What I liked:
1. The pump option is nice & it dispenses a little bit every time.
2. It doesn't dry out my skin, but at the same time it also doesn't leave any oily film as well. It rinses off clean & completely.
What could be better:
1. I am actually very disappointed with this product. I bought it thinking it is some kind of new fanged tech product that is made of oils, that emulsify & wash off when water is added. I was so excited, I thought this is the new body wash that eliminates need for all body lotion. What a wonderful way to bath - kind of a oil cleanse for the body, apply oil & wash off.
Alas, this it was not to be. This is just a very dilute, mild body wash. Nothing more, nothing less.
2. It doesn't work very well when applied to dry skin, a pumpful hardly suffices for both my arms. It just sinks into the skin. It is better used on damp skin, like a regular body wash. That was you use less.
3. I love the fresh smell of lemon grass. So I was so sure of this product would smell good, I didn't even bother to smell it. Big mistake. It smells very, very strongly of over ripe bananas. Which would be difficult to tolerate in even the best of situations, but I don't want to smell of that when taking a bath.
Recommended: I wouldn't re-purchase this.
If you do want to buy this please understand that this is a just a regular, gentle body wash. Also please take a whiff of this before you buy.
Nice and detailed review. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteOh-oh.. when I read the post I thought exactly what you mention! How cool oil lathering!:P
ReplyDeleteWhy would something that is supposed to smell lemongrass smell like over ripe bananas? eww.. not even like nice banana smell:P Is it possible that the one that you have has gone bad or something?
@Ik: I can detect the smell of lemongrass, but I think the combination with mint & lemon gives it a ripe banana undertone :P
ReplyDeleteUmm, it cld be spoilt although it doesn't look like it and is just a few mnths old manufacturing. I guess I shd take it back to the store & ask them to check. :)
