Plum Grape Seed & Sea Buckthorn Scrub Review

I still remember the day when I had first used a product from Plum (if you did miss that post, here is the clickable link for the same) and was instantaneously fallen in love with the brand. Infact I am myself surprised why did I delay reviewing more products from their product range. So better late than never, today I am writing about my experience on Plum's Grape Seed & Sea Buckthorn Scrub.

How to use?

Foam up and scrub gently on face and neck, twice a day. Pat dry with soft towel and follow with a toner and moisturizer.

My take on the product

The scrub comes in a soft-to-press tube packaging that has a flip-cap on the top. The cap is moderately tight to keep the liquid intact. This tube is housed in a cardboard carton in the same color theme as of the tube. And also enlists detailed description of the product usage, ingredients, price, quantity etc.

The scrub itself is a translucent liquid of runny texture that contains scarlet cellulose beads gentle enough for skin-friendly scrubbing. The beads are minute is size and are dispersed far away in the liquid so that there is no harsh scratches on skin post scrubbing. 

The brand recommends to use the scrub twice a day, but since mine is dry skin, I prefer using it once in a day in the morning only. I use almost a coin sized scrub to cleanse my entire face and find it enough per usage. The scrub produces mild foam and feels absolutely tender on skin. So I agree to the brand claims that it can be used on a daily basis for effective removal of dead cells from the skin. 

The scrub smells soothing and refreshing. The smell doesn't linger on for too long but you may sniff it for quite some time after usage. As the grape seeds possess anti-oxidant properties, the scrubs manages to fight well with signs of ageing and sun damage. 

I feel like touching my soft n supple skin after splashing some water on cleansed skin. I experienced no itching or irritation post scrubbing. It didn't cause any rashes on my face either. I followed the scrubbing with moisturizer for fine result.

Pros:

Exfoliates and polishes skin effectively.
Soap-free and SLS-free.
Removes dead skin cells.

Suitable for all skin types.
Contributes in battling with ageing and sun damage.
Enriched with healing capability due to antioxidants, vitamins and minerals

Smells Nice.

Parabean Free

Cons:

Actually nothing, but wish it could be Sulphate free as well.

Final Verdict:

True to its claims, Plum Grape Seed & Sea Buckthorn Scrub gives instantly brightened, polished appearance with a soft, supple after-feel. It won't harm even the sensitive skin while daily application. With prolonged use, it can be described as a complete protection against signs of ageing, pollutants and sun tan as well.

Eeshha Herbal Anti Acne Neem and Tea Tree Face Wash Review

Skin care regimen must always start with a perfect face cleanser.By 'perfect', I mean a cleanser that is formulated with the ingredients that work on specific skin problems and are categorized for various skin types. Because when we choose a product that is not meant for us and it doesn't match our expectations, its a conflicting situation.

Today I am taking time to tell you about my experience with Eeshha Herbal Anti Acne Neem and Tea Tree Face Wash.

Product Info:

Neem and Tea Tree face wash is suitable for oily skin, helps to cleanse and remove oil. Neem is effective in treating acne, providing soothing and emollient effect making skin healthy and glowing. Tea tree oil is used to give germicidal, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect.

Ingredients: Glycerin, Dimethicon, Polyquaternium, Alp sebum, Tea tree oil, Neem oil, Coco amido propyl betane, Decyl glycoside.

Price: Rs 135 for 100 ml.

Shelf Life: 3 years.

Usage Instructions:
Moisten your face and neck with water. Take appropriate amount of the face wash and apply all over face and neck with light circular movements using wet fingertips generating lather. Rinse well with plenty of water.

How did I like the product:

Eeshha Herbal Anti Acne Neem and Tea Tree Face Wash comes in a squeeze tube with a flip open cap. The cap is tight enough to avoid any leakage or spillage. 

The face wash looks on a brighter side of green color when looked from outside, but as you pour it on your palm its lighter greenish liquid of moderate consistency like most cleansers or face washes. I liked the dark green minute particles in the cleanser which dissolve immediately when you softly rub the facewash between your palms.

The fragrance of face wash has more prominent Neem essence than Tea Tree oil's. I liked the fragrance moderately. The smell doesn't last after you rinse your face. So even if you don't like it much, its not going to bother you. Only a pea-sized liquid foams sufficient to cleanse the face, so a 100 ml packing is expected to last more than a month. 

This face wash is meant for Oily Skin as mentioned on the pack, but I gave it a try on my dry skin after thinking few times to check on whether it has any ill effects on other skin types. So my experience says that this Neem and Tea Tree Face Wash causes no skin issues to other skin types than oily one. But I felt my facial skin drier after rinsing it off as if the required moisture is ripped off from the face which made me feel uneasy, so I had to follow it up with a moisturizer to soothe the skin. As far as the purpose of the facewash is concerned, I liked the effective dust removal. 

The ingredients of the face wash claim to treat acne. but since I have clear skin with no pimples/acne, I cannot practically support the product claim, however the ingredients like neem n tea tree provide anti-bacterial protection, so I can expect this product to work on the issue for those who are looking for a gentle cleanser to reduce acne.

Pros:

• Sturdy packaging.
• Easily available.
• Economic price.
• No ill effects on skin.
• Soothing fragrance.
• Lathers enough
• Removes dirt and deep cleanses the skin.
• Requires very less quantity per usage.

Cons:

Not an appropriate choice for drier skin type.

Eeshha Herbal Anti Acne Neem and Tea Tree Face Wash is a good product for oily skin that stands to battle acne. It didn't fare too well for my skin type, so I won't be repurchasing it for myself. But I am sincerely loving all the products that I have used from Eeshha Herbal product line in past, so would love to try other variants of face washes that would suit my skin.

Derma Green Skin whitening Cream Review

Hi

Few months ago, I reviewed a wonderful product from a beauty brand Herbal India (read the review here) and liked its effect on my skin. So I was more than interested to give some other products a chance from their product line. I was sent Derma Green Skin whitening Cream which is another variant of skin whitening creams that Herbal India sells. I have been using it for many days and today will share my review on it.

Product Claims: Derma Green Cream helps to get back your youthful skin with glowing healthy unimaginable glow.

• Protects from sun burn, tanning and reduces the overall production of Melanin.
• Tightens the skin and delays the formation of wrinkles.
• No black and white heads and helps to soften the Zits.
• No pimple and acne, reduces the inflammation and clear the pores.
• No undereye dark circles and it effectively clears the skin.
• No blemishes and pigmentation.
• No scars and it evens the skin tone.

Packaging: Derma Green Plus Herbal Whitening Cream is packaged in a maroon plastic tub pack with a sticker on its top lid having the product name on it. The plastic jar has a tight screw cap on the top and an inner white disc cap to keep the content safe in the packing.

Ingredients, Price and Qty:
The ingredients and price details are printed at the bottom of the packaging. The cream is infused with the goodness of natural ingredients like Emu Oil, Almond Oil, Aloe Vera, Lemon Grass, Red Sandal, Turmeric, Honey, Tulsi. The 30 gms content in the pack is sold at a price of Rs.2500 and shelf life of the pack is 24 months.

My take on the product:

The Derma Green is quite a thick textured cream in light mint color. The cream smells very nice mix of floral and spicy notes that actually is uplifting and will not cause irritation to sensitive noses. I personally liked it too. 

The brand instructs to apply this cream as an face mask that has to be left on skin overnight to bring out the optimal outcome. Following the instructions, I applied the cream on my face as well as the neck area which should always be considered as the extended facial area while applying any beauty enhancement products. This cream needs extra efforts to spread evenly on skin, might be due to its thick texture. The next morning, I washed the cream off with a mild cleanser. The instant effect of the cream is the soft skin with some youthful glow. As I followed the similar regimen for almost a month, I noticed considerable improvement in my skin tone. I don't claim that the whitening of skin means drastic change in complexion in few applications, but the long term effects would surely be worth noticing. 

The cream claims to reduce scar marks, acne and zits. But I am a victim of none of these, so cannot comment on the effectiveness of cream on these issues. Yes, the cream has lightened the tanning on my forehead and I am expecting the forehead skin to evenly mix with other parts of face with prolonged usage of this cream. 

Pros:

• Natural ingredients.
• Suits all skin types.
• Causes no burning or irritation.
• Smells Nice.
• Lightens the skin tone.
• Reduced the skin tanning.
• Safe and travel friendly packing.

Cons:

• Not Easily Available 
• Quite Expensive.

Final Word:

Derma Green Skin Whitening Cream is a herbal formulation to treat the skin by reducing dark spots and pigmentation, and leaving a radiant, even skin tone without any harmful effects. 

Vedantika Herbals Rose-Sandal face wash Review

Hi

Todays review is of a facewash that smells like fresh rose flowers. As I started using this facewash, I realized that I have not used any beauty product that has rose as ingredients since long. So lets move ahead towards the product detailing...

Product Details:
This mild cleanser comes from the finest botanical to wash away dirt and oil, leaving skin clean and fresh. The healing properties of Sandal wood oil repair skin and soothe irritation while steam distilled, pure essential rose oil improves blood circulation. making face softens and brightens the skin.

Key Ingredients -Rosa, Santalum Album, Crocus Sativus, Purified Water & Gel base Q.S. 

The product is enriched with herbal extracts of Rose Flower oil, Sandalwood Oil, Aloe Vera Gel, Rose Water.

*Rose Flower Oil - Treats dry and sensitive skin.

*Sandal Wood Oil - Draws out the excessive heat and keeps the skin cool.

*Aloe Vera Gel - Promotes cell growth and healing; extremely penetrates subcutaneous tissues and muscles for maintaining hydration.

Price: Rs 185 

Qty: 100 ml

Shelf Life: 2 yrs  

Availability : Can be bought from online stores like Flipkart, Snapdeal, Amazon.

Packaging:

The product comes in a transparent plastic Pump dispenser which makes it easy to eject drops of liquid facewash. The spray nozzle is covered with a plastic cap that shuts tightly and prevents leakage. 

My Experience:

The Vedantika Herbals Rose-Sandal face wash is a gel based cleanser in light pick color that seems almost colorless in first look. A little quantity as of a size of pea lathers sufficiently well so you may expect one bottle to last more than a month. 

The consistency of the cleanser is as thick as I expected from a gel based product. So when you press the dispeser, no extra or unwanted quantity oozes out in one go.

As per the usage instructions on the bottle, apply the cleanser on wet face and gently massage it in upward motions to generate lather and cleanse the skin. I loved the fragrance of rose mixed with a hint of sandalwood in it that makes a refreshing combination. 

On the application of this cleanser, the skin actually gets rid of excessive oil, dirt and other types of pollutants. I didn't experience any over dryness, tight  or stretchy feel on skin post application. It rinses off very easily without much effort to rub the skin. Few splashes of water on the face rinse the cleanser from skin.
People with normal skin type won't need to moisturize the skin after its usage. Because this face wash leaves the skin moderately hydrated and moisturized. But I have to moisturize my skin most of the times, since my skin is more on drier side. 

This cleanser not only removes impurities from skin, but also draws out the excessive heat and keeps the skin cool with its naturally effective ingredients.

Pros:

Natural Ingredients

Skin Safe

Mild Fragrance

Cost Effective

Lathers Well

Travel Friendly Packaging.

No harmful effect on skin.

Suitable for sensitive skin type too.

Cons:

Not readily available offline at supermarkets etc.

Overall I can say that Vedantika Herbals Rose-Sandal face wash works for skin, not against skin. It perfectly maintains the skin's balance without disturbing the need of natural oils within the skin.

Eeshha Herbal Skin Balancing Basil Astringent Toner Review

I would begin by saying I am quite careless to follow my CTM routine religiously. I mean, many a times I ignore one or the other of three constituents activities. Toning is what I skip most of the time and then it obviously shows on skin :(

Today, I am telling you my experience with a toner that has become my favourite in very few days of usage..I got Eeshha Herbal Skin Balancing Basil Astringent Toner as a part of my complete body care kit sent by Eeshha Herbal.

Product Info:

Eeshha Herbal Skin Balancing Basil Astringent Toner is specifically formulated to effectively reduce oil secretion and gently removes impurities, providing a cooling effect to the skin. It contains basil oil which has antibacterial properties that helps in keeping oil-free skin, controls acne and breakouts. It is a natural antiseptic which regulates oil secretions and perspiration and provide  hydrated toned and refreshed skin.

Packaging:

The toner is contained in clear see-through bottle. The bottle has a tight spill-proof flip open cap that avoids any chances of leakage of toner and makes it comfortable to carry even in your handbag.

Ingredients: Purified Water, Rose water distillate, honey, glycerin, date extract, cucumber extract, basil oil, menthol crystal, denatured alcohol. 

Price and Qty: Rs. 99 for 100 ml. 

Recommended for: Normal to Oily Skin.

How to apply: Apply gently with cotton pad on cleansed face and neck avoiding contact with eyes and mouth. Concentrate more on nose and chin areas.

My Experience with the product:

Even before application, what attracted me towards this toner initially was the Basil Oil as an active ingredient. Basil is being used for health and skin care since historic times and I personally use fresh Basil leaves in different ways. So noticing Basil Oil written on the bottle, I had high expectations from the product. The first sniff of the strong smell of the toner has been really discouraging for me. It actually didn't feel any pleasant. But like I sad, I like Basil based products, so I decided to use the product. The toner gave a sharp stingy feel on my skin and also irritated my skin in the first usage. I realized the toner on my cotton pad was in excess quantity, so taken a relatively less quantity for next usage. Ofcourse, the tingling sensation was still felt but was really tolerable. 

Though the toner is best recommended for Normal to Oily skin, but I absolutely had no issues on my dry facial skin after its application. The toner gently removed my makeup and traces of dirt n grime from my skin. The tired and puffy look on my face after day long work was promptly calmed. I was more than satisfied with the product effects because unlike most products, this toner didn't require me wearing a layer of moisturizer.

The toner efficiently restores and maintains the desired pH balance of the skin that is usually disturbed due to various factors. With consistent use of Eeshha Herbal Skin Balancing Basil Astringent Toner, the reduction in pore size and tightening of skin cells is effortlessly achieved that ultimately reduces the impurities to enter the skin.
The basil oil used in the toner makes it the best choice to treat skin irritation or skin infection, so I am going to keep the toner handy as an antiseptic specially for my child. 

Pros: 
Finest Ingredients.
Pocket friendly price.
Easy to carry.
Sturdy packaging.
Doesn't cause skin dryness. 
Anti-allergic, antiseptic properties.
Detoxifies the skin effectively.


Cons:
Strong Smell should be made milder.
Needs to be diluted to reduce sensation on skin.

Overall Opinion:
Eeshha Herbal Skin Balancing Basil Astringent Toner is a must-try skin toning product for handling most skin issues effectively.

Omved Moisturising Face Cleanser Review

The beauties who have cleansing as an integral part of  their beauty regime might be knowing how important is that to find a suitable face cleanser. For most of the cleansing jobs, the idea is to get clean skin as much as possible to avoid a face full of acne or looking like an oily slick. Our skin needs some oil so its really challenging to choose a cleanser that maintains the balance. In this post, I am going to review Omved Moisturising Face Cleanser. This is my first product from Omved's product line. So before I proceed towards the product, I would talk a li'l about the brand.

About Omved:
Omved is founded with a vision 'Pure Natural Living'. All their products and services have crafted with a deep concern to the environment and society. Strict environment friendly practices like saving energy, going paperfree and recycling make the company abide by a Green Company Policy :)

About the product:
Omved Moisturising Face Cleanser is 100% skin safe, pH balanced product tested for sensitivities and gentle enough for everyday usage. The natural plant botanicals deeply cleanse the skin without drying, lavender soothes and nourishes the skin.

Packaging:
The packaging is nothing showy and very decent pump bottle. The brownish color theme bottle is really attractive & distinctive than usual ones. The pump is covered with a transparent plastic cap which is very delicate. I don't expect it to last longer, nor does it makes a tight grip on the bottle. But the inner pump is made up of better material that is easy to handle as well. Very light pressure on the pump gives you sufficient for one time usage.

Recommended For: Normal to Dry Skin Types.

Price, Qty and Availability: The 100 ml content is priced at Rs 590. The shelf life of the product is 30 months. The product can be bought from online shopping portals like Flipkart, purplle, fashionara etc or at physical stores or their official website

Active Ingredients: DM water, caprylyl glucoside, aloe vera juice, glycerin, oils of clary sage, turmeric, juniper berry, lavender oil, sodium benzoate.

My take on the product:

I received a full sized bottle of Moisturising Face Cleanser from team Omved. The liquid in the bottle is pale brown in color and has somewhat runny consistency. As instructed, I applied the cleanser on my face and neck after few splashes of water. The liquid is of creamy texture and extremely soft foaming. On applying, it doesn't give soapy feel that I totally dislike. 

I truly liked the rejuvenating fragrance which is similar to most ayurved based products. The cleanser doesn't feel greasy on skin and cuts dirt and grime residing deeply in the skin. Rinsing off the cleanser is a job of fractions of seconds. I needed no effort for rubbing it off and it came out very easily with light strokes with water leaving the skin soft and refreshed completely.

Since day one of its usage, the cleanser has not caused me any burning, irritation or itching. It suits my dry skin very well and doesn't make it drier. I assume this cleanser will control the appearance of acne due to its ingredients, though I personally have not experienced it.

Pros:
Sturdy packaging.
Soothing herbal fragrance.
Causes no itching or irritation.
100% skin safe.
Free from parabens and synthetic colors.
Suited to all skin types.
Easy availability.

Cons:
Heavy on pocket.
I wish the grip and material of outer delicate cap is improved to make it travel friendly.

Overall Opinion:
Omved Moisturising Face Cleanser is a mild cleanser suited to all skin types including sensitive skin for day to day usage.It doesn't make the skin drier and doesn't further irritate already agitated skin. The ultimate result that you gain out of its regular usage twice a day is the hydrated & moisturized skin. If the prices are a bit slashed down to be more pocket friendly, this product promises you the best of skin care you expect from your skin-care rituals :)

Hope my review are informative to you!!

Derma Green Plus Herbal Whitening Cream Review

Hi
Today's post is focusing on a promising product to cure pigmented facial spots. Herbal India Products sent me their bestseller product Derma Green Plus Herbal Whitening Cream that is crafted to give visible whitening of the skin in just 21 days with regular usage.

About the Brand:
Herbal India Products is high-class beauty and wellness products distributor in India and abroad whose focus is to provide a broad range of high quality products comprising of health supplements and skin care products made from the pure and natural ingredients available. The company promises to deliver their products in any part of the world in tactful packaging in shortest possible time span.

About the Product:
Derma Green Plus Herbal Whitening Cream is packaged in a black crystal tub pack with a bright red sticker on its top lid having the product name on it.

The ingredients and price details are printed at the bottom of the packaging. The cream is infused with the goodness of natural ingredients like Emu Oil, Almond Oil, Aloe, Lemon Grass, Sandal, Turmeric, Honey, Mulberry and RoseHips. The 30 gms content in the pack is sold at a price of Rs.3000 and shelf life of each pack is 24 months during which the cream can be safely used.

How did I like the product:
The Derma Green Plus impressed me with its floral fragrance and minty green color in the first glimpse. The cream is of the consistency as thick as a face pack. Even if you flip the pack upside down by mistake, rest assure that the content won't spill off :)

The brand recommends to apply the Derma Green Plus Herbal Whitening Cream as an overnight leave-on face mask on the face. So I applied the cream all over my face as well as neck area, which is exposed to all kinds of environmental issues most of the time. It took me a bit of effort to spread the thick cream on my skin so that it properly penetrates the skin.

The next morning I swiped off the cream from my face using wet cotton. After following the similar practice for almost 20 days now, the cream has imparted a visible glow to my skin. I can notice the lightening of the sun damaged patches from my forehead, though the skin is not yet evenly merged with the rest of facial tone. I am expecting better outcome with continuous use.

The cream claims to delay ageing to a great extent due to its beneficial herbal ingredients. I have great faith in home remedies, and when a product is prepared keeping in mind the effectiveness of its constituents, its a blessing in disguise for busy bees like me. Just a layer of Derma Green Plus on my face every night can improve blood circulation and thereby render youthful skin.

In the ingredients list, I noticed an interesting skincare element i.e Emu Oil which is said to repair the skin by reducing wrinkles, scar marks, skin irritation, cuts/scrapes arising out of different reasons. Thankfully I have no scar marks on my face, so I am unable to comment on its effectiveness on the same, but I am very happy with the efficacy of Derma Green Plus that has treated pigmentation and brightened my overall complexion.

Pros:

1. Natural Ingredients.
2. Lovely Fragrance.
3. Effective on blemish n pigmentation.
4. Suitable for all skin types.
5. Causes no side effects.
6. Impressive packing with inner lid.
7. Whitens and brightens the complexion.

Cons:

1. Expensive (might be due to its pure ingredients.

Overall Opinion:
Derma Green Plus Herbal Whitening Cream fulfills its commitment by providing multiple benefits to facial skin. It penetrates deep into the skin and relieves from flaky, patchy, dehydrated skin. People looking for safe product to cure pigmentation must go for Derma Green Plus.

Fuschia's Arabian Jasmine Anti Ageing Night Cream Review

Hi Friends,

Remember I have been using some beautifully crafted skin / body care products from Fuschia and also gave my opinion on the same in some previous posts. As the year 2015 began, Fuschia surprised me with some thoughtful gifts with a lovely message. I had been reading about their planning to launch a new range of products, but didn't expect that I will be lucky enough to receive them before anyone else could order it ;) Lol. Fuschia launched five brand new products namely Exfoliating Body and Face Scrub, Day Cream with SPF15, Arabian Jasmine Anti-aging Night Cream, Strawberry Passion Lip Balm and Cherry Caramel Lip Balm. 

So here I reveal what I received in my pack from Fuschia ..

Out of these two products, I am reviewing the Arabian Jasmine Anti Ageing Cream today. 
Why to use a night cream?
Many of my friends think that if they are already using an effective day cream or moisturizing lotion onto their skin,  why do they need to apply a separate night cream? Frankly speaking, I also had the similar thinking long ago. But now I'm aware of the reality that a night cream applied before bed time is something that our skin needs to increase the skin renewal rate during our beauty sleep.

About Fuschia Arabian Jasmine Anti Ageing Night

Packing Specifications: 
The Fuschia Arabian Jasmine night cream comes in a transparent plastic tub with screw cap. The cap bears a sticker mentioning the product name and quantity on it. The product is accompanied with lil descriptive cards that elaborates what all has gone into making this cream. 

Ingredients:
Like all the products manufactured under the Fuschia's brand name are handmade and use natural ingredients. This night cream is also filled with the decency of 100% vegetarian

constituents like Jasmine Oil, Olive Oil, Kokum Butter, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, Sweet Almond Oil and  BioStine HP. 

The list of constituents includes all essential oils that help keeping the mature skin free from sagging with their distinct properties. The BioSTine HP is used to offer maximum moisturizing efficacy to skin.

Pricing & Qty:

The pack of 50 gms is priced at Rs 675/- which is suggested to be used safely within 30 months from the date of manufacturing.

My Experience

The moment I opened the cream pack, a stronger rejuvenated fragrance entered my nostrils that took me down the memory lane to my childhood days when I used to feel refreshing by the smell of white Jasmine flowers. It won't be a hype, if I call Jasmine as my most favourite flower and the jasmine fragrance as my favourite floral smell. So I was excited to try the Arabian Jasmine night cream that very moment :)

The cream is in pearly off-white color and is somewhat as light as of the consistency of whipped cream. Though I was damn sure that this night cream is safe to apply directly on face, still I did a patch test on my wrist to check for any irritation etc. Thank God! it didn't cause me any type of itching or discomfort on skin.

 As per the instructions to use the cream, I cleaned my face with a mild cleanser first of all and then applied the required quantity on my face and neck area. I needed to rub the cream gently for a while to allow its proper penetration into skin. The fragrance of Jasmine Oil worked wondrous for me as it with its calming effect while sleeping. 

The product claims to flush out the toxins accumulated in skin through out the day and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. I cannot exactly comment on the effectiveness of the cream on wrinkles bcz I have no wrinkles on my face as yet, but after a continuous use of almost two weeks I have experienced that it reverse dryness from my overly dry skin with its intensive moisture that lasts all night on my skin and improves overall skin texture. A few pleasing compliments n remarks from colleagues have confirmed the visible result on my face as the skin looks firmer & sufficiently rested.

• Sensitive noses might feel the fragrance overpowering. (But I truly loved it)

It synchs with your skin’s sleep cycle at the time when your skin is most receptive to beauty treatments. Apply the Fuschia Night Cream every night and wake up to skin that looks revitalized & restored to youth again :) I am determined to buy and use it regularly in future also.

Ethiglo Face Wash Review

Face wash is one of the most essential routine face care product for many of us. Since we tend to use it once or twice everyday, the quality of a facewash is worth a considerable point. I have used many facewashes for varied reasons...some suitable to my skin type, some have been picked in specific season of the year, some due to their effective ingredients and at times due to the available deals also ;) But its not always that I find a product so promising to repurchase or recommend.

Today's product that I'm reviewing is the Ethiglo Face Wash from Ethinext Pharma. 

Product Claims:
Ethiglo Creamy Skin Whitening Face Wash, with its deep cleansing & special actives helps to reduce blemishes and lightens skin tone. You would love to indulge yourself in creamy feel and foam of Ethiglo while its special formula with mili globules cleanses and works on improving your complexion and skin tone. Regular use of Ethiglo Creamy Skin Whitening Face Wash will help to achieve the skin complexion most people desire only.

 

Packed in a pearly white sleek tube, the Ethiglo Face Wash contains 70g. of creamy foam at a price of Rs. 220. The tube is encased in cardboard carton of the same color. The flip open cap of the tube is sealed with silver tape bearing the brand logo on it, that speaks out authenticity of the product. The shelf life of the face wash is 3 yrs.

Key Ingredients:

Kojic Acid, Vitamin C, Liquorice, Nicotinamide, Blend of AHA & BHA, Triclosan, Vit E, D-Penthenol. The Kojic Acid is used for mainly skin lightening and to treat hyper-pigmentation. It basically stops melanin production in the upper layers of our skin, resulting in a lighter looking skin. Licorice has a mild smoothening and brightening action and it is useful in treating dangerous skin diseases like eczema. 

How did I like Ethiglo Face Wash

Ethiglo face wash is a rich creamy formulation as the name suggests. The pearly white creamy solution shows minute crimson color granules. The face wash smells simply heavenly and the fragrance lingers on for quite some time. In single usage, the quantity of even less than a pea-size is sufficient for properly cleanse the face as it lathers very generously.

Just few splashes of water take off the face wash from your face unlike most soapy face washes that demand extra effort to rub off the skin. Ethiglo performs its 3-in-1 tasks really well as the pack reads. As I've been using the face wash since last 15+ days regularly twice a day, I got acknowledgement for glowing complexion from my friends and colleagues.

The active ingredients present in the Ethiglo face wash are much capable of battling with environmental toxins entering our skin due to exposure through out the day and washes away the impurities very gently.

The only post-application requirement for my skin type is a thin layer of moisturizer as usual, though beauties with normal to dry skin might not need it.

Pros:

• Lightens the skin tone.
• Suitable for most skin types.
• Smells very nice n refreshing.
• Needs very less quantity for one use.
• Creamy texture.
• Deeply cleanses the skin.

Cons:

• A bit higher on Price (but if I consider the single usage quantity, one tube would last more than a month. So the price can be justified.)
• People with sensitive noses might feel the smell a bit overpowering (but I loved it)
