Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Active Neem Face Wash Review

by Arpita

Today, I am going to throw some light on Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Active Neem Face Wash. I recently bought it, used once and I am planning not to use it ever again. Read on to know why..

Price:

Rs.49 for 50g (Thank God I bought the smaller version)

How to Use?:

Take an adequate amount of this face wash and apply it on your face.
Gently massage and create lather.
Rinse well.

My Take:

Packaging and Consistency: This face wash comes in a typical Garnier plastic tube with a screw cap. The consistency of this face wash is quite runny with a green gel like texture.

Before you start reading this section, let me tell you something about my skin type. I have oily (read very oily) skin which is pimple prone and is extremely sensitive. If something does not suit me, it immediately shows up on my face as pimples. 2 days before planning to try this product on my face, I ate healthy stuff namely apples, green veggies and drank lots of water to make sure that I can review this product accurately. My skin was completely fine and my face was glowing. I used this face wash at night and went to bed. Next day, I woke up and saw three BIG pimples on my face – 2 on both eyebrows and one on the cheek. I felt angry and I have thus found that it will not suit sensitive skin.

However, my daughter and hubby like it a lot. My hubby has oily skin too (same pinch to me lol) which tends to attract a lot of dirt. He says that it worked fabulously for him and it makes his face super clean and removes all oil and dirt. My hubby does not have sensitive skin.

PROS:

Packaging
Color and gel-like texture of the product, which is appealing to the eyes
Makes the skin squeaky clean
Removes all oil and dirt
Fragrance is nice
Contains Salicylic acid and Neem
Available in different sizes
A very small amount is needed for that perfect lather

CONS:

Breaks me out
A bit difficult to wash it off
SLS

Final Verdict:

If you do not have sensitive skin like me, then it may suit you. I think it was my fault that I tried it because it has been mentioned nowhere on the pack that it will suit very sensitive skin. However, it suited my hubby perfectly.

MABH Rating: 3/5 (-2 for breaking me out)

P.S: Have you tried this face wash? I am just curious to know if any Garnier products have ever suited you! Please do let me know in the comments below.. I do not know why every Garnier product I have tried breaks me out! SO strange 😛

VLCC Skin Defense Wild Turmeric Face Wash Review

7 Replies

Hello Everyone!

Today I am going to review the Turmeric Face Wash from VLCC brand.

Price & Quantity:

Rs.125 for 100 ml

Key Ingredients:

Honey & Turmeric

How to Use?:

Apply a small amount of the cleanser on moist face and neck. Massage gently with fingertips & rinse thoroughly. Can be used round the year.

Shelf Life:

3 years

My Experience:

Packaging: The face wash comes in a plastic bottle with a screw cap. The cap is open able with a flip cap too. The bottle is not transparent, and hence it does not show up hoe much of the product is left over. The quality of the package material is very strong and sturdy. Some times I have come across bottle that just breaks or cracks off with just a few handlings of the flip cap.

Color, Consistency and Fragrance: This face wash has a yellow tinge in color. It is a thin gel like liquid in its consistency. It is a runny face wash. And fragrance seems strong to my senses.

How it works: The face wash lathers very well. It helps remove the sweaty dirt from the skin; leaves the skin fresh and relived.
But there is one major draw back. It is definitely not suitable for dry skin and even normal skin. For me, during summers, skin gets back to some what normal. Yet after using this face wash my skin feels stretchy and then it even begins to itch. If I follow with moisturizers during summer, I begin to sweat uncontrollably. Using this face wash during winters is absolutely out of control.

People with oily skin will be able to use this product without any trouble. I feel this will help acne prone skin to a great extent. But the package details say ‘all skin types’. This is very misleading.

PROS:

Suits oily skin very much.
Will help acnes and pimples.
Leaves skin squeaky clean.
Sturdy package.
Screw cap along with a flip cap too

CONS:

Not suitable for normal and dry skin.
Leaves skin dry and stretchy (for skin other than oily types)

Rating: 3/5

My Recommendation:

Oily skin people can try this product.

Would I Repurchase?:

No. It is not helping my skin at all. It leaves my skin dry after wash which means the product is stripping off all the oil from my skin.

Ponds White Beauty Spot Less Lightening Facial Foam Review

by Eleena

Hi All!
I’m probably the last person on Earth to review this product! I love trying out different face washes but I always end up coming back to this one. So here are my views on Pond’s white beauty daily spot-less lightening facial foam.

Claims of Ponds White Beauty Lightening Facial Foam:

Daily spot-less lightening facial foam cleanses deeply for glowing and brighter skin. The foam’s unique formula reduces dullness and brightens skin, while washing away old weary, sallow skin cells.

Price & Quantity:

Rs. 59 for 50 gms.

Shelf Life:

Use before 24 months from mfg date.

How to Use Ponds Lightening Face Wash?:

Wet your face. Apply to face and neck and gently massage. Rinse off.

My Experience with Ponds White Beauty Lightening Facial Foam:

The product comes in a travel friendly cream and pink coloured tube with a flip-top cap. The face wash is white in colour and creamy in texture. It has a pleasant smell which lingers on for some time after washing off.

A pea-sized amount is enough for the entire face and neck as it lathers very well. I prefer to lather it up on my palm and then apply on wet face and neck.

This face wash really cleanses the skin. I can feel it. It effectively removes all dirt and make up giving you a slightly brighter complexion for some time. This face wash never broke me out. Regular usage also helps in reducing tan to some extent. It is true to its claims of spot lightening. I had a few dark spots and a month’s usage has cleared them already. This face wash also claims washing away old skin cells, so that’s good in a way. Since I am oily skinned I can use it throughout the year. During the cold season the skin feels slightly dry after using this one. But a moisturizer solves this problem. Otherwise during summer it doesn’t dry out the skin.

My skin turns oily in under two hours after using this face wash. (I’ve noticed this when I’m at home. If I have to go out then this face wash + oil control toner + matte sunscreen + oil free foundation + oil control talc, keeps my skin oil free for around 5 hours). You cannot expect this product to control oil for long. VLCC Anti Tan Skin Lightening Face Wash is better than this one in terms of oil control.

This pond’s face wash is ideal for those having very oily skin. It will dry out even combination skin. So normal, combination, dry skinned people stay away from this one.
