This post is more of a recommendation than a review.
I don’t have a HG face wash so I do keep experimenting and if someone asks me to recommend some, I would say Episoft cleanser which I have used and have discontinued using coz of its cost and availability issues but it is really good and better than Cetaphil actually and I am speaking for this coz I have used both of them and have seen the difference. So, in case you are in search of a good face wash, you can try it out.
Regarding the cost, both cetaphil and Episoft cost the same.
The cleanser is really light weight and non-greasy and leaves the skin just as it is (not dry or oil but clean). I have compared their ingredient lists too and did find that the Episoft ingredient list was better and gentler. And, comparing the cleansers, Episoft is gentler. I have used some 2-3 bottles of this cleanser on and off where as I have used Cetaphil only once and never went back to it.
Regarding the availability, you can ask for it at Apollo pharmacy and they will definitely get it for you in case you do not get it at other drug stores. They might or might not have stocked it so that it a hitch in being regular with this cleanser.
One more thing I would add is that I had this cleanser prescribed by a dermatologist whom I didn’t much like and she had prescribed this one for my dry skin problem on my hands which had developed weird dry patches. When I used this cleanser over those patches, the condition normalized gradually in sometime so I can safely say that it is a damn good cleanser for people with such issues.
have never heard..sounds nice..
yeah Bhumika….its definitely worth trying 🙂

have any option for it?? or should i change it, n do u know any other product for oily n dark skin,
hey Abhishek. well, i would say that your skin has become a little healthy so it has stopped showing any difference. sorry, i can’t recommend any product per se. but, if you want, you can try out this facewash but remember it has salicylic acid so don’t overuse it:

same here 🙂
Is this oil control one? Because I have oil Skin face.
Is this gives lightening to skin?
I am using the episoft but there is no reaction on my face my face has dark patch and its oily face
hi. episoft is just a cleanser for sensitive skin. it is not supposed to get rid of dark patches or any other skin problem. it is just a mild cleanser which avoids reaction on the skin due to harmful face washes.
for oily skin and dark patches, apply tomato juice every night after washing the face, let it dry for 5-10 min and wash off. follow with a moisturizer.
i am use 3 days (it use day 4-5 ) & my skin too oily . it too use for skin damag
Hi,

Thanks in advance!

hi Sakshi. no, there is no side-effect!

Melaglow is a secondary for hyperpigmentation… How about Skin bless… Search for it…. It might help..

Hi\
I have open pores and acne on my face. I am using episoft from last one month. But I am not satisfied with the use. Please suggest me something for open pores.
hi Rupali. no face wash can heal your acne or pore size. try this facewash to control oil instead:

It doesn’t giving any lather also
hi Pranay. yes, it does not lather. it is medicated and supposed to be gentle but it is weird that you are facing reactions. guess it does not suit every skin!!

Hi swati,

Hi Swati,
i have pores in my cheeks for past six months.
Will this face wash cure my problem?
Is this oil control one? Because I have a oil Skin face and is this skin lightening one?
Please tell me..
no, it does not do either.
I am using episoft for a month but in middle i use soap only once.. After that continued to using episoft… But i got big big pimples now even using episoft.. will it get cure or not?
hi Sangeetha. the pimples are not due to soap usage or episoft. also, if you travel or stay outside a lot, episoft itself is not enough to cleanse your skin. it is too gentle to remove excessive dirt. you must definitely look into your diet, period cycle, PMS dates and other issues to see what could be causing pimples. also, try switching face wash to something more deep cleansing. I can suggest fair and lovely pollution face wash if budget is a constraint or something from neutrogena brand depending on your skin type.
Hi Swati Mam, I m suffering from skin problem due to change of cream I met dermatologist she gave me epicsoft and many other creams which spoilt my face more I m getting dark spots and dark circles which makes my face look dull and black. Suggest me please how to get rid of this problem and get back my old skin
Hi am Tanu i am also using episoft (prescribed by doctor). i am using it for 4-5 months its rally good. i have combination skin and now my skin feels very smooth and glowing. also using melaglow for pigmentation at night time. next day apply sunscreen lotion which is must after melaglow and protect your skin from sunny rays. drink lot of water. cover your face during sunny days.
now m happy 🙂
wow, Tanu. sounds like an amazing routine! I am sure melaglow has lactic acid or some such thing which helps in clearing up pigmentation. you should check out this:
