Garnier Pure Active Pore unclogging wash {Product Review}

· · 9 Comments

So, just on the weekend I revealed that I absolutely love this particular product. Little did I know that I had almost run out of the product so I would anyway be doing the product review within 3 days! Anyways, as I said earlier this is amazing for oily and acne-prone skin though I am not really sure about the dry skin. 

Let me start with the packaging. Hate it! First, the product just comes out as soon as you unscrew the cap. Also, you get more than enough of the product because of which you tend to overuse it and run out of the facewash early. It lasted just 15-18 days with two uses per day. Also, if it came with a flip top cap, it would have been easy to open it in the shower otherwise the tube feels a little slippery in water. 
Pros
feels cool on skin
removes blackheads completely
helps to avoid breakouts
Now, let me come to the good. It is a light blue tinged in color and foams really well. Well, it does have SLS 🙁 Anyways, it feels so so cool on your face after applying as if you have poured a lot of menthol on the face. Damn awesome in summers specially. Might not be a really great feel in winters, though 😀
Now, it has salicylic acid so yes the blackheads are all GONE! First product which actually works on blackheads and I do think it works on breakouts as well because I did have a few bumps thanks to my skin-picking habit which did not dwell for more than 24 hours. It definitely helps in prevention if not cure. 
Cons
bad packaging! 
might dry out the dry skin
might not be great in winters
What else do I like about the product? Ummm…I pretty much mentioned everything. Yeah, one more thing is this might not be a great product for winters. Otherwise, yes, I would suggest it to every oily, combi and acne-prone skin.
Price: Rs 79 for 50gms

Availability
This facewash is pretty much available in all supermarkets and general stores. I got it from myntra, though. 
PS: Product was bought against a voucher in return for a product review for the website.

Organic Surge Daily Care Facewash {Product Review}

Guest Post by Roshni

A big thanks to Swati for letting me do a guest post 🙂 Hope you all like it! [Me: I should be thankful to you, Rosh, instead!]
After my Dove Beauty Moisture face wash got over, I decided to order the Organic Surge Daily Care face wash since I had read a lot about it. The one tempting factor of this face wash was the rose geranium oil which is one of the ingredients of the face wash. I love anything that smells of or contains roses and so I had to give this face wash a try!
Price: Rs 660 (Got it for INR528 from medplusbeauty.com)
Quantity: 200ml
Ingredients

My Experience
I will start off by saying I have become a big fan of this face wash! And this is not only due to the rose smell 😉 The face wash has all natural ingredients with no SLES or parabens. I find this to be another big attraction. It of course smells like roses – more like a gulkand smell. This is very refreshing. 
The face wash is not very runny nor creamy. It is a golden yellow in colour and lathers very well. I take a pea sized amount in my wet palm, rub it between my hands to generate lather, and then apply it to my face and neck. I then rub it gently and in a circular motion over my face and neck and wash it off.
My skin feels squeaky clean but not dry. It feels hydrated and soft. Also, my face tends to get small boils on the cheek bones and near the nose every few days if I don’t apply an antibacterial cream every 2-3 days. But since I have started using this face wash, the appearance of the boils has reduced and I do not need to use the antibacterial cream for many days at a time. So I am completely overjoyed!

Pros
• A small amount works a lot. This face wash will easily last me 6 months, I guess. I got it in April and little more than half is still left and that is with my husband using it half the time!!
• The rose smell! – even people who do not like rose smell or have a sensitive nose can use this cause the smell does not linger.
• Makes my skin squeaky clean without drying it.
• Reduces the appearance of boils.
• Comes in a pump dispenser bottle with a cap on top. So very easy to get the face wash out and also travel friendly.
• Contains natural ingredients which are definitely proving very good for my skin.
Cons
• Availability (only available online)
• Expensive? – I don’t think so cause it will last really long as I said above and is well worth the price!
So have you used this face wash? How do you like it?
Me: You have definitely sold me over the product, Rosh! Its on my list!
