I know this product has been there in the market since quite long and it wasn't a buy either. I got it free with the lactocalamine bottle. Initially, to be frank, I wasn't interested in using it and was wondering "will I get one with every lactocalamine, yikes!!!" Anyway, let's get on with the review and let's see if I really would mind getting it even for free :)
Price: Rs 65 for 70ml
Ingredients
Pros
- it feels really cool when you wash your face, the best part
Cons
- it has SLES
- doesn't really control oil for long time
- doesn't really control oil for long time
My Experience
The gel is light purple in color and smells awfully like a bubblegum!!! I don't really like the smell but its not exactly offending. Whenever I apply the face wash, there is an immediate cooling effect like you have applied menthol or something on the face. That's what made me write this review :) Definitely a very useful thing in hot summers :D Right??? It has menthol and raspberry extract too which is pretty interesting.
It does make my skin feel a little dry after the wash but then, it is meant for oily skin and mine is a little quirky kind which oscillates between dry and oily. So, wouldn't really blame the face wash and even then, it doesn't leave my skin stretched or anything. I can easily grab a light moisturiser and I am good to go. But, the biggest thing is that it doesn't help me with the oil on my nose and chin :( They get oily in an hour or two after washing my face.
Have you used this face wash? What do you like or hate about it?

I don't really know how to react to this Fatima :D I'm laughing so hard!!! actually, I was topying with the same idea since a few weeks and frankly, I am completely double-minded about it :D I just wanna do this when I feel comfortable and that's not exactly happening right now :(
Deletewhat's ur mail id??? that sounds better :D
yeah, I do try to be careful but you know doing the thing on hot plate and in a small bowl and frying chips with a teaspoon :D so, it was bound to happen!!! I put lavender on it and there was no burning after that!!! now, only the burn mark is left. and, it will go in a week, hopefully!!! though, I don't really mind that, it reminds me of my hard work :D :D
will remember the toothpaste tip for next time :)
