Vichy Purete Thermale Face Wash Product Review

Swathy · January 4, 2016 · Leave a Comment

This new year I decided that I would not let even a single day pass off without doing anything significant. And, here we are already six days in the new year. You would have already noticed that I am posting everyday for the last two weeks. And, I am trying my level best to keep it up. The aim is to post every weekday for this year.

And, as I mentioned in my skin care diary yesterday, I do have loads of products which I am eager to review. I picked up Vichy for the first time while looking for the face wash sometime in July last year. And, I am glad I picked up the brand otherwise I would have missed out on a few really good products. I do have a list to try out from this brand already 🙂

So, let us check out what I think about this product.

Vichy Purete Thermale Face Wash Product Review

This is quite an interesting product to begin with. The face wash is all liquid inside the transparent bottle which is fitted with a pump. And, when you press the pump to dispense it, what you get is foam. One pump gives enough foam to cover the face. I use two pumps for my face, neck and decolletage. I did love this concept.

Just in case you are wondering, this product does have SLS. The smaller packaging which was the one I got is easy to carry around but not very travel-friendly. If you wish to carry it, it is best to reconsider some other face wash.

I know you are getting bombarded with a load of product reviews since last week.Please bear with me since my shelf is fulllllll of soooo many of them and most of them I have totally loved!! So, today, I have this extremely expensive cleanser which gets finished in just half a month, especially if you use it like I do. But, I found it amazing for my skin. Why? Read further and you will have the answers. In the meantime, do recommend any of your favourite cleansers as well!!

I did mention that I have started using sunscreen again and as much as I love using oil to remove my sunscreen, I do like to use cleansers sometimes. The latest in cleansers is the balms which seem quite interesting and I am quite interested in trying out the one from Clinique. May be in a few months! While searching for suitable cleansers, I came across this one from Neutrogena. I have managed to empty the bottle in just 15 days which is why I said it is expensive. So, let me elaborate on why I like the product.

If you are a regular reader on the blog, you would know that I am a die-hard fan of Garnier Pore Unclogging face wash even though it has SLS. On my last trip to the supermarket, I was searching for another face wash which my skin would love and I picked up this Pure Active Neem one thinking it would be just the same and more over it was in a buy 2 get 1 offer. Bad idea to buy things for the first time in such offers!!

Anyways, needless to say the product disappointed me a lot. Why? Let us check out.
