Khadi Fresh Lemon Face Wash With Neem and Tulsi Review

by Arshita

Howdy friends! I love trying and searching new face washes and when it comes down to herbal products, I get it as soon as possible. So, I bought Khadi Fresh Lemon (with Neem and Tulsi) Face Wash last year and I will review it for you today. Here are the details.

Claims of the Face Wash:

An Aloe vera and Tulsi with Glycerine based face wash which cleanses the skin and gives nourishment to the skin. Ideal preparation for face wash.

Price and quantity:

Rs. 60 for 100 ml, Rs. 120 for 210 ml.

Key Ingredients:

(In each 1000 ml contains) Citrus Lemon 1g, Citraus Reticulate Blanco 3g, Ocimum Sanctum 3g, Aloe vera 10ml, Glycerine 5ml. SLES 350ml., Preservative 3.5g, Purified water to make 1000ml.

Usage Directions:

Rub into wet face and hand, massage well and wash off.

Shelf life:

24 months.

My Take on Khadi Fresh Lemon Face Wash:

Khadi Fresh Lemon (with Neem and Tulsi) Face Wash comes in a slim transparent bottle with a flip top cap. The bottle is quite sturdy but the cap is not. I broke the flip within a few days 😛

It is a thick transparent yellow color gel. The weird thing about this face wash is it smells like detergent powder (Really!) It lathers well and only a small amount is enough. It cleans well, but leaves a slippery effect that won’t go ever (even after 15-20 splashes and rubbing). It makes my skin dry after washing, and I feel an urge to apply moisturizer right after it. I have not seen any good effect after using this face wash, other than washing my face. But the gel itself gives me the feel that how much chemicals are infused in it; also it contains SLES and Preservative.

I have used many face washes right from Lakme Fruit Blast to Ponds Activated Carbon Face Wash to Clean & Clear Face Wash, but honestly, had not experienced this bad! I have used it only for a few days until I bought a different face wash. And ever since I am using it as my pedicure wash. Khadi is one of my favorite herbal brands; I loved Khadi Triphala hair oil, Khadi Kesar Peeling Srcub Gel, Khadi Jasmine Massage Oil, but it breaks my heart when I see products like this. Overall, it’s a total waste of money while doing harm (SLES and preservatives) to my facial skin.

Why I like this Face Wash?:

Cleans my skin.

Why I don’t like this Face Wash?:

Contains SLES, preservatives.
Smells like detergent powder.
Leaves a slippery effect.
Dries out my skin.
Not an herbal product.
Does not rinse off easily.

MABH Rating: 0.5/5. (Can be used in a crisis)

Do I Recommend?:

No.

Would I Repurchase?:

No!

Lotus Herbals Tea Tree Anti Acne Oil Control Face Wash Review

Good day amigos!
I am today reviewing Lotus Tea Tree & Cinnamon Anti-Acne Oil Control Face Wash. I have never used Lotus face washes, its name got me interested and I thought of giving it a try. So, moving on to the review, here are the details.

Claims:

Lotus Tea Tree & Cinnamon Anti-Acne Oil Control Face Wash is specially formulated for acne-prone and oily-skin. This oil-control anti acne face wash contains Tea Tree oil, Cinnamon and Oak Bark extracts which removes excessive oils while regulating the sebum (oil) production in the skin. These special ingredients in this premium face wash decrease acne-type lesions and combat free radicals leaving the skin fresh, clean and clearer.

Price and quantity:

Rs. 75 for 50 g, Rs. 125 for 80 g.

Key Ingredients:

Tea tree and cinnamon extracts

Usage Directions:

Squeeze a small amount on wet palm of your hand. Apply on wet face with circular motions. Wash off. Use regularly mornings & evenings and follow with Lotus Herbals ACNE GEL for best result.

Shelf life:

3 years.

My Take on Lotus Herbals Tea Tree Face Wash:

Lotus Tea Tree & Cinnamon Anti Acne Oil Control Face Wash is a liquid gel, full with tiny white beads and it comes in a tube with flip top cap. The smell is ridiculously weird; it reminds me of some toothpaste or cough syrup from my childhood (maybe the smell of tea tree and peppermint oil). Anyways, the gel is not so thick, quite runny. That’s why I have to be very careful whenever I pour it on my hand.

A small amount of it will lather pretty well and the beads are also very mild. What really makes this face wash so-so for me is it leaves a slippery effect after rinsing. It takes more than 15 splashes and rubbing off to get the slippery effect out, and yet after that I feel I should wash more.

It cleans the skin very well, once rinsed and pat-dried, I see the squeaky clean skin. Now about controlling oil, it works hardly 4-5 hours (which I feel is quite fine) in summer days. It does not leave my skin dry either (I have normal skin with T-zone oily). It keeps my facial skin well moisturized and at the same time controls oil.

The other good thing about this face wash is it gives a fresh feel after washing off. But, as the product claims about acne, I did not feel any difference or improvements to note down. So, overall it is a so-so face wash for me, because it has too many cons that I cannot overlook.

Why I like this Face Wash?:

Cleans well.
Keeps skin moisture.
Controls oil for some hours.
Good packaging.
Fells refreshing afterwards.
Affordable price.
Travel friendly.

Why I don’t like this Face Wash?:

Contains SLES, Paraben.
Leaves a slippery effect.
Smells weird.
Does nothing for acne.

MABH Rating: 2.8/5.

Do I Recommend?:

Yes, it is a quite good face wash (If you are ready to bear the cons).

Would I Repurchase?:

No. I will search for a better one.

Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Exfoliating Face Wash Review

Hey friends! I will review Garnier Pure Exfoliating Face Wash (Eucalyptus Leaf Extract) for combination to oily skin now. Yes, I have combination skin with T-zone oily. Now, let’s see the product details.

Claims of the Face Wash:

Garnier Pure Exfoliating Face Wash (Eucalyptus Leaf Extract) is an effective face wash for combination to oily skin that helps to remove excess oil and imperfections and helps to prevent them from re-appearing.
It’s a unique formula blends an alcohol –free gel with active ingredients. Micro-particles exfoliate the dead skin cells. A deep cleansing agent purifies pores and help to prevent imperfection.

Price and quantity:

Rs. 68 for 50 ml.

Key Ingredients:

Eucalyptus Leaf Extract

Usage Directions:

Apply on wet face. Gently massage in with fingertips concentrating on the forehead, nose and chin avoiding the eye contour. Rinse thoroughly. Use once a day. Follow up with Garnier Skin Naturals Daily Care Moisturising Lotion.

Shelf life:

36 Months.

My Take on Garnier Pure Exfoliating Face Wash:

I never stop buying face washes from different brands, and Garnier Pure Exfoliating Face Wash with Eucalyptus Leaf Extract also falls prey of my experimental nature. Anyways, this face wash comes in a white short tube with a screw cap. It smells really weird, like how leaves smell. The face wash is transparent liquid gel with blue tiny granules.

It lathers very well, only small amount is required for every wash. It also rinses off very easily and leaves a little bit of slippery effect which goes off after 4-5 splashes (win-win!). The tiny blue granules are very mild which helps in mild exfoliating. It cleans skin pretty well. And the good part is it does not dry my skin out. My skin feels perfectly moisturized and yet very fresh. The oil control effect stays about 4 hours.

I have never used any Garnier products before; I was not sure about this face wash also. But I needed to try and search for my HG face wash, so I bought it. Unfortunately it fails to be my HG face wash, even though it works great for me, I cannot overlook the cons.
