I have been really excited about this product because of the carbon content in it and have been dying to try it out. And, of course, it wasn’t available in the stores for quite a long time so when I came across this unexpectedly in Spencers, I grabbed it up. So, lets check if it was really worth that excitement?
Price: Rs 75 for 50 gms

Packaging
It looks a cute and classy in its black packaging and draws attention. It has a flip top.
My Experience
Well, I would say it has been both good and bad. As you all know, I am troubled with a very moody skin which is oily and dry both at its will and wish so I need a product which will take care of both these things. And, since the weather these days is cooling off and getting drier, that’s definitely taking a toll on my skin. So, first time, I used the face wash, I saw that my face was neither dry nor stretchy and was completely clean. I could stay for a complete night without a moisturizer too. It did becomes stretchy after a while though but that’s not really any face wash’s fault. I am supposed to moisturize.
Now, the product is grayish in color and as with other face washes, it foams a lot in a very less product so you would really want to use less of the product every time coz a little more of the product does cause dryness. I noticed that. If I take a good amount of product, it does cause my skin to go dry and I have to moisturize immediately but if I stick with just a bit, my skin is very comfortable. And, regarding its ability to control the oiliness, I think oil doesn’t come back for an hour or so. But, that’s not something I really expected from this.
My Recommendation
I think it is worth a try, definitely!!!
hmm…so far it seems a decent enough face wash …but does it clean makeup?How is its scent?if compared to neutrogena face wash,which one is better?I am using clean and clear face wash and its really very nice.
wow, Monali!!! you stunned me with your questions 😀 and made me feel such a bad reviewer coz I never really thought on those terms but you are right, so I hope to answer some:
– it has no scent at all so that thing won’t even enter the mind while using it
– it doesn’t clean makeup I think but then I always double cleanse so I have no idea about that
– I never compared it to any face wash earlier but since you asked about Neutrogena, when I think back, I think I would go for this one coz Neutrogena leaves a film on my face which I hate completely
oh, I never used clean and clear ever but one of my friend swears by that!!!
I always wanted to try this.but since ponds dries out my skin a lot..and my other ponds face wash is also just lying coz of the same reason..I do not feel like picking up another ponds..
True Bhumika. The earlier Ponds were drying for the skin but fortunately this one isn’t yet. its a decent face wash and that’s all. you can definitely skip it if you don’t want to try Ponds and you won’t be missing anything 🙂
hi swati.I think i will give this a try,as i love face washes without any smell and films left behind after washing.But it have to wait since my clean n clear face wash bottle is still half filled 😉 you are a good reviewer so feel bad about leaving some points in your review,as so many people do when they are excited about doing some new reviews.
thanks Monali 🙂 but I am not that great a reviewer also. I always forget something or the other during writing my post. Do try and share your views of the product!!!
