17 Replies
Hey buddies! Sorry for MIA last week. I wasn’t feeling so good due to this bad weather change. I am here today with a face wash review which I promised to do before few days. And a good news is.. I got my digicam finally 😀 It’s canon powershot and I am loving it. Hereafter no more blackberry images 😛 Okay, lets move on to the review now. Don’t forget to tell me how my new cam clicks.
Mentholatum Acnes Creamy Wash

*It claims to do four main things
  • Cleansing
  • Anti-bacterial
  • Anti-Inflammation
  • Nourishing
Price and Quantity:
Rs. 70 for 50g
Shelf life: Not mentioned on the pack

Vitamin C and Vitamin E
My Experience with this Product
I picked this face wash from some online shopping site a couple of months ago. I do not use this face wash regularly, but still I use it now and then, almost often whenever I feel like seeing a zit on my facial skin. This acnes creamy face wash comes in a simple tube with a flip type cap. Due to the tube packaging, it becomes travel friendly. Of course, it is sturdy too. Nothing bad to find in the packaging thing.
It has a thick thick consistency and a very smooth texture. The face wash is pale white in colour as you see in the picture. I could smell some citrus ingredient in it and it has a strong medical smell too. Nothing to worry, the fragrance doesn’t linger on your skin at all.
Now lets discuss about how this product works. Does it really helps in preventing acne? I would say ‘yes’ it does. Being oily skin typed in sweaty summers, I felt this face wash good for acne prevention. Whenever I feel a pimple popping out, I rush and wash my face with this. ‘No pimple’ face is what I see next morning. This effectively removes excess oil, dirt and makeup residues from skin without stripping of the natural moisture. But not to the extent of skipping your moisturizer. The main goodness of this face wash is that it is paraben free. So, do you have oily to normal skin type? Don’t you bother about the medicinal smell? then go for this product, its quite good. I would never recommend it anytime to dry skin types.
PROS
  • Prevent pimples and calms down the excising ones
  • Makes skin clean and clear instantly, controls oil for a decent time
  • Doesn’t lather up very well,  but lathers enough for a clean face wash
  • Pocket friendly price
  • Contain Vitamin C and E, Don’t you know how good they are for your skin?
  • Sturdy, hygienic and travel friendly packaging
  • A single tube is going to last for months, due to its thick consistency
  • Easily spreadable and washes out easily from skin without the need of much water. 
  • Does cleanse out makeup residues well
  • Doesn’t cause any breakout or other such side effect
  • I didn’t experience any acne pop out while using this face wash
  • Paraben free 😀 Yay!!
CONS
  • The smell is not so good. It is a kinda medicinal with a slight citrus hint
  • Not for you if you are looking out for a rich lathering face wash
  • Is your skin dry? This is not the right choice then
Overall Rating: 4/5
My Recommendation: I recommend this face wash to everyone with oily to normal skin type. It really prevent acne and reduces the existing ones. Busy or Lazy persons will love this 😛 Didn’t I say that it gets washed off completely with single water splash?
Would I Repurchase?: Ya getting next week 🙂 My first tube got over. I am planning to keep this product always with me until I find a better one. Who knows the time these stupid pimples pop out?
Hope you find this review useful. So, which is your favorite acne preventing/clearing face wash girls?? Share below in comments.

Just Herbs Silksplash Neem-Orange Rehydrant Face Wash Review

9 Replies
After reviewing the Frugel FirmSkin Skin Radiance Gel before a couple of days, Now I am reviewing the Silksplash Neem-Orange Rehydrant Face Wash from Just Herbs. You would not need an introduction for Just herbs I guess, you all would have known about this brand. It is really a nice natural experience to try their products because of their lovely rich packaging and the claims.

Let us come to the product now. Don’t you feel luxurious of the name Silksplash? That too with Neem-Orange Ingredients? I was really tempted and have been using this face wash for about 2 weeks. Let us now check the product description followed by a detailed review.

Product Description: An ideal rehydrant foaming Ayurvedic cleanser with the natural goodness of neem, Chandan(sandal wood) and honey which gently removes the last traces of dust, grime and make-up residue, yet retaining the inherent moisture of the skin. While Sandal Wood is moisturising and anti-inflammatory, Calendula acts as natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent with sun radiation protective properties. Aloe Vera, Honey and Orange peel deeply moisturize leaving the skin with an amazing sense of freshness and a velvety sheen all day long. Regular use keeps the skin pores unclogged thus keeping blackheads and pimples at bay.

Just Herbs Silksplash Neem-Orange Face Wash

Price: Rs.245 for 100ml
Shelf Life: 2 years

Ingredients
Neem, Orange Peel, Aloe vera, Honey, Calendula Extract,Cucumber Extract, Chandan and Cleansing base.
My Experience with this Product
This face wash comes in a sturdy transperant bottle which looks amazing with a golden lid and a tiny pamphlet tied on the neck. The product description is written on the phamphet in a lovely way and I loved the idea of their packaging. All their products look so natural and pleasing to the eyes. I have no complaints about the packaging but I wished it be some squeeze type for a better control. This face wash is hygienic to travel and use as it comes in a bottle.
Being honey-sh in colour, this face wash has a runny consistency. I would say this is semi transparent, gel based honey with orange-sh colored face wash. I could really feel the smell of ingredients they mentioned. It delivers a natural smell of orange peels and honey which was so pleasing and refreshing while every wash. I am not sure about how sensitive noses feel as there are no artificial fragrances mixed in this, but the “All Natural” is my go always. To say about the lathering effect, it lathers pretty good. It lathers enough for a perfect wash, neither too less nor too foamy. It’s just a myth that only lathering products cleanse well, so get out of it. This face wash is a best example to break that myth.
It cleansed out my skin really well without leaving any slippery feel behind. My skin felt instantly smooth, soft and fresh after using this silksplash face wash. Being a normal to oily skinned person (In summers) this face wash works fine for me. My skin’s oil secretion was in control for a long time, on the other hand it doesn’t dry out my skin too. It removes all the dirt, grime and light makeup residue easily. A very small amount of face wash is enough for whole face and neck, so a single bottle will last longer. The magical part of this face wash is that, it reduced my acne bumps! Isn’t that really great? I was struggling to get rid of my acne for past one week and this does that job. I guess it’s all because of the magic of neem and orange. So finally, I am totally in love with this face wash, have no complaints. They do what they claim, but this is not recommended for extremely dry skins in winters as you need to go for some other creamy nourishing one. Just Herbs Silksplash Neem-Orange Face Wash makes a perfect daily refreshing face wash! Your pimples and blackheads won’t visit your skin of course.
PROS
  1. Read the ingredient list! All natural ingredients are present in one form here.
  2. Leaves my skin soft, fresh and smooth after every wash.
  3. Prevents excess oil secretion for a decent time. On the other hand, it doesn’t dry out skin too.
  4. It does the cleansing part well by removing dirt, oil and makeup residues.
  5. Spreads smoothly over the skin and gets washed off easily.
  6. I loved the natural fragrance. It’s not sweet or fruity, but natural.
  7. Sturdy and travel friendly packaging. Hygienic!
  8. Controls and reduces ACNE! Interesting! A boon to people who suffer from acne often.
  9. A perfect everyday face wash for oily and normal skin types. 
CONS
  1. I wished it to come in some squeeze or pump type for more easier usage. 
  2. This is not a con, I am just mentioning. This face wash is not for extremely dry skins in winters and sensitive noses may feel it a bit heavy. But I am sure, after every wash you will love it.
Nothing else! This is just a fabulous natural face wash which is worth every penny!

Overall Rating: 4.5/5
My Recommendation: This is a must try facial wash for oily and normal skin types. You will love it and stick to it because it is all natural and refreshing!
Will I Repurchase?: Why not? Every time I will. This controls and prevents my acne greatly leaving my skin soft and refreshed.

Face cleansers take an important place in our daily skincare regimen. Today, I am reviewing the Hydrating Cream Face Wash from Himalaya herbals brand. Previously I reviewed other products and this is the second last one left form Himalaya Herbals in my case. I have been using the fairness face pack too for a long time, the last one and I may be reviewing it some other time. I will be purchasing few more products from Himalaya (Yippee) and you can expect many more reviews from my favorite brand. Now lets move on to the product description and review.
Product Description: A soap free herbal formulation that gently cleanses and moisturizes. Unlike soap, it will not leave your face feeling dry and stretched. Cucumber cools and soothes, and Aloe vera tones and softens your skin. Use regularly for clean, fresh and glowing skin.

My Experience with this Product
I have been using this face wash cream for almost two months and I have a lot to say about it. It comes in a sturdy tube like every other Himalaya Herbals products come and is quite travel friendly. The packaging itself is simple and cute. Every squeeze is in your control too and hence overall, goodly packed.

 The consistency is some what in between thick and runny, it has a normal creamy texture. I have no complaints about the consistency part and the cream is milky white in colour too. Isn’t that cute? While coming to the fragrance part, its a bit okay-sh to be honest. The fragrance is not super sweet, floral or fruity. It has a kinda herbal with talc mixed smell which might be uncomfortable for sensitive noses. But don’t imagine any bad, it is gentle, nothing harsh  or overpowering.

 When I first used this face wash, I was disappointed because of the lathering part. Gosh! It doesn’t lather at all. A big squeeze gives a very little lather but then I realized it is a face wash “Cream”. Doesn’t it? Why should we run behind the myth that only lathering products cleanse? It is somewhat like a cleansing milk come cream that cleanses skin without leaving it dry. My skin felt instantly clean, smooth and I would say that it is perfect for everyday wash. Normal to dry and dry skinned people will love it as it doesn’t stretch skin by striping off excess moisture. About removing makeup, I am not sure. You may need to go for some other to cleanse heavy makeup. I have no complaints about this face wash as it does almost what it claims. It cleanses well, softens and doesn’t dry out skin. Give a try for sure, it comes in a dirt cheap price too!
PROS
  1. Leaves skin smooth, soft and clean.
  2. Doesn’t dry out skin. Retains moisture but not to the extent of skipping your moisturizer.
  3. Perfect every day face wash for normal and dry skin types.
  4. Comes in a dirt cheap price. Easy available too.
  5. Milk like creamy consistency spreads smoothly over face and gets washed off easily.
  6. No side effects such as breakouts and such.
  7. Travel friendly.
  8. Contains natural ingredients like Aloe and cucumber.
CONS
  1. If you are looking for a lathering face wash, then this wont be your pick. Remember, this cannot be taken as a con because this is a face wash “Cream” (They clearly stated) 
  2. Contain parabens. Every other product do so, nowadays.
  3. The fragrance can be improved. 

Overall Rating: 4.5/5
My Recommendation: I highly recommend this face wash cream to dry and normal to dry skin types. It cleanses and softens well even without lathering. Comes in an affordable price too, so give a try!
Will I Repurchase?: Of course I will. Being an oily skinned person, I somehow love this too, because of the softening effect.
