Lakme Citrus Rain Fruit Detox Face Wash - Review
What it claims: Detox your skin from the effects of grime and pollution with this rich creamy Face Wash with citrus extracts of mandarin & anti-oxidant Vitamin C, leaving your skin feeling fresh and sparkling clean.Usage: Squeeze a small amount into hands and work into a rich lather with a little water. Massage on wet face. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Caution: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact rinse thoroughly with clear water.
Price: Rs. 135 for 50 gm tube
Pros:
1. Smells amazingly citrusy & fresh – it is like bursting an orange over your face
2. It does clean well – without drying out the skin, has a wonderful creamy texture.
3. Priced decently
Cons:
1. This explicitly states avoid contact with eyes – might be the type that causes stinging. Dunno for sure, as I made sure to keep it away from the eyes.
Overall opinion: This is a nice face wash – it cleans the skin, without drying & also without leaving behind a greasy film. Smells awesome too.
This product was sent for my consideration by the Company / PR but that has not affected my review in any way.
oh i'm yet to try out lakme's new skin care range. everything sounds and looks so tempting that i end up getting confused!
ReplyDeletelooks like a good face wash, y cant we get lakme here :(
ReplyDeleteI found them all a bit similar excpt d flavors n smell..dunno sumhow not that attracted to it..
ReplyDeleteHow does this compare to the Himalaya hydrating face wash, Tanveer? I've used up the Himalaya one & I need a replacement. Also, it's safe to use in the morning, right? Orange makes skin photosensitive, so I'm curious if you've experienced anything like that.
ReplyDeletei somehow dint like it that much
ReplyDelete@Rima: :).. they have come up with real fancy names this time.. The range is just okish, personally, so if something already is working very well for you currently, I would suggest don't get tempted..
ReplyDelete@Abi: Ohh, where do u live? I'm sure you get some brands there too ;)
@Bhumika: Really? I felt they are quite different - in ways more than smell - some of them are def. more hydrating, some better for oily skin and some more exfoliating.
Can't say about flavor - haven't tasted any :D LOL..
@Poohkie: Honestly Poohkie - I use this in the evenings only. During winters I just wash my face in the morning with warm water, & face wash is just end of day. I haven't noticed any photosensitive reactions, but then my skin is not very sensitive. If your's is, please err on the side of caution.
@Retnu: Aww, too bad :P
suitable for dry or oily skin ?
ReplyDeleteYa, I'm going to avoid this, for now. My skin is going through a sensitive-itchy phase, so I'm just going to repurchase the himalaya one. But it's just SOOO tempting to buy something new!
ReplyDelete@Shreya: I have dry skin & I like it. Can't say how oily skinned people will react to it.
ReplyDelete@Poohkie: Yes, if skin is going through troubled phase - either opt for home made, simple stuff or something u trust.
Love your Blog Tanveer. Crisp , precise reviews really make it interesting !! And , dont bother about the standard images. In my opinions , I feel that you should either put real quality good images or use standard ones.Really except for swatches of makeup, we don't really need to see pictures of the product :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.Love your writing style.
Nice to know Lakme is coming up with new products and pricing them decently...high time...
ReplyDeleteGood review!!
