skinned people may find it a lot drying. After some time though, I started sweating a lot and my face looked as if I used some spray or something. Even though sls is not good, I don’t like the sound of neutral detergents. They are used in dishwashers so I am scared at how much my skin can bear. Sensitive people please stay away from this one. I heard two of my friends who have oily skin raving a lot about this so I think you can give it a try.

Why I like?:

Good herbal brand
Nice non lingering fragrance
Removes dirt and oil
No slippery feeling
Made out of so many good ingredients
Gives an amazing face pack glow
Dead cheap

Why I don’t like?:

Cap is an enemy to nails. (Arshita please take care of your beautiful nails if you are using this 🙂 we need more nail arts from you)
Dries out skin a bit
Face sweats like hell after sometime. I don’t know how much oil it can control since I don’t have any such problems
Neutral detergent haunts me
Availability

Rating: 3 /5

Do I Recommend?:

Yes! Surely for people with oily skin and combination skin maybe. Give it a try.

Would I Repurchase?:

Nope. My nightmares with neutral detergents need to stop. I already switched to pears and I love it. My mom has oily skin too and found it okay. She is 46 so i suggested stopping it since drying skin leads to more wrinkles.

Joy Skin Fruits Purifying Face Wash Review

17 Replies

Hello beauties,

Today, I am going to review a face wash from Joy Naturals. I usually stick to my Clean & Clear face wash and avoid experimenting new face washes. But when I saw Joy face wash which claims pimple control and orange flavor, I am sold. Let’s move on to the review.

Quantity & Price:

Rs.70 for 100ml (+20 ml)

My Take

This face wash is an orange colored upside down tube package with white flip cap. It also spill proof package.

It is a transparent gel with tiny orange scrub like particles. It is a thick face wash and smells lovely orange.
I loved the package though it is quite simple orange tube. The face wash is slightly thick but doesn’t leave slippery feeling after wash. The tiny particles which partly act as scrub. My face didn’t feel dry after face wash.

It controls oil for 2-3 hours Wow! Doesn’t it sounds great till now? But, wait!! It was good for initial days but after a week my skin was rough and dry. I applied moisturizer to restore softness. It claims pimple control but it is an absolute failure. I didn’t face any skin break out. It has no effect on blemishes too.

It is quite good to attract the consumer by certain features like promises from gorgeous brand ambassador Anushka Sharma, cute package, fragrance but failed as best cleanser. It is an average one.
